Great vid ... I rode my bike all over Rice almost daily 1954-55 .. it was our play ground ... we use to get in the stadium and play chase all around and some of the open grass areas play football games with lots of kids .... one night Ike Eisenhower came to speak to Houston business men at the Basketball Court Bldg and we (me and friend) went on our bikes and rode inbetween 20+ motorcycle police leading the big old black limo's w/ Ike and asso's traveling maybe 5 mph (hey we were faster than that) ... we went right up to the front doors and lay our bikes down to the left of front doors ... we were invisible ..... and came in when Ike came in ... once Ike started to speak he told all the business men to take off their coats and relax (Houston heat... good name for a sports team) and the all black coats became all white shirts and black ties .. and to think 10 years before Ike was top gun over all these soliders now business men making Houston grow ..... great stuff even for 9 years old we followed his words till we got bored and felt the old guys could take care of every thing ok ...out we went on our bikes thru the parked motorcyles along our route, incl grass and walks, streets & sidewalks..... back home to .... Bissonnett and Mandel area ....... Lucian lll
