This is a picture of my grandfather, Francis B. Nimick, Jr. at Three Rivers Stadium soon after it opened. I am so struck by this photo for two totally different reasons. The first reason, which I likely share with most viewers, is the total emptiness of the stadium - devoid of fans waiving their black and gold. However, when I look at this photo I get to peak into the life a grandfather I knew very little about: who is he with? why are they there? did he like the Steelers? did he like any sport beside Tennis? I may never know these answers, but I like that he's smiling at me while I ask these questions.
