A footnote for Chicago-area types...

...The Carey family has owned Chicago's Hawthorne racetrack since 1909. Two Carey brothers played football at ND: Tom '55 (a grandson of the elder Thomas who had bought Hawthorne back in 1909) and Tony '65. Tom played for Leahy the year that Johnny Lattner won the Heisman ('53), and many years later the third of the Carey brothers, Bob, saw his son Tim play football at Fenwick with one of Johnny Lattner's sons. Tim is now the President or CEO of Hawthorne.

For several decades Charles Bidwill, the owner of the Chicago Cardinals, pretty much ran Hawthrone for the Careys until Bidwill died of pneumonia a few months before the Cards won their only NFL championship of their Chicago years in 1947. The Bidwills still own the Cardinals, as the Careys own Hawthorne, so this was an interesting intersection of sports ownership dynasties.

(A Carey sister was married to a childhood friend of my dad's from the old neighborhood, and we used to rent a beachfront house from them in Long Beach, IN, where a lot of Careys have summer homes.)
