The "Frenchy" of "Frenchy's Track Inn" was either Belgian -born Emile Beghin or his <br />Canadian -born son, Ronald Beghin. Together, they operated the tavern and are listed in <br />the 1949 directory. <br />Not all of the Louisville directories indicate who was operating the Track Inn, and there <br />may have been additional managers over the years than those listed, but according to <br />the 1951 directory, the Track Inn was operated by Susan T. Bathauer. Also living with <br />her in the building were her husband, Peter J. Bathauer, and their daughter, Barbadean <br />Bathauer. <br />In directories from 1955 to 1959, Anthony and Thelma Norwid are listed as managing <br />the Track Inn. They lived in the living quarters of the building. In 1958, it was listed as <br />being a "Tavern & Restaurant." <br />The following photo from the Lackner family shows the Track Inn in 1959 and <br />advertising "Smorgasboard Every Sunday." <br />
