Historical Society meeting features the Kautskys
The May 23 meeting of the Perry Township / Southport Historical Society is all about the Kautskys -- the family, the grocery store, and the professional basketball team. The Kautsky family operated a grocery store on Madison avenue for over 50 years, serving as an anchor of the Edgewood community. In the 1930’s and 40’s, Frank Kautsky also owned Indianapolis Kautskys, the first professional basketball team in the city. Players through the years included Edgewood’s own Paul (Pete) Bailey, John Wooden and Branch McCracken. Come join us for an evening of fun stories and conversation. The meeting is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, in the Perry Township Education Center, 6548 Orinoco Ave. Enter through the center doors at the northwest corner of the building.
