Our dearest sympathy goes out to the Ashcraft Family from the Dooley's. There is nothing but fond memories of your father. We always enjoyed the visits your family made to our home on the 4th of July and especially the memory of your father in Louisville, Kentucky of your father in the rain calling on Dust Commander to win the Derby.
