Kentucky Derby: Wally Burress and Irving S. Cobb agree

Wally Burress writes:
Mr.Waggener, I had Laura send a couple of pictures from yesterday at the Derby. I tend to agree with what the author and columnist Irving S. Cobb wrote about the Kentucky Derby.

He wrote that "Until you go to Kentucky and with your own eyes behold the Derby,you ain't been nowheres and you ain't never seen nothing'!!

I know I'm biased on this subject,but it's quite the event to witness. I've been lucky to have attended 22 so far. Yesterday was the 28th anniversary of Chad's Derby. Regards, - Wally
Thanks, Wally Burress: And for those very, very few who don't remember who 'Chad' is, he's Coax Me Chad, Wally Burress's famous Derby Racehorse who's now a resident of Adair County. Story: It is Coax Me Chad's 30th birthday. - ED WAGGENER
