In Loving Memory of my Aunt Marty & Uncle Don


Feeling nostalgic for my godparents, my aunt & her husband, Martina and Donald B. Smith, who were so big a part of the organizational 'family' at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club for three decades-plus ... I post these evocative song lyrics in their honor:


WHERE THE TURF MEETS THE SURF

(Johnny Burke / Bing Crosby / James V. Monaco) Performed by Bing Crosby

"Where the turf meets the surf down at old Del Mar

Take a plane, take a train, take a car.

There is a smile on every face and a winner in each race

Where the turf meets the surf at Del Mar."
