But his wooden car will live on and will be seen in every child's eyes and enjoyed by the smile on their faces. And his voice will be heard through the fathers cheering and saying to their sons, "You Did Your Best!" I appreciate your site. I like to have workshops for the kids each year and teach them about the history of this event as well as show them some items that are autographed by Don Murphy himself. We were blessed to get a phone call from him four months before he passed. Since then I've been blessed to help keep his memory alive.
