I didn't know him that well, but I know he was a fan of the Kentucky Derby. He lived near Churchill Downs for years, and was a regular visitor to the famous track.

That love of horse racing must be genetic. There's no other sport I willingly watch, and the Kentucky Derby is like the Super Bowl of the horse racing industry. I tear up when "My Old Kentucky Home" is played. Must be the legacy of multiple generations of Kentuckians in my family history.
I try to watch the Derby every year. This year, I'll watch in memory of my Grandpa Herb.
Do you have a tradition that connects you to your ancestry?
