Dale Jarrett is the consumate gentleman, considerate of all.

In February 1998 my father Clifton Turbyfill celebrated his 88th birthday. Dale Jarrettt (#88) was in Hickory for a Ford promotion at Armstrong Ford, and celebrated with Dad, as shown in the photo.

Dale observed that he just drove 88, but dad was really 88. Dad was very proud, as when he worked at Hickory Mfg. Co, he had purchased lumber from Dale's grandfather, father and even his brother Glenn.

In the background of this photo is Dale's son Jason.

Dad passed away in June '04 at the age of 94.

I am in town (from KY) helping Mother observe her 96th birthday, as well as Mother's day.
