Marvin O. Ashton, General Authority Visited the Wright Home.

My mother, in her history tells the story of this music. "Mother and Dad were so thrilled at the way we could play the piano. One time, Marvin O. Ashton (member of the Presiding Bishopric and Marvin J. Ashton's father) and another visiting authority came to conference and the folks had them for dinner. We played for them and later Brother Ashton sent us a piano duet book. Grandma's half sister, Aunt Rose, was Marvin's wife."
I found this music in mom's stuff, and assume this is the music Bishop Ashton sent to here. There was also a piece for six hands.
