Never too Late to Celebrate Fathers!!

Did you know that it was President Lyndon B. Johnson who proclaimed the first Father's Day in 1966, but it wasn't signed into law until 1972 by President Richard M. Nixon. Signed into law? Never thought of that! It took that long because Congress resisted making it a national observance, for fear of commercialization. Commercialized or not, it's a pleasure to honor the men in my life - and the fathers they were and are. Each one, Rich's dad, my dad, Rich, Jeff, Jeremy, and Brett were/are Godly men. It is said that the best gift a father can give his children is to love their mother, and I say that every child from these men received this gift! Our lives are blessed by the gift of these MEN! May God be praised!

Rich and his father, Dick.
