Happy Father's Day We could not let this issue go to press without expressing at least a few words of gratitude and appreciation for those men who take on the awesome responsibility of being fathers. It takes a lot of love, selflessness, sacrifice, patience, understanding and hard work to be a good father. And we salute those men who make our society stronger by making their families their top priority in life. We love you all, and we thank you. Have news to share? Send your information to: John E.
