I hope and pray you enjoy your visit with me. My pages are different for one very important reason, I am a Born again, Bible believing Commited Christian and because of that, this site will reflect my beliefs. A child may not inherit his father's talent, but he will absorb his values.
Fathers are such an important part of a home.
Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
