Hello Fellow Boomers. Seems like only yesterday father's were men of strength and integrity. Unlike cartoon characters on TV of the dysfunctional. With Father's Day coming Sunday, it's a good time to remember our father's who helped teach future fathers. My dad was born in 1908 in an Iowa farm town and he was one of the Greatest Generation. He was not perfect, but knew I was always loved and supported. I was surrounded by my dad friends who too were excellent role models for me growing up in the 1950s. Many people joke about the nuclear family portrayed on 50s TV programs; but, I'm here to tell you it was very real for me.
Here is one of my favorite songs about father's. Hope it brings back many good memories for you too!
