I don’t always have time to read the Journal — too busy, and so many negative people — but it was sitting in front of me this morning and I was having coffee, decided to open it and see who was complaining about the island this week and ran across the editorial “What we have learned from our fathers.” Wow, did that lift my spirits to hear there are still people out there who are grateful and had a great father! I had one of those guys too, thank you for writing it!
