These Women Make The Day
Special
For The
BY LOU ANN GOOD
LITITZ (Lancaster) In 1924,
the third Sunday of June was set
aside as Father’s Day. F.very year,
many women, not only acknow
ledge their fathers on this special
day, but also their husbands.
Exactly how they observe this
day varies from person to person.
We asked some of our readers to
share what they do. So if you’re
wondering how to show apprecia
tion toward that man in your life,
read these responses and get some
ideas.
Elfncdc M. Kohut of Boycr
lown said, “My husband doesn’t
need to do dishes. It’s the day we
go out to eat and I pick up the lab.”
Valerie S(runic of Boycrtown
said, “It’s breakfast in bed for my
husband.”
JoAnn DcCesar of Blandon
promises, “I’ll be cooking him a
meal —something that’s a rarity
when summer comes and I’m busy
in the garden.”
Said Sherry Wenger, Manhcim,
“Growing up I was fortunate to
have a loving and caring father.
When choosing a husband, 1
looked for the same qualities and
found them. The men in my life are
very important to me and make me
feel that I am important to them
also.”
I love to eat out, so of course, my
Father’s Day gift to my husband,
father and father-in-law is taking
them out to eat.”
Michele Rodgers, Berks exten
sion home economist and a colum
nist for “Lancaster Farming,” said,
“This Father’s Day is special
because it’s my husband’s first
year as a father.” And what does he
get for his first Father’s Day pre
sent? Michele answers, “I’m giv
ing him a promissory note for a
ride on the Blue Mountain Steam
Railroad.”
Marian Groff and her husband
John have been married 28 years.
Their seven children and Marian
give cards and little gifts. This
year, Marian wrote in prose some
values that she intends to continue
fulfilling to make her husband,
John, feel special year around.
