Our Fathers
In Three Words
conceived, compiled and edited by Margaret Tearman
In this era of Twitter, people are trying to encapsulate their thoughts and ideas more succinctly. Bay Weekly, a hip, happenin’ newspaper, has joined the trend with our annual Father’s Day tribute.
We’ve asked friends and neighbors to tell us, quite simply, about their father — in just three words.It’s an easy assignment, and one we know will inspire you.
Send us your father in three words and picture, and we’ll add them to our story online: [email protected].
