What Our Dads Have Taught Us

Growing up, most of us learn an awful lot from our parents. That is, after all, what they are there for, right?

With Father's Day coming up on Saturday, it seemed only appropriate to find out what exactly Merrimack residents and business people learned from their dads.

Be it a lesson or a skill, whether he taught you to tie your shoe or to practice patience in the most trying situations, dads play an important role in shaping our futures.

Thank you to Dave McCray, Leslie Caron, Modesto Cruz, Amanda Amato, Mark Bickford, Ellen Kolb and Dan Bantham for sounding off on the memorable and important things your dads shared with you.

Want to share your own insight in to the important things your dad taught you? Tell us about him in our "Local Voices" section.

To all the dads in Merrimack, and to my own in Hampton, Happy (almost) Father's Day!
