Things Our Fathers Taught Us


In honor of Father's Day, Patch asked local residents about things their fathers taught them.

Elizabeth Van Wynen spoke about a lesson and a special book she recently passed on to her granddaugther. When she would ask about the spelling or definition of a word, her father would always tell her to look it up in the dictionary. She kept that dictionary and continued to use it until she gave it to her granddaughter.

See the attached video for more lessons from fathers and share things your father taught you in the comments below.
