TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE

ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how

HINT: (1835 ? 1910) This famous American author also used

FATHER'S DAY TIDBITS
The idea of Father's Day was conceived in Spokane, Washington
by Sonora Dodd while she listened to a Mother's Day sermon in
1909.
***
The following year, June 19, 1910 was chosen for the first
Father's Day celebration, proclaimed by Spokane's mayor
because it was the month of William Smart's birth.
***
Decades later, the first presidential proclamation honoring
fathers was issued in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson
designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.
Father's Day has been celebrated annually since 1972 when
President Richard Nixon signed the public law that made it
permanent.
