He’s a CEO, a grocery man, sits on grocery retail boards, a cattle farmer, a rancher, a gardener, a Daddy, a Pawpaw, a husband, a good man. He wears many hats all year long but at this time of the year, we honor the daddy.
Father’s Day was first proposed in 1909 by Sonora Dodd. After listening to a Mother’s Day sermon, she thought that the fathers should also enjoy their own memorable day.

From the publisher 06-11-2026
Tired of scandal. Tired of high prices. Tired of debt figures so large they become meaningless. Tired of officials who explain away conflicts of interest with a grin and a lawyer’s memo. Tired of watching the powerful treat public service as a private toll road.
That exhaustion is not accidental. It is useful to those in power.
