Thread Name: BS: No father on Father's Day
Subject: BS: No father on Fathers day
Every year we are encouraged to send pressies and cards on Fathers day but there are many of us who don't have Fathers alive any more. So, just take a moment and ask yourself, 'what did my Father do that I am proud of and that I should remember him for on Fathers Day?'
I'll start... My Dad was George Wallis. He ws a member of the Lingfield Bonfire Club and made the torches for the Bonfire procession. He was a conscientious objector in WWII and served in the fire srvice. He helped save all the children in Lingfield School when it was bombed. He sat me in front of the TV when the Berlin Wall went up and told me it ewas my responsibility to make sure I did all I could to make sure it came down in my lifetime and he took me on my very first anti war demonstration in Grosvenor Square.
