             How many fathers get to be introduced by their sons to a warm welcoming congregation on the 100^th Father’s Day? That was my experience earlier today when I was the speaker at the Unitarian Church in Charleston. My grandchildren were there and so was my daughter-in-law. I was flattered by the invitation and warmed by the reception I received. My challenge to them as it is to all of us is to make an effort to turn down the harsh rhetoric, say something encouraging and uplifting to those we meet and to treat everyone with respect.
