My Dad and my Uncle Earl could barely contain their enthusiasm as we
celebrated Father's Day this June 16 at my Grandparents' home in Dansville, NY.

Here, the Dads roast some hot-dogs and discuss how the rest of us could
never possibly survive without their grill skills.

kitchen utensil. Later, she would encourage me to run through traffic while carrying
scissors.
