FATHER’S DAY
Photos and interviews by Beth Black
Remember growing up and your dad spouting
words of wisdom,
or Dadisms?
We asked folks what their
favorite Dadism was.
My dad always says “Be
a leader, not a follower.”
— Brianna Cady
My father always said
“If you are going to do it,
then do it right!”
— Paula Krueger
My dad took me to the
projects all the time and told
me that if I didn’t stay in
school, then that is where I
would live. Hence, 13 years
in college.
— Dr. Donna Cady
My dad always wanted us
to be self sufficient and even
though he is Hispanic and
has a certain mindset, he
never wanted his daughters
to depend on a man. He
taught me to build myself
out of nothing. He said, “You
can build an empire out of
one cent.”
— Erika Olivos Camino
My father would always
tell me “It is never too
late. Never too late to
call, never too late to
change;” a phrase that
helped along the way
with life challenges.
— Gem Osceola
My dad lives by example and
we have watched him give the
shirt off his back to anyone in
need and welcome everyone.
That, and he made us learn
every possible street address if
we wanted a ride anywhere.
