We have a lot of awesome discussions at our meetings and tonight was no exception. It was nice to have the author of Like Father, Like Son? stop by and discuss his book and the journey he went through in writing his book. Most of our discussion was our experiences with our fathers and the men in our lives. It was eye-opening how we all can from different background in our home life and the experiences with our fathers. Thanks to the hungry firefighters we didn't have any leftovers, I take it that they loved the treat after their weekly training. According to the Fire Chief, it was suggested that this would be a welcomed weekly thing. All in all the meeting was a hit. Thank you to all that have came and participated. Also, a HUGE thank you to those from the Southrim Book Club who joined us and brought those delicious peanut butter bars. We all would like to combine both clubs again.

Jamie's (Stockton Book Club's Co-Founder) Opinion of the June's book Like Father, Like Son? by Roger T. Muir and Greg D. Boyle.
In honor of Fathers Day, RonnaLee and I decided it would be a good idea to read Like Father, Like Son?. Well, I wanted to give my thoughts on the book. I loved the book. I liked the format of the book it had a point of view of a person with a father that was there for him and the other point of view of a person who didn't have a father. All the stories were funny, heartwarming and sad. Trust me it will make you laugh, cry and think. While reading this book I thought of my own father who was and is still a great support to me and my brothers. I was fortunate to have a wonderful man who help to mold me in the person I am now. My father taught me everything from Music, Literature, Religion, History, etc. He inspired my brothers to Return with Honor from their missions. My brothers also had fatherly figures that they looked up to as role models in our church. My husband and I don't have children, but I see him be a fatherly support to my nephews and nieces by teaching them and playing with them, even though they have a wonderful father. I strongly recommend this book, America is in desperate need of good and willing men to help mold our future leaders of America. Please read and tell me what you think of the book. We want to hear stories of your Father or a role model in your life.
