Happy Fathers Day Weekend

Wanted to say happy fathers day to a couple of men that had a big part in making Ripline happen.

I thought some quotes I read (yes dad, I do read sometimes

) would be appropriate. The following made me think of ya’ll:

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby
"None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of such a Father who has not his equal in this world - so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal." -- Queen Victoria of England
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. ~Mark Twain, "Old Times on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name. ~William Wordsworth

Thank you for all that you do!
