WebNews #9 Father's Day Edition: Sunday June 19, 200

Father's Day History: Father's Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June. "The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died". Extract From: http://www.marvelcreations.com/fathersday.html

Alumni Family and Friends: is Under Construction! Development of this new section of our alumni website is moving along and is approx. 50% completed. When finished, every Alumni that has at least one article posted on our website, will have their own "Alumni Family and Friends" section. Each Alumni (or Friend) will have a Family Index webpage to call "Your Own HomePage". Your Family Index webpage will contain links to all your stuff, regardless of where they are posted on our St. Agnes Alumni website. We encourage you to submit articles for posting in your section. Your submissions can also be articles about your friends, in effect making your section "Your Very Own Website".

Please note that until construction is completed, I will be breaking down links and creating new links. As you browse our alumni website, you may encounter "broken links" or "missing links" to articles that should be posted on your "Family and Friends" Index webpage. If you encounter problems with links, please email the URL or a description of the "broken links" or "missing articles" to Web Designer: David T. Feliciano
