Happy Father's Day to all the Wonderful Men in My Life

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

It takes a special person to be a real father -and I've been blessed to have been raised by one; and surrounded by family members who exemplified the role of FATHER every day.  My Grandparents on both sides of the family, my Uncles - Adolf, Major, Buddy,  and John Q., and my classmates from Lincoln University whom I've grown to know and love over the years - all have these wonderful character traits.   It's an honor to know you and see the fact that your offspring and their offsprings are growing and prospering in wisdom, knowledge and understanding.   Though some have made their transition - like my brother/friend, Zach Husser, and my favorite Uncle Adolf Dulan - they are still very much a part of my heart, and have raised some very amazing kids to carry forward their wisdom and knowledge.


So to all the Brother/Friends in my life: 
HAPPY FATHERS' DAY - 
STAY BLESSED &
ECLECTICALLY BLACK
