Tell us when you had turned into dad

When was it? You know, the moment you turned into your father?

Perhaps it was the day you told your daughter just before her first date that boys weren’t to be trusted. Or maybe it was the moment you caught yourself repeating a story that you used to roll your eyes to when Pop told it. Whenever, and wherever, it happened, we want to hear about it. Don’t leave out any details. We’ll pick some of our favorite letters and emails (please keep them under 300 words) and run them in the paper on Father’s Day. Include your name, hometown and telephone number. Send by June 9 to:
