My Three Daughters
Bill Weinstein, on leave during World War II, used to take his daughter and
friends to concerts.
Rockin' With Dad
Bill Weinstein is the greatest father! He's always happy to
see me. Whenever he lays eyes on me, he has a warm, loving
smile.
In this photo, he was on leave during World War II. My
mother and I were waiting for him in California. Notice what
a happy father he was even then.
My Dad always has been a very active man. He was busy
with his law practice and the Marine reserves, but he always
had time for his daughter.
He used to drive my friends and me downtown in the
1950s to see rock-and-roll shows. We would arrive at the Fox
Theater by 9 a.m. to stand in line for front-row seats. Dad
would remain downtown =dilate after the performance so
we could get autographs.
My father is 79. His "I love you" every time we talk long
distance, or when we leave each other, brings such an uncon-
ditional feeling of love that I know is always there.
I love my Dad, and I wish him a healthy and happy Fa-
ther's Day.

One Smart Dad
My Dad, Michael Lachman, is the best father in the world. My Dad's business
is run out of the house. When I wake up in the morning and when I come home
from school, my Dad is always waiting for me. Even though I have to keep the
volume down during his working hours, it is still fun to have him around.
I have a very smart Dad. He helps me with my homework whenever I need it.
He even helps during business hours.
My Dad wakes me up in the morning with a kiss, and he always puts me to
bed at night. I'm a very lucky child because I always get to spend time with my
Mom, and especially my Dad.
