There were 13 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “What makes your dad special to you?”
This is Rocky Thompson and in North Conway. I had a lot of great times with my dad. My dad always had time to teach me the better things in life: Be respectful and enjoy life, hunting and fishing. I was with him when I shot my first deer, and I was with him when I got my first big land-locked salmon down on Sebago Lake. Just little things like that made him really special to me.
