Synopsis

This is an important book written about an important and often ignored subject, the father-child relationship. – JAMES CARVILLE Thanks to Pop, I learned the value of never publicly displaying my frustration - frustration every golfer experiences – and keeping my emotions in a bottle when I lost regardless of the depth of disappointment, of which there would be plenty. – ARNOLD PALMER My relationship now with my father is fantastic. I was and still remain a daddy's girl. – CHRIS EVERT We were always in awe of Dad's patience. Being in the limelight as he has always been, people were tugging on him to sign this, that and the other thing. Whether it was natural or just important to Dad, he always wanted to act respectfully, kindly, and make everyone feel good. – COOPER, ELI AD PEYTON on father Archie When he did look back on disappointments, it was always with good-natured humor. His failure to win the Governorship of New Jersey, for instance: “I was nosed out by a landslide.” – STEVE FORBES on father Malcolm NOTABLE CONTRIBUTORS: President George H. W.
