I'd love to meet my father again .. and learn more, my uncles too - and my grandfathers, and great grandfathers .. so much history entwined ... <br /><br />I'd have loved to be around Leonardo, Robert Hooke, Fibonacci .. don't think I would have understood - but perhaps I might ... then the Earl of Bute/s - and other polymaths ..<br /><br />Too many ... but I'd have loved to have had more interaction with my father - not having children I can't pass on and recover those omissions at a different stage of life ...<br /><br />Cheers for now - loved your ideas and the post - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-41229157617948765292012-02-07T10:58:45.145-05:002012-02-07T10:58:45.145-05:00Will: I haven't actually paid too much attenti...Will: I haven't actually paid too much attention to Cosby in the past five to ten years, so I am now curious to hear him out again. And I think most dads would just cheer their kids on if they made themselves famous...for something good...<br />Dawn:Thanks for stopping by! Hurry back.<br />Yvonne: I always think that is a sad thing to hear, that someone doesn't know their own parent. I know its all a part of who you are today though. I guess that's the good inside the sadness<br />Susan: I am a trained teacher too, and I always wished more dads were more involved. I know work was a tough balancing act, but I often had children who's dad I only met on graduation day, if then.<br />Arlee: Thanks again for your encouragement, and for the inspiration to try this post...even if you stole it from someone else first!<br />B: I know in our house, KG Sr was more famous...now though, in the wider world, I think Jr has passed his dad. :) As far as Abraham goes, I think all the faults are an encouragement to me!<br />Tonja: Thanks for the encouragement!<br />Susan: So...have your considered? And, speaking from a highly biased opinion, I agree that dads are very highly underrated and needed.<br />Susan: One of my purposes for focusing this blog on "Daddy issues" is to encourage dads. I've started a message board that hopefully will one day grow into a little community of dads helping each other out.Ron Easton for Dads UnLimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882214390082630285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-47714635882165663122012-02-07T10:45:26.480-05:002012-02-07T10:45:26.480-05:00Nice idea - as the mother of a man who is bringing...Nice idea - as the mother of a man who is bringing up his son as the main carer I would like to find inspiring Dads for him to meet. The problem of choosing people in the limelight is really knowing the reality of the situation isn't it?susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488288947374897002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-41462795167814847112012-01-31T14:55:16.521-05:002012-01-31T14:55:16.521-05:00What a great question to consider.

I don't know a lot of the others on your list and can't even think of who some of their famous children might have been but I think I always thought of KG Sr. as more famous than Jr. but I never knew that Manning Sr. had been a player.

It would really test your mettle if your kid excelled your own field. Seperating the men from the boys in many ways!<br />Bill Cosby did go on, but as a verry different man. Similar message, but a very different attitude towards it. I wish the media had followed his activities more than they have; I'm thinking of the speaking engagements, not in a paparazi sort of way.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887692234695411883noreply@blogger.com
