Silver Dollars and Wooden Nickels is a weekly feature in the Appeal’s Opinion pages in which the Appeal gives Silver Dollars to those who deserve recognition and occasionally a Wooden Nickel to those who deserve criticism.
SILVER DOLLAR: Here’s to all the fathers out there for everything they do and the sacrifices they make. We wish all the fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day.
