“Two years ago, when all four of my kids were still age eight and under, they let me sleep in for a change and made me breakfast in bed—with a little help from my wife, Janna. It was very cute, but when everyone climbed onto the bed to ‘help’ serve me, virtually everything—juice, coffee—spilled. It was a total mess, but we all laughed and my sleeping in was suddenly over.” —Eastchester resident Brian Conybeare, news anchor and reporter for News 12 Westchester |

“I don’t think I ever got a gift on Father’s Day other than a card and a kiss. We are not a family of consumption.” |

“Within a couple of weekends of Father’s Day, my kids usually come with me on a Father’s Day sail. My daughter does a magnificent job of acting like she loves boating just to make me happy. Works like a charm.” |

“My kids, Asa and Liz, are six and eight, so nothing beats a good old homemade card written on construction paper—especially as they learn to write the word ‘love.’” —Westchester native Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush |

“A photograph taken on a fabulous family trip to Bermuda—everyone looked so happy! I put it in a colorful heart-shaped frame that was hand-made by one of our children, and it’s right on the refrigerator door at home so I can look at it every day and be reminded how blessed I am.” |

“My son, John, gave me a bunch of cards on which he’d written a contract for a service to be performed. He agreed to watch a ‘sappy Capra movie’ with me, his girlfriend promised black-and-white cookies, his younger brother would run a marathon with me, and my wife would go for a bicycle ride. I recall the bike ride, the cookies, and two marathons—but John himself never came through. Not unless you think It Happened One Night is sappy.” |

“Every Father’s Day is the best father’s day because I get breakfast in bed and lots of greeting cards and showered with love from my wife and two daughters.” |
