Happy Father's Day to all the Zoner baby daddies!

[Sandy Eggo]

When I was little, the first thing I can remember wanting to be was a forest ranger. I thought it had to be the coolest job in the world. Between childhood and teenhood, I forgot all about that dream and decided that I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic. I know, my friends all thought I was a lil' odd. 

At any rate, I've loved this magazine my entire life.

I had music for the moms and now I have photos to share with the dad's.

  Happy father's day to me.  My baby boy is 46 years old and it only seem like yesterday that he came into my world.  Time sure goes fast when your having fun.

Well, my own brood is spread across the nation like seeds in the wind, but I would not trade any one of them for all of the wealth in the world. Despite the challenges, the detours, and the all nighters they drive and have driven, they remain the best damned thing I ever achieved in this life; and I am proud of every single one of them. 

When I was little, the first thing I can remember wanting to be was a forest ranger. . .

I did too, but my reason for it was my great grandfather who spent his career as a forest ranger. I was lucky enough to meet him at an age where I was able to know and remember him. He was retired by the time I first met him, but used to take me to a couple of his old "watch towers" in the Daniel Boone National Forest when we visited. Those are some of my most cherished memories of him.

After that comment, I'm ashamed to say that my inspiration was Yogi Bear.

Ok, I was serious about that, but it was also the fact that I loved the woods and animals..so..maybe Merlin Perkins played a role, but I remember a commercial with a Native American who sat up on a hill, looking into the valley and it was trashed. When he turned to the camera, he looked so devistated and sad. It made me angry that people made him sad by being careless.

I was real little, alright?

The second one is probably the one you remember. . .The Native Americans name is Iron Eyes Cody.
