Years ago, my wife and I operated a mail-order company selling books to homeschooling families. During the spring and summer, we also traveled to homeschool book fairs, peddling our wares directly to customers.
At these gatherings, I was an occasional speaker, usually instructing parents on the topic of teaching Latin at home.
I was in Atlanta for one of these fairs, which if memory serves was the weekend before Father’s Day, when one of the organizers of the convention explained that the speaker on the topic “Dad in the Homeschool” had fallen ill and asked if I could address fathers the following day. I agreed, put together some thoughts, and the next afternoon, spoke to an audience of about 30 dads with a sprinkling of moms.
