This site is dedicated to all the great Dads and Grandpas of the world. Not just the Fathers and GrandFathers who are famous but the Dads who have improved the world by giving of themselves and by raising their children to be the best that they could. These Great Dads deserve to be recognized, not just on Father's Day or their Birthday or any other holiday, but every day, all year long.

We have received many requests from dads and grandpas who are interested in making their own wooden whistles.

Great for Father's Day, Father or Grandpa's Birthday, School or Class Projects, just to write a story or poem, or to say I Love You.

I am frequently asked "Why the whistles?" Whistles remind me of my Father. You have to read the story below to truly understand. Anyway, we give the coveted "Whistle Award" for the best Dad stories submitted and we sell whistles (click here).

About My Dad

Memories are what we are. Our memories guide our thoughts and decisions throughout our lives.

I remember a crystal radio which I received as a present when I was young. I don't remember whether I got it for Christmas, my Birthday or for being good. I almost remember that it worked, but I'm not sure. But I remember my Dad and I sitting at the kitchen table putting it together. I remember him explaining to me how the radio worked and cautioning me to be very careful with the single transistor which we were mounting in the center of the piece of wood which was to be the radio. This was state-of-the-art technology. I remember that time spent with my Father, how excited he was about that new transistor technology, and maybe that happy memory is why I have always loved making things. And why I am always curious about how things work.

My Father was an engineer, always making and inventing new stuff. He could fix anything. But it wasn't making new gadgets, or repairing the percolator, or inventing a new way to cook hot-dogs that he enjoyed the most. He enjoyed making whistles. I think, actually, he most enjoyed watching me and my three sisters play with the whistles he made for us. Then later, he enjoyed watching his eight grandkids play with the whistles he made for them. For you see, his Dad had taught him how to make whistles....

Every time I hear a whistle, I think of my Dad.

This site is dedicated my Dad and to the sound of children blowing whistles.

Memory: My Dad gave me my first teddy-bear on the day I was born. I don't remember him giving it to me but I remember my Mom telling me that he did. That teddy-bear is still around. I gave it to my first son...on the day he was born.

Dads are Great is a site about loving and caring and appreciation for a person who has contributed greatly to our lives. We are saddened by the needless loss of life in the recent tragedy on September 11.

We offer our sympathy, condolences and prayers for those who lost parents, children, family members, friends or loved ones. Many children are now without Dads or Moms to take care of them, love them and guide them throughout life. All for no rational reason.

God Bless America.
