(Due to popular reader response, this column has been rerun from last year. Happy Fathers Day!)

We are our fathers.

To some extent we were shaped to function in our lives from their, sometimes unseen, actions of love and, of course, the times that are stuck on our faces in smiles much like one would magnetize a note to the refrigerator door.

I often wonder how my father shaped my sporting life.

He was never in any sport that I witnessed. Nor could he ever attend one of my contests.

When I was born, he was already in his 50’s.

The Lynn Canal Running Camp is looking for a few more good men, and women, to mentor the youth athletes attending the annual “sole searching” gathering beginning Sunday, June 23.

“This is our biggest camp ever,” counselor Merry Ellefson said. “It is still just the right size to stay on a good one-on-one and have reflections around the fire and let the kids get to know each other. And we just won’t be able to fit any more yoga mats inside the main lodge, so the size is perfect.”
