The Day family has become a part of our national tradition, and life without Father Day would be very nearly unthinkable. With him, it has been a joy, and sometimes even a trial, but always an enriching and heartwarming adventure. Life with Father, as a play, has broken records for continuous performances, and has established itself as a modern American classic. In book form, Clarence Day's family album is aglow with the spirit of what all of us like best to remember of our own past.
