Congratulations to Donna MacNeal, the winner of our Father’s Day Contest and $500. This is what Donna had to say about her father: I have to say I had the best dad in the world. When he was a young man he got laid off from his job and that was it, he decided to have his own company. My father started off with a small truck picking up trash and then he made his own company. (He wasn't the biggest company but certainly the best). He gave his children everything we needed. Love, support, a wonderful home, with help from his wife of course.

What I appreciate of my father is not only his hardwork ethic or his strong values in faith and family but mainly for his transparency as a person. Growing up, he seized every opportunity as a teachable moment for me and gave me insight to what really matters in life. He used his own life to show me that money, fame, etc., were all fleeting and taught me the value of faith, kindness and love. I … more ›
