After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness self-lessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving lov-ing man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. Even before Dodd, however, howev-er, the idea of observing a day Shane Siwik said the Utah GARDENS organization's organiza-tion's goal is to have 100 community gardens up and . down the Wasatch Front.
