FATHER'S DAY PHOTOS
In an Almanac tradition, readers are invited to send in photos of fathers with children, grandfathers with grandchildren and multi-generational photos. The Almanac will print as many photos as possible in the week before and after Father’s Day.
E-mailed photos are best. Be sure to include text that identifies every person in the photograph and their ages if possible, tells when, where and what’s happening, and includes your town of residence. A few words or a sentence or two on what your father means to you are always welcome.
You can also mail in a print, being sure to include the same information. If you include a self-addressed-stamped envelope, we will do our best to send the print back to you, but please do not send us any irreplaceable photographs.

Or mail to Connection Father’s Day Photos, 7913 Westpark Drive, McLean, Va. 22102.
