This past Sunday, Spokane celebrated the 100^th Anniversary of Father’s Day, established here in Spokane by Sonora Smart Dodd. I had the opportunity to take part in some of celebratory festivities over the weekend - it was an honor to celebrate such a dynamic and influential Spokane woman — and meet some of her relatives from around the world.

You can visit Greenwood Memorial Terrace Cemetery to see the new memorial dedicated to Sonora, plus a beautiful waterfall and bench they installed in her honor.
