Father’s Day DuosMany children are obviously cut
from the same cloth as theirparents. This Father’s Day, take alook at these famous fathers andtheir equally famous offspring:
John Adams and John QuincyAdams. The first father-son duo toboth serve as U.S. presidents(second and sixth, respectively), theAdams men left a lastingimpression on American societyand politics.
Muhammad Ali and Laila Ali.“The Greatest” heavyweight boxingchampion must have passed on hiswinning genes to his youngestdaughter, who was undefeatedduring her own eight-year career inthe ring.
Paul McCartney and StellaMcCartney. Papa Paul has earnedworldwide fame as a former Beatleand prolific songwriter; daughterStella is a respected fashiondesigner.
Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller.
Funny runs in this family: Jerry Stiller,known for roles in the sitcoms“Seinfeld” and “The King of Queens,”is the proud father of actor/comedianBen Stiller, star of “Meet theParents,” “Zoolander” and the “Nightat the Museum” films.
Quincy Jones and Rashida Jones.Grammy Award-winning artist QuincyJones is best known for producingrecords for Frank Sinatra, ArethaFranklin and Michael Jackson, butmodern audiences may be morefamiliar with his daughter, actressRashida Jones. She has starred inthe TV shows “The Office” and“Parks and Recreation.”

A Tribute to theAmerican Flag
For many of us, the memory ofreciting the Pledge of Allegiance inschool is a common one. Standingwith right hand over heart andspeaking its words in unison was atypical start to the day. Fittingly,America’s classrooms were thereason for the pledge’s creation.
In 1892, Francis Bellamy was astaff member of “The Youth’sCompanion,” a popular children’smagazine. He was tasked withcreating a patriotic program for thenation’s public schools to celebratethe 400th anniversary of ChristopherColumbus’ arrival in the New World.A key component of the programwas a tribute to the American flagthat students would recite together.Bellamy drafted the original pledge: “Ipledge allegiance to my flag and therepublic for which it stands, onenation, indivisible, with liberty andjustice for all.”
In October of that year, millionsof schoolchildren participated in thefestivities, and in time, the pledgebecame a part of classroomroutine. Through the years, thepledge has been slightly modifiedto the words we know today. InJune 1942, it was included in theU.S. Flag Code, and in 1945, theofficial name, the Pledge ofAllegiance, was adopted.
June 14 is Flag Day!

A Pink DrinkSipping a refreshing glass of pink
lemonade is the perfect way to cooloff when the temperature climbs. Buthave you ever wondered who inventedthe drink, and why it’s tinted pink?
Most historians have traced pinklemonade to 19th-century travelingcircuses, where traditional lemonadewas already a popular refreshment.Two stories of the origin of the pinkversion stand out. In one, Henry Allott,a teenager working at a circusconcession stand, accidentallydropped red cinnamon-flavoredcandies into a batch of lemonade.He served the rosy-hued drink to hiswaiting customers, and it was a hit.
A second story claims circusworker Pete Conklin ran out of waterwhile making lemonade. He grabbed anearby tub of water that a performerhad used to wash her pink tights,added it to his mixture, and sold it as“strawberry lemonade.”
However the beverage came to be,it continues to be a popular thirstquencher. The pink lemonade soldtoday is usually tinted with fruit juicesand extracts or red food dye.
So why does the pink drink remaina favorite? Psychologists believe thatits pastel color is relaxing andcalming, providing ideal relief on a hotsummer day.
