Fatherhood Week 2005
"
...A Proclamation for the State-wide observance of
"Fatherhood Week" was enacted (for the fifth year in a
row) by the Office of Governor Doyle of the State of Wisconsin in May
of 2005. The
idea for that observance was first originated by, written by, and proposed
to (then) Governor McCallum in 2001 - by Wisconsin resident, Robert C.
Kuhmann of Walworth County... a devoted advocate whose work favors the
Rights of children, parents, and Grandparents -- everywhere."
