The Fatherless Generation



                                                         


Mr. Joe L. Morton
                                                                        

   Saturday October 13, 2012     
      
 Joe Morton will talk to Betty Lamarr about how it feel to
not  have the love of his father. Joe remembers the day that his
dad drove off in his white Chevy convertible. Joe was 4 years old and the last  time he saw his dad.  Joe will talk about the void of a fathers love and, how it opened his eyes to the importance of re-connecting with his 2 sons. 
Tune in Saturday to hear this sad but true story.
Unfortunately, there are many children living in the same city
 as their dad that will never make the connection.
 Sadly, 42 years had passed  before would see, or hear a word from his father.  Imagine, 42 years later Joe attending his dad's funeral. Attending a funeral for a man that lived in the same city with his son that never  called to ask how are you?
