In over 27 years of being a father, a lot has changed for Ossian’s Ken Buchheit. His kids’ activities, interests, and relationships with him have changed and evolved immensely, but one thing that remains unaltered is his love and support for all three.

“My wife, Karla, and I met while in high school at South Winn,” recalled the local father. “We got married on April 22, 1989, and had our first son, Kasey, the following year.”

Father’s Day will soon be upon us, and as many of us make plans, buy a card, and find just the right tie, mug, or T-shirt to present to Dad, let us take a moment to reflect. This mid-June holiday takes on many different meanings, depending upon your relationship with your father, your age, and whether or not you yourself are a father. Before this one slips away, perhaps it would be beneficial to consider what makes a good father.
