 Wisdom of Our Fathers Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons July 15, 2008
I saw my own father in many of the stories that were told. The book brought back a flooding of memories. So much love was in the book. I loved it.
don't miss this by Tim Russert! July 15, 2008
Tim does a magnificent job in reading this, his tribute to fathers....it is one thing to read the book, but to hear it in his own voice, now that he has passed, is indeed a real treat. Get it!!!
Time honored! July 13, 2008
It's hard to believe that this legendary voice will no longer be heard. The wisdom in his words, the poignant way he delivered his message, and sincerity in his letters. Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons captures all these genuine qualities and more. This is a collection of letters showing and telling us of sons and daughters sharing special moments with their dad. As you read through them you'll discover how the bond between children and their parents are everlasting and you'll find yourself reflecting on your own experiences with your kids and parents.

The coasts have had too much influence on America for the last 50 years, beginning with Rock & Roll, I suppose, and the cult of youth. There is much to be said for the heartland beginning with the unglamorous mid-west and the great rust-belt cities of Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and the crown jewel, Chicago. Russert was all about being from Buffalo, a town joked about by those seeking sophistication and importance. I am a late-comer to the Russert admiration society, but I am now a true-believer. I knew him not, but I did spend some time watching his shows this election season and came to admire him enormously. This book is not all that great, but that isn't very important. It is a book in which the transitory words of Television are turned into immortality. This and his other books are our single hold on him. He deserved to be admired and was. That in itself is rare.
