PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT “Each therapist takes their time with you. They have so many different exercises and focus on getting your body back to feel- ing better. I highly recommend the facility in Royal Palm Beach! Very hard working staff! Not only staff but patients applaud when an elderly person succeeds with a completed exercise! Watching their faces light up is priceless! Thank you for all you do, FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Center!!” — Eileen D.
7 DAD FACTS FOR FATHER’S DAY
Gather ’round the grill and toast Dad for Father’s Day—the national holiday so awesome that Americans have celebrated it for more than a century. Here are 7 Dad facts you can wow him with today. 1. Halsey Taylor invented the drinking fountain in 1912 as a tribute to his father, who succumbed to typhoid fever after drinking from a contaminated public water supply in 1896. 2. George Washington, the celebrated father of our country, had no children of his own. A 2004 study suggested that a type of tuberculosis that Washington contracted in child- hood may have rendered him sterile. He did adopt the two children from Martha Custis’s first marriage. 3. In Thailand, the king’s birthday also serves as National Fa- ther’s Day. The celebration includes fireworks, speeches, and acts of charity and honor—the most distinct being the donation of blood and the liberation of captive animals. 4. In 1950, after a Washington Post music critic gave Harry Tru- man’s daughter Margaret’s concert a negative review, the president came out swinging: “Some day I hope to meet you,” he wrote. “When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a sup- porter below!” 5. A.A. Milne created Winnie the Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin. Pooh was based on Robin’s teddy bear, Edward, a gift Christopher had received for his first birthday, and on their father/son visits to the London Zoo, where the bear named Winnie was Christopher’s favorite. Pooh comes from the name of Christopher’s pet swan. 6. Kurt Vonnegut was (for a short time) Geraldo Rivera’s father- in-law. Rivera’s marriage to Edith Vonnegut ended in 1974 because of his womanizing. Her ever-protective father was quoted as saying, “If I see Gerry again, I’ll spit in his face.” He also included an unflattering character named Jerry Riv- ers (a chauffeur) in a few of his books. 7. Andre Agassi’s father represented Iran in the 1948 and 1952 Olympics as a boxer.
