So what is this piece about I am asked??? This is a group of Dads who also unfortunately lost a child. This is a great dads group, in a different setting than that of the past, We had all agreed we wanted a different setting. We did not want to sit in a room with no windows and sit in a circle >>nothing wrong with that ...This was just not us !! This is just a new breed of Dads who have found a different way to talk, console, laugh..Yes Laugh in a lighter arena,and yet support each other fully The Host of this is Barry David Kluger..We met on Friday at Mortons in Kierland and were taped by Channel 12 news. It was a Special Nite and we have agreed to do this on a regular basis. It was a casual evening on the Patio at Mortens with much talk, Tears, hugs and laughter. Thanks again Barry Kluger, Barry Adkins,Steve Larsen and Darren. This evening was very warm and appreciated spending this nite with a great bunch of Guys I wish I did not have to meet under these terms. But it did help launch a new avenue for a support group and a way for us guys to get together and keep our memories alive in our comfort level.. Thank You !!

I am the Father of 5 children, Ages: (In Heaven Dawn 35), Kristen-32, Nicole-30, Michael Jr.-29, and Michelene- 21.
After the loss of my daughter Dawn in 2001 to a hit and run driver, I was fortunate to learn about the MISS Foundation which has helped reshape my life. I am hoping that this tragic event in my life and the things I have learned along the way have suited me to help other parents cope with this unthinkable loss we share.
I am a Mentor and Facilitator with this wonderful organization I have been fortunate to be part of since 2003
