What Our Dads Taught Us

Thoughts on the teachings from fathers from around Middletown and Newport.

In one sentence, could you tell us what your dad taught you?

Middletown and Newport residents tell us their answers in the video seen above. Most of them needed more than one sentence to sum it up.
