Father-Daughter T he Father-Daughter Dinner Dance, traditionally held each year at Lanta- na ' s in Randolph, has been a memor- able event for all of us over these past years at Regis College. We anticipated this particular date with, perhaps, a little more ease and assurance that we had others. We could relax and enjoy having our father ' s undivided atten- tion. It was a time for us to catch up on the news of our family, and Dad was always eager to hear about our achievements at school. We constantly talked through din- ner, mingling with the fathers of all our friends. When the dessert dishes were finally cleared away, everyone ' s favorite part of the evening began. Whether or not fathers and daughters danced, or just sat listening to the band, perfectly content being in each other ' s company, did not make a difference. There was a certain feeling in the room that ev- eryone experienced. It was as if we all had finally understood what our relationships with our fathers reallv meant. We realized that our dad was more than someone wno was always there to protect and guide us. Somewhere along the way he turned into a best friend.
