This isn't specifically a memory about Father's Day, but it is a memory of my dad, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017). For many years, he volunteered as a referee for youth soccer games in Houston, Texas. It was a great way to stay in shape, too, as he had to run up and down the field along with the boys. This photo of Fred Pape as a soccer referee was taken at the St. Francis de Sales Soccer Club 1979 Thanksgiving Tournament in Houston. Dad would be thrilled about the World Cup games currently taking place in the Dallas and Houston areas, as well as the rest of the country, Canada, and Mexico.
