Released in April, 1974, country legend Loretta Lynn's tribute to her father Ted Webb,
"They Don't Make'Em Like My Daddy" was a big hit for her that summer, peaking
at Number # 4 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
My father, Anthony Brida was not a coal miner, but he was definitely, "one heck of a man
who worked for what he got" building a successful trucking business with my mother
while raising six kids. It was not easy, but my Dad belonged to a generation of
men who believed that self-reliance and determination, along with hard work,
reaped their own rewards. A quality of character which is sorely lacking
in this once "great big land of freedom" of today. I love you, Daddy.
