My father is a well known public figure. We, his family, are virtually unknown on purpose. Growing up using only our mother's maiden name, living in middle America, our station in life attributed to my Granddad supporting us. Now that I am out of college, actually all three kids are out of college, I find that my Dad is not who people think he is. He is everything but what the public sees, his public image is a persona, to us he is not just Dad he is Daddy.

I am posting this because public figures adopt a persona, but who they really are is a carefully kept secret. So I am anonymous, if you heard my name you would never put two and two together.
