Watertown Daily Times: NNY native’s ‘Napkin Notes’ are food for the soul

The Watertown Times, the paper I delivered as an 11 year old paper boy, has shared our Napkin Notes journey.
PORT LEYDEN — A Port Leyden native and cancer survivor is spearheading a movement intended to improve parents’ connections with their children, one napkin at a time.
“As a dad, this is really important to me,” said W. Garth Callaghan, who is sharing his “Napkin Notes” philosophy through several digital formats, including Facebook.
Mr. Callaghan, 44, a 1987 graduate of South Lewis Central School, Turin, who now lives near Richmond, Va., with his wife, Rissa, and daughter, Emma, began writing short notes on the napkins he sent with his daughter’s packed lunch when she was in kindergarten.
