“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.

Napkin Note: A turn of events!

WGarth Callaghan

I received a Napkin Note in the mail today.  I am beside myself with joy!  Can you imagine?  Someone sent ME a Napkin Note.  Here is the note: 

Hey Mr. Callaghan, 

Thought you should receive a napkin note.  I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you and what an inspiration your story is.  I ran across the article in the paper again the other day and have shared it with many. 

Thank you for your story and the lives you are touching. 

Keep up the good work! 

Sincerely,
