So, she drummed up support from local churches, the YMCA and others in her hometown of Spokane, Washington, to celebrate dads in June — the month her dad was born. And in 1910, the state of Washington celebrated its first statewide Father's Day.

直到1972年在尼克松总统下父亲节才成为美国官方节日，继母亲节成为官方节日58年之后。幸运的是，杜德活着看到父亲节成为正式节日。她在1978年去世，享年96岁。
Thanks to Dodd, we're reminded to celebrate the special men in our lives. Happy Father's Day!
