A way to honor Dad

Props for Pops

A new section of the site honors dads for Father's Day.

For June, we're launching a new section of the site called ''Props for Pops.'' Users are encouraged to share their favorite or memorable story of their dad, living or dead. There's no character count, so users can write for as long as they want. There's also the option to post photos of dad to create an impromptu gallery. And unlike most other sections of our site, users don't have to be registered to submit stories and pictures.

Finally, users can score points with dad or get a one-up over their siblings by e-mailing and sharing their "pop prop" with others.

A handful of online stories and photos will be chosen to run in The Roanoke Times Extra section on Father's Day.
