I think you meant to say "stepfather".

This morning's CBS News Sunday Morning featured a spot by Anthony Mason pointing out that Father's Day is definitely for stepfathers as well as natural fathers. You can read the essay at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/...n5101102.shtml It appears that they didn't post the video.
