Happy St Paddy's Howard! On my mom's side, her mother/my grandmother kept the tea hot during St Paddy's Holy week with such ballads as "McNamara's Band". Grandma knew every word and tapped 4 verses out with her shoe toe. Grandpa was a little slower than Grandma as he survived a 4 story fall as a carpenter working on the Sun Life building. Word was that his drinking caused the survival as he and Harry Caray were sharing a wee snifter when Grandpa bounced and the call the plate was safe!
Lovely, Howard; fortunate you were, he, Dick O'Connell, your friend, friendship honored in memory of his impact set by example. No doubt he feels no less of you were he able to speak.
