Happy St. Patrick's Day !
Today reminds me of my family 's connection with Ireland. Our great great grandfather Michael Hennessey was a Chicago cop in 1900. I believe he came from County Cork in Ireland. He was a bit of a rascal. He liked to joke with his daughter's suitors. Allegedly Michael spooked my great grandfather Edward. When Edward and Ann were courting the family visited a cemetery. Edward was in one tomb and heard voices coming from somewhere. Edward thought spirits were talking to him. Little did he know it was his future father in law Michael in another tomb talking to him. This story always makes me smile a little. Today we are all a little Irish.
Peace
Eve
