I was in Dublin just after JFK was inaugurated.

I wasn't allowed to buy a beer the whole time I was there.

Everyone wanted to be near me and talk to me.

Great sense of pride by all....I'm an American AND Irish.

JFK died on my 20th birthday.

All four of my grandparents were Irish immigrants to the USA. I consider myself to be American, just American, because I think Teddy Roosevelt was right about there being no such thing as a hyphenaged American. Even if I didn’the so believe, I would eschew any affil u Arion with the Irish because I am disgusted by how reflexively anti-GOP the Irish over there and the illegal Irish are here. They seem to love to be resentful victims.
