To: Cincinatus' Wife

The name Berrigan rings a bell. I seem to recall there was a looney-tunes leftie back in the 1960's named Berrigan who ran around protesting everything military. I wonder if there's any family connection.

Phillip gerrigan's daughter..

Born in Two Harbors, MN, in 1923, Philip Berrigan was the last of the six sons of German immigrant Frida Fromhart Berrigan and railroad engineer, labor organizer and radical Thomas F. Berrigan.

Upon Phil’s parole in 1973, he and Liz were married in a formal ceremony; the church responded by excommunicating both of them. They settled in Baltimore, founded the intentional community Jonah House and began constructing what was, for them, a normal domestic life: They wrote, organized and had children—Frida in 1974, Jerry in 1975 and Kate in 1981.
