HAPPY SAINT PATRICKS DAY to all my family and friends in Castlebar. I am presently here in Florida and I have to say the Americans have taken our patron saint's day and have made it into a great day of celebration. Every American I meet tells me that they are Irish. When I inquire as to where they are from I find that their great great grandfather 6 times removed was from somewhere in the 26 counties. Ah well, I sduppose that it is a compliment to the Irish that they feel so close to us.
