Hi Jan

Really super story.  Many of us 'Southerners' in the USA with roots way back 
know about (have heard about) those Irish with Scottish accents.  Known as 
Scot Irish here, they were the working class.  Beautiful melodic names like 
McClung (Mac Lungue), Gallagher,  etc.  Rather a bawdy crowd, quick temper, 
and no sense with alcohol.  Loved and respected by most for honesty, hard 
work, and love of family.  So when you tip one or two or OH, what the hell, 
several, say one for those grand lads and lassies who passed this way before 
all of us.  Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.
