Kevin Troller, commenting on the March Webmaster's Corner, passed this on to us:
As for your St. Patrick’s Day info – little known fact, my Grandfather on my mother’s side actually was a teenage stowaway on a ship from Ireland headed to the USA. He was caught twice, and the third time he would have been thrown in jail. He was not caught the 3rd time. The ship landed in Brooklyn, NY, where he found odd jobs as a plumber, electrician and apprentice; got married; and raised his family including my Mom. So – St. Patrick’s Day is a big day for our family. We toast Phillip Boyle with a pint of Guinness.
