Hello Seamus and Liam,
I thought I would just send you a little message. I just returned with my husband, Jim, from our St. Joseph's Elementary School 45th reunion. You see, we were classmates of your Uncle Ken's. We had a wonderful evening talking with "Father Ken". I asked him lots of questions about his life before and after St. Joe's. I knew very little about your Uncle, since he only came to our school for just a couple of years. In our conversation, we learned all about your Da. We were fans of many of the programs on TV that your Da was a star. We especially remembered him in 2 of our favorites - Hill Street Blues and MASH. Of course, we had seen him in many other roles. I am so sorry that you lost him so early. There's no doubt that he is happy, since he has a front row seat to watch his sons grow into wonderful young men. Perhaps we'll meet someday when we travel once again in Ireland, our favorite place on earth! We wish you healthy and holy holidays. Patt O'Dwyer Simpson |
