Dear Bess and Moon:
It looks like Duke is doing well. He's a good
man and I know you must be happy.
The enclosed pictures are of the hometown of
our great-grandfather. Please note the name
on the pub -- that has to be a first for a
President.
The little clipping indicates that the clan
didn't start in Ballyporeen. - Incidentally,
the picture of "Cashel" -- the ruins on the
hill -- that is where St. Patrick is supposed
to have erected the first cross in Ireland.
Incidentally, we hail from one of the four
tribes of Tara, descended from the High King
of Ireland -- Cathair Ner in 200 AD. - It seems
we were the defenders for a few centuries of
the Gap of Glendine, a narrow pass in the
Slieve Bloom mountains. Our motto was "The
Hills Forever." Every now and then I'd like
to take to the hills myself.
By the way, our great-grandmother was Catherine
Mulcahy.
Mike Kinney dropped in on me the other day and
today Louis Schuman came by.

Have to go now. Nancy sends her love.
Love,
