1. Why did Pat come to the states, and why did the sisters not come here to visit or him go there to visit over the 60 years?
ANSWER: Pat's father wanted him to become a priest and sent him to seminary school for several years.




Thanks for the answers to my prying questions...
So, Pat's father sent him to seminary school in the states, instead of local? So interesting, to me anyway, to hear how people end up where they do and become what they may.

Also, about the twins... do you think someone could set them up on cams for their computers (assuming they use computers), so they can visit via the net? I live so close to most of my siblings... it seems hard to imagine not having them within driving distance. And, sixty years - WOW! Of course when he came over times were different, families and single members did such things (not that some still don't, i.e. persons under oppressive rule). Was Ireland as Pat remembered it?

AND, I must add my THANKS for the pictures... I love pictures, being a visual person... yours are terrific!!!!!
