Thank God it happens only once a year


St. Patrick himself showed up in Lumberton on March 17th for the dancing, the parade, and the endless birthday parties.






Ms. Hogan not only shares my birthday and teaches at St. Francis School, she also had a grandmother named Margaret O'Connor.

Who's the cute little tyke on the left in the green hat?
And who organized the parade...Ms. Dunham?

Ms. Hogan organized the St. Francis participation in the Pagosa Springs, CO parade.

The tyke is Marisol Talamante. Her mom was the person who recruited me. As I was in Hawaii awaiting the overdue Alana, Marisol's mom was awaiting the overdue Marisol. Thus, I credit her for making the recruiting conversations interesting and therefore landing me here.
