My cousin, the late Paddy Lally, in front of the home my Irish immigrant grandfather grew up in (whose name was Michael "Iron Mike" Lally) outside Athenry in County Galway.. I took this photo in the 1990s. Last time I visited and spent time with Paddy was in the first decade of this century. A humble but brilliant man.
As was his namesake, Saint Paddy, who if you remember any fact about, it should be that he, once enslaved for several years before escaping, has been cited as the first person in recorded history to speak out about and condemn slavery.
