ancestors are from Wexford County on the coast of Ireland. In 1588, part of the Spanish
fleet sent to destroy the British wrecked off the coast of Ireland and many of the sailors
were Spanish Moors. Some of the Spanish soliders married the Irish women and the
descendants were known as the dark Irish.

leaders in unionizing the railroad industry as well as being gassed in the Argonne Forest
during the war.

from the University of Notre Dame. I also have degrees in economics and philosophy from
Rockhurst University, a small Jesuit college in Kansas City, Mo."
