It is odd, my dad and his brother were the first to finish college on his side of the family. Both became doctors.

My mother's family in Ireland was well-educated. Her mother came from a family of 8 children. Seven of them graduated from college, and a few graduated post graduate programs. That is on my mom's mother's side of the family. My grandfather on my mom's side was a reckless drunk. His family was not alcoholic. They were not ignorant, but not well-educated. I never met this grandfather. His side of the family is the most distant from me. He died when I was just one year old.

Success was leaving Ireland in those days. Today, success is staying in Ireland.
