whom St. Mary’s academy in O’
Neill is dedicated. (Both are St,
Mary’s graduates.)
“Venice was the most fascinat
ing place we’ve been yet,” they
wrote their parents. “Everything
is so commercialized.”
No wonder. Venice was the
port through which civilization
passed in working its way west
ward.
They spent the Fourth aboard
a U.S. minesweeper, Macomb, in

"Well be home when our
money runs out," they jokingly
write, "and that will be in
August."
Meanwhile, ahead lies England
(it’s the 100-year-festival season
there) and Ireland. Their grand
parents on both sides came from
Ireland.
In a few days they’ll be creak

Cork in a carriage behind a burro
and searching for kin they’ve
never seen.

money will run out.
