Dedication and Gratitude

These are the people who help us tell our story: Michael Conlon, Betty Hunter, Michael Murphy, Mary Lee Dunn, Helen and Michael Brennan, and Brian McNamara. They live in Ireland, Australia and the United States. They honor us, themselves and the ancient roots from which they sprang. To paraphrase Betty Hunter’s poem: Their ancestors all should be proud of them.
