We had an elderly guy who for many years came to our firearms training classes. He would bring all sorts of unique firearms, everything from a Thompson machine gun to a caseless .22.
He was Polish. He said, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Polish and those who wish they were!"
Are we living in a time when intelligent people ae silenced so stupid people won't be offended?

My girl. Maureen O'hara. I am working on a portrait of her. I wish it was finished, I would have shown it here. My mother, an O'Donnell, was from Ireland. I love playing Irish music . ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/03/full-20139-171767-hair.jpg)

Sharon, Maureen is my girl too. She is gorgeous. The Quiet Man is one of my favorite films.

Geneticists at Trinity College Dublin found that 21 percent of men from north-western Ireland, 8 percent from all of Ireland, a substantial percentage of men from western and central Scotland, and about 2 percent of men from New York bore the same Y-chromosome haplotype that comes from Nial of the 9 Hostages, the Irish High King, who owned St. Patrick.
Many millions of people are descended from Nial, including many Trapperman members and all US presidents, but one.
From a geanologically traceable descendant of Nial, Happy Escaped Slave Day!

Despite my last name I am mostly Irish
Dad was 25% Italian and 75% Irish (One grandmother was a Currans (paternal) the other was a Drummond maternal) )
Mom was a mix of German, English, Welsh, Scot and Native America
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure
