80 years ago, when my dad was born, it was a terrible shame to be Irish. Most of the Irish were either recent immigrants with weird, superstitious ways and no means beyond their native ire or they were the children of endentured servants and sharecroppers. My maiden name, btw, is McNulty. That's no secret.
