Welcome Thomas,  I've been to Patchogue. A very nice place albeit a long time ago.  We would like to share with us any ideas you have on content or forums etc. that you'd like to see here on Wild Geese.  All your suggestions will be considered.  We want to make this your Irish History Home away from Home.  Belinda :)

Tom, FYI. http://www.irishexaminer.com/50yearsyoungscientists/the-history-of-irish-science-254701.html?goback=%2Egde_2693847_member_5827033356306501636#%21

"History of Irish Science"

I think you promised us an article about James Rowan Hamilton, Tom. And welcome back!
