Just wanted to take a minute to welcome you here to our blossoming community of lovers of all-things-Irish. Loads of great information and resources available here, and I know it's only going to get better with time. Hope to hear about your own "Irish story" here in the future. Welcome aboard, Bill!
I am very familiar with Mukwonago, because I live in Oconomowoc which only about 20 miles distant. I remember the wonderful amusement park in Mukwonago, which has long since been torn down.
So happy you are able to visit Eire on an annual basis. If I were told I had a month to live, I would spend 3 weeks in Ireland. :)
Yes, yes, yes!! Please forgive my "brain freeze". :(
As a dental hygienist, I did work one day a week for Dr. White whose office was on the main N/S street, in Mukwonago. He may have been practicing there before you moved to Maryland. ??? (this is NOT a brain freeze) :)
Yes, I went to Marquette. I graduated, in 1959, from the 2-year dental hygiene program. Practiced for 44 years and retired in 2004. I am age 73....and also happy to be on this side of the sod.
I live on the family farm I inherited after my widowed mother passed in 1993. Have 3 horses and 3 dogs; all rescues. I keep "lifting that barge and toting that bale", so as not to lose my strength needed to manage the animals.
How about you? When were you at MU? What did you study?

Lost my bloodhound on August 2nd due to cancer. I needed a respite from social cyberspace. Sorry for such a long delay in replying.
No, I do not attend any of the Milwaukee Fests. I lead a rather reclusive life.
Thank you for your condensed bio... :)
