Make mine a Guiness...

Well, I missed St. Patrick's Day here. Hope yours was good.

One noteable news item with an Ireland tie-in.

Steelers owner is Ireland nominee

6-time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney has been selected to be U.S. ambassador to Ireland by President Barack Obama.







My dad went school with the Rooney boys, North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh and St. Vincent's College in Latrobe. I believe Art Jr. was in dad's class and Dan was a couple years

ahead.

UPDATE:

Well wouldn't you know it. First post after a long layoff and kinda I blow it. The Rooney's went to North Catholic, but only Art Jr. went on to St. Vincent's. Dan went to Duquesne.
