Happy St. Patrick's Day

Waterford Ireland

In 1915 my grandfather Ralph Lee, grandmother Annie and their 4 children William, Louise, George and Elizabeth traveled to Liverpool England and boarded a ship called The St Louis and left their home in Ireland behind. Eight years later my father Ralph was born in Baltimore Md. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I salute my Irish roots. I never met my grandfather but my grandmother was a good strong woman and I miss her. Some day I will make it to Ireland and I will visit Waterford, my grandfather’s birthplace and Londondarry my grandmother’s Birthplace. A toast to all the Irish and to all those who wish they were!!
