I stand corrected, and relieved, and happy for my dear friend, Leonnie. She IS Irish!

Here’s proof:

“Hey Sam,

Just thought I’d let you know that I have Irish blood!!!!!!! I thought that you would have guessed that easy!

My great grandfather was Irish – Paddy Purcell!!! (and boy did he have the old Irish temper to go with his name.)

So you see, that’s why I have such a great personality and sense of humour. I’ve got some green blood in me. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!!!

See ya,
Leonnie.”
