They are farmers, living just south of Dublin, begora (if that's how it's spelled). My Episcopalian friends can consider themselves whatever they want to. I'll still love them just the same. One of my brothers is married to a Lutheran, and she and her family are wonderful. The people we met when their baby girl, Caitlyn (Irish for Kathleen, pronounced Catch-leen in Ireland, Kate-lynn in America), was baptised in the Lutheran church were also wonderful. Contrary to popular belief, Andrews is an Irish name. It started as Andre in France. We got kicked out. Then went to England. We got kicked out. Then somewhere in the 1500's (?) went to Ireland. Ah home! We've been kicked out of some of Europe's finest countries - and we ended up in the best. All Irish are humble - God's greatest gift to us. And it is true that a wee bit 'o Heaven fell to the earth and they called it Ireland. God Bless, Mike (begora) Andrews -- ******************************************************************************* God says He is always with us, and will not leave us. ******************************************************************************* ARPA : fluke!ptl@uw-beaver.ARPA UUCP : {uw-beaver, sun, allegra, sb6, lbl-csam}!fluke!ptl
