Hey there! Miss me?

I’ve been working hard to get things out of the house to the Butte Archives– lots of history here, especially as it relates to the history of the Irish in Butte. Ken and I waded through boxes and drawers, braved attics (yes, more than one!), spiders and dust to sort through all the ephemera. None of it was organized, but most of it was very interesting. The Archives took away 17 banker’s boxes on Tuesday, and there’s still more to do- they brought ten more empty boxes….

I also hosted Eamonn and Vivien De Burca from Dublin to appraise some of Sars’ general Irish books and we had a great visit. It’s also the An Ri’ Ra’ Irish Festival here, so lots going on.

Breathe, Greg. Breathe.
