    Among my favorite memories celebrating my Irish heritage growing up on the Bronx was going with my family to the St Patrick’s Parade as a child, marching in the parade the four years I went to Aquinas High School, and the annual Feish at Fordham
    University. My fondest memory is what a special day St Patrick’s Day was for our family and still is. Most of all I remember my mother’s best in the world Irish soda bread and delicious colcannon and all the wonderful Irish people.
    Happy St Patrick’s Day!
