Randy Valparaiso recently had an emergency appendectomy, something to do with the social dinner? No, just a coincidence! Randy is doing great and is looking forward to joining us at the March meeting.
Helen Gross is hanging tough. I am sure that cards and calls would be welcomed! A few of us had a nice visit and lunch with Helen a couple of weeks ago.

*The shamrock was a sacred plant in ancient Ire-land, because it was a symbol of rebirth. During Ireland's struggle for freedom from the English, the Celts wore the shamrock in a silent protest. From there, as knowledge of the shamrock grew, it even-tually became a symbol of Ireland itself. Lepre-chauns, another popular symbol on St. Patrick's Day, was based on an Irish belief in "lobaircin," small people they believed were magical. It was never part of St. Patrick's Day.
*A common myth associated with St. Patrick's Day is the driving out of the snakes of Ireland. The leg-end is that St. Patrick drove the snakes into the sea. In reality, Ireland never had any snakes. His-tory.com explains that the story is based on the fact that St. Patrick banished pagan beliefs to con-vert the country to Christianity. The snakes were the pagans, but in passing the story down, the meaning was accidentally changed to real snakes. That is why you see snakes in the celebrations even though it is a myth.
