Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My Great Grandpa, Jack Nevin, was 100% Irish and he was born and raised in NYC (just like me). His parents came over from Ireland their family lived in the basement of Old St. Patrick's church at one point because they were so poor. My Great, Great Grandma Nevin cleaned rooms at the Plaza and she was a die hard Yankees fan. She was a fiery, pint-sized, red-head who managed to make a small fortune in the stock market. Mommy and her brothers looked forward to her visits to Chicago because she would hug Mommy and then quietly slip her a whole twenty dollar bill.
