Subject: Happy Saint Patrick's Day Fordham Men!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all Fordham men and women. If you went to Fordham, you become a little Irish whether you like it or not. On this day, I particularly salute Fordham's great Irish basketball stars like Ed Conlin, John Brady, the Lyons, Tommy Sullivan, Danny O'Sullivan, Brian Sheeran, my friend Frank McLaughlin and John Bach( his mom was). I look forward to tonight's the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick Dinner at the Hilton where the featured speakers are both Fordham men, Charles Osgood and the Reverend McShane. Few know that Mr. Osgood changed his name when he left Fordham. No he didn't have a embarassing foreign sounding name, but was Charles Wood at Rose Hill and there was another one in broadcasting, so he took his middle name as his last. Finally, I salute the Fordham Irishmen of the past who did Fordham proud like the young Fordham man who gave his life for his country during the Vietnam War earning the Medai of Honor. His heritage does Fordham credit.

You forgot Vince Lombardi, the Irishman who gave up his front teeth for Fordham against Pitt. What came out of that incident was the famous Lombardi grin. The Pitt game should have been played on St. Patrick's Day. In two days, let's honor all the Joseph's who played for Fordham. (NT) -- The Fish, Thu March 17, 2005 08:44:06
