Daniel is a unique person indeed.
Growing up on the farm, I remember him to be at times very funny and other times very serious.
He certainly was the trail blazer for those of us younger than him, especially at a time when it was quite unusual in rural Ireland to seek higher education.
Daniel decided he wanted to become a doctor.
This was indeed a very bold and courageous decision, especially for one coming from a strictly agrarian society in the late 1940'. This was indeed a very bold and courageous decision, especially for one coming from a strictly agrarian society in the late 1940'.
Not only did he accomplish this but ended up training at the Mayo Clinic, one of the most prestigious centers in the world.
All family members following him, became professionals.
On both sides of the Atlantic, we all owe him a lot.
If it were not for your father (and my brother) Daniel, I would probably be growing potatoes in Ireland.
