Why I'm Irish

This is my grandpa, Walter Charles Sullivan.  I'm to the left in the picture, my little sister Jennie is on the right.  A few generations back Grandpa's descendants came from Ireland and when they did they changed the name from O'Sullivan to Sullivan to make a brand new start in America.  Grandpa loved St. Patrick's Day and I do too. 

My other sister's name is Patsy Colleen and my brother's name is Mike. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day from this Irish girl.                         Diane
