This year the grand marshall is His Eminence. the Cardinal Archbishop of the city of New York John OConnor. who has always watched the parade from the steps of St. Patricks Cathedral. Now he will proudly and fittingly lead it down Fifth Avenue this year as he approaches possible retirement. Many of the Irish who emigrated to America. first either landed in New York City. or made it their home. or in the nearby suburbs. I was recently surprised to learn that the current Irish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs. Dick Spring. once tended bar in the great city of New York before his return to Ireland and rise to high authority.
