This episode is dedicated to the memory of Sean's Aunt and Bill's mother-in-law  Marie Murphy. Aunt Marie was very proud of being Irish-Catholic and along with her husband Jim Murphy, brought over children from the North of Ireland. I would often listen to Aunt Marie talk to my father about the troubles in Ireland. She was very dedicated to the Catholic faith. We dedicate this episode to her hope for peace in Ireland.
