U.s. Founding fathers

I haven't been able to find anything about Deanna Kerrigan. By your own admission you are guessing about her background and motives. Perhaps it's your irrational dislike of Irish-Catholics which are leading you to your conclusions?

I married one (to the disgust of my Orange father)!

On a personal note, MMI, I want to say that, while I have always enjoyed history, especially military history, I was never that well read on more than the basics of the American Revolution. Your posts have been education in themselves and have certainly inspired me to do additional research into areas I hadn't even known existed. Thanks for that.

Same here - although I previously had little interest in history. Thanks to you, to den, to stealth and everyone else who has joined in from time to time.

But don't think I'm gonna stop arguing over it now ...

I knew there was a reason for it!

I might have married an Irish girl, Thorne, but I still support The Rangers. So maybe that gene is there, after all ... yes, I think you're right ...

Ahh! I've been a Ranger fan since Eddie Giacomin played in goal, without a mask or all of the padding modern tenders wear!

Actually, Thorne, I meant I still support Glasgow Rangers

I can't make any connection between the New York Rangers (or even the Detroit Red Socks) and my marrying an Irish girl and pissing off my father

Once called my dad a "dirty Englishman" during a face to face argument. I was prepared so the instantaneous punch failed to land. And no I did not hit him!
