Let him bask in the light of that knowledge during his golden years,he deserves it.I hope he lives to be 100 years old!

I would like to add to my last statement posted, I had always heard through that "family grapevine" ...that Patricia's mother was from Ireland, so it wasnt that big of a deal to hear of Irish house guests, However that unsetteling situation regarding the car salesman will always remain.. Patty Jo Martin,

Some of these groups have a reach into America; even into law enforcement. They deal mostly in con games but are dangerous people to run afoul of. If one of their own was involved in this, it may account for some of the questions. One constant in crime research is to look for anything happening justn beforehand that was out of the ordinary- having houseguests from Ireland would be, I would think.

I said yes, and then my uncle spoke up and told the car salesman that Veach's East Side Fish Market was family owned, in part by our family, and also her family...the car salesman responded to all of us that her death was a terrible tragedy, and we all agreed..we decided against a car purchase that day...I found the car salesmans statement to be unsetteling, I thought it was unprofessional of him and odd timing, and I was un easy because he looked at me when he asked that question...I know it has been a'long time since I had this encounter with this Irish car salesman, but as I said earlier, it was an unsetteling moment..
