Wallin and Library Director Bonnie Adams made their monthly visit to the seniors at Prairie Meadows to talk about St. Pat's Day. We told jokes and toasts, talked about legends and superstitions. When the seniors were asked who were Irish just one spoke up and two said they were orange Irish not green, the rest were of Scandinavian decent. Most seniors present did know the difference between green and orange Irish. I explained to the others that green represents catholics and orange represents protestants which in Ireland is a big distinction.
Everyone enjoyed the program and the green ribbons handed out.
