Happy St. Patrick's Day to all collectSPACE members around the world. As we are writing this astronaut Dan Tani is Grand Marshal for the St. Patricks Day Parade in Cork, Ireland. Every good wish.

Yes indeed, Happy St. Patrick's Day to the world and those flying high above it!
My "younger" brother's 51st birthday! He is "SO" old, I tell him every chance I get!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all on this great site, and especially to all we have had the pleasure of getting to meet over the years. A little disappointed not to be in Brevard Co. to meet Jim Reilly but looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in May.

I would also like to wish all you guys on collectSPACE a very happy St. Patrick's Day.
Just about to head down for the local parade now.
Hopefully some year I'll be able to spend Paddy's Day over in the States because even our parade in Dublin is flimsy compared to the show you guys put on in the States.

Jim Irwin, who took a shamrock to the Moon, would have been 80 today. One of my greatest "space experiences" was to meet Colonel Irwin in Downpatrick (where St. Patrick is buried) in 1983. In 2003, a day after what would have been his 73rd birthday, I was able to pay my respects at his grave in Arlington cemetery.
