Thanks for sharing this true American story. This would make a great prologue to an Anthology of American formation & heartache. I look forward to our next conversation.

It is indeed. Not sure I've got the mettle they had ... I guess, though, when you don't have a choice, you do what you have to do.

Not a movie I have heard of but that isn't surprising there are a lot of movies I haven't heard off but it does sound interesting

Saint Cabrini was a model for today “if it needs to be done for a sustainable peaceful, world then do it”. And if you have time go to PeacePodcast.org and learn from my guests what we can do to work for peace and end war today. Yesterday’s podcast honoring the Oscar for peacemakers had over 200 views in 10 hours. Love your post Joyce!!

Thanks for talking about Cabrini. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

My husband's grandmother came from Ireland in the 1800's through Ellis Island, finally arriving in Indiana. The longer they stayed on the boat, the lower the fee because they served as ballast for the boat.

Heather ... thanks for sharing that about the fee ... I have never heard that before. Paid ballast. It's amazing what people went through to get to a better life ... and are still going through.
