Linda and I marched with the Carbon County Labor Chapter contingent in the Jim Thorpe parade today. We wore our shirts that said “Proud To Be Irish, Proud To Be Union”, carried a banner honoring the Molly Maguires, were accompanied by Sandy who played the role of Mother Jones, passed out candy to the kids, and pretty much froze to death before the parade ended.
The problem with being in a parade is that you don’t really get to SEE the parade, but I’m sure it was fun for the people along the route. I do wish to thank those spectators who treated the marchers to shots of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey. What kind people the Irish are.
