I went to a pig killing at Jim Murphy's house when I did my internship with State Senator Jess Present. Good times.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic ! Thank you so much for this blog I just discovered today. The Harringtons you mention are my ancestors -- Joel Harrington is my great-grandfather and I was named for him. --Joel (and yes Henry is Joel's younger brother)
