As March comes to a close I wanted to share my favorite picture of the month. My Aunt Vera with the McInerney Dancers. For 29 years my family has hosted a post parade party following the Worcester St. Patrick’s Day Parade. In addition to the camaraderie and Irish music the McInerney Irish Step Dancers performance is a special part of the day. My mother Cathy and her sister Vera were championship Irish step dancers in the 1950’s competing throughout New England. They would often watch the dancers and share stories of their step dancing travels and competitions. These memories gave all in our family insight into their experiences growing up in Worcester during that era and being the children of immigrants. Lessons and experiences we will not forget and while today’s immigrants may be from different countries and have different last names the vast majority come to the United States for the same reasons. The freedom to work hard and take care of their families so that their children will have something better. The American Dream !🇺🇸

Enjoyed interviewing my City Council colleague Joff Smith during my time as Mayor. In addition to his financial advisory business he has launched a new business to help companies and their employees understand their benefit options using technology and artificial intelligence. An interesting interview.
