Great Solemnity

March 18, 1973, Appleton Post-Crescent
It was a grand old time for the Irish in 1873 per this detailed article.  Festive marches, impassioned speeches, and appearances from Irish societies from all over the valley punctuated the day.  Even the temperance societies got into the act...can you believe belonging to something called the Total Abstinence Society?  Nevertheless, a good time was had by all.  Here's to a great St. Patrick's Day for you all.  I know this is a challenging time, but I know you'll make the best of it.
