The Kilroy redemption: From prisoner to government lawyer | White House Chronicle 9045

November 19, 2017 by

Noah Kilroy’s life was following a usual story line: Abandoned at birth by a drug-addicted mother, shuffled from foster home to foster home in Rhode Island, dropped out of high school, and served time for various drug felonies between the ages of 16 and 23.

And its twist happened because of a book he read during his Florida incarceration.

Irish Exceptionalism — They Punch Above Their Weight

The Irish punch above their weight. That is why worldwide, on March 17, people who don’t have a platelet of Irish blood and who have never thought of visiting the island of Ireland joyously celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. That day may or may not have been when St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, died in the 5th century. The […]
