Springtime Boston 2020 is like no other in recent history. The trees on Boston streets continue to bloom and the birds sing but there is no traffic (and no need for ‘blinkahs’ ) as we humans “cocoon” at home in response to Covid-19 … away from the ceilis, the live music, the tunes and the songs…all that gives us life and joy. In response to and in the spirit of resiliency, we celebrate technology which connects us.
On behalf of the RHC Board, Tara Lynch, Frank Kennedy, Michael Hickey, Barbara Davis, John Kearney, Tom Crean and myself, we extend to all of you our wish for a happy hope filled Easter.
Slainte mhor agus a h-uile beannachd duibh
Good health and every good blessing to you!
