I'm in the fairly common WASP category--some mix of English, Irish, German, & maybe a little Dutch. An Irish forebear (who kept a journal) came to America just before the American Revolution & fought on the American side, technically making me, I suppose, a Daughter of the American Revolution, although I have never followed up. A favorite family story involves my maternal German grandma, who chased her daughters (difficult, at best!) around the farmyard w/ a butcher knife. My temper is, generally, under better control.

Duane is a mix of English, Irish, & Lithuanian. Musically, he leans toward his Irish grandfather.
