I thought I had said so in this thread but maybe not..anyway I met him when I was probably 7 or 8..my father said this is Pat Blessington and he was on the Titanic..he might have well as said he was on the space shuttle..I had no idea what the Titanic was..I was an ignorant little child...but anyway, it was shocking to meet him because I just instinctively knew he was a very powerful and great man somehow..just an usher in the church..one of many fine men..but there was something outstanding about him. He was working in his yard when I met him.. mg
