Irish Lassie Plans When She Returns Home to Ireland

The late Mickey Vernon was a frequent visitor to the Society's Hatboro Museum. On the day he was in signing his Hartland figurines we had a very interesting visit from a lassie all the way from Ireland. Ms Beth Mccullagh of Omaga County, Tyrone stopped in to view the Museum artifacts. What we did not know that day & learned when she returned recently for a second visit is that Beth plans to open a PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SHOPPE on her return to Ireland AND decorate the walls with artifacts of the Athletics, Phillies& Connie Mack she picked up in the Society's Museum on both visits. In her conversation with the Society's Mike Fesnak, she lamented, if I recall Mr. Mack's real name was McGillicuddy and he too was of Irish heritage. Just goes to prove that even though the Athletics left Philadelphia more than 50 years ago, the dynasty that Mack built still survives...all the way across the Atlantic Ocean...(Cheese steak anyone????)
