Loetz Website

Alan –

I was reading some promotional material for Julia’s and came across a reference to this web site – www.loetz.com. I don’t think this web site has been around all that long and I thought you might let the readers of the Gazette know of its existence.

PS If you look at the Acknowledgments section under About Loetz.com, you will see some familiar names.

St. Patrick’s Day Correction

It’s ST. PADDY NOT ST.PATTY. SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET.

Small correction . . . As a sign prominently-posted in the Dublin Airport, March 17, 2014, clearly reminds All:

Any reference to “St. Patty’s Day” is quite incorrect. “Patty” is the nickname for a female, usually named “Patricia.”

Since “St. Patrick” was a male person, only the shortened “St. Paddy’s Day” would be acceptable for “St. Patrick’s Day.”
