Description
In 2004, I began meeting with John Ross to learn Irish Gaelic. We continued to meet weekly for the next 18 years for several hours of study and conversation – in the Irish, of course. This was more than learning a language of my heritage; this became a deep dive into the Irish (and Celtic) culture, as well as the sharing of a great love for the Irish.
