San Francisco | Anti-WarIrish Raging Grannies at Demo
St. Patrick's Day of March 17 hadn't yet ended for these Irishmen who met up with the Raging Grannies at 4th Anniversary Demo March 18 In hopes that we'd meet some charming Irishmen along the march, the Grannies prepared a special sign AND this special song!
The Irish Peacemaker Tune: The Irish Washerwoman By Granny Gail Conroy-Sredanovic We put on our white gloves and pick up our banners We’re well informed women with pretty good manners But when we see suffering and cru-el injustice That’s when you’ll see that we kick up a fuss We sing out for peace and we sing for war’s ending Our voices are not always perfectly blending We trade on our image as credible sages To bring you a message of peace for our age
§Group pose!
Once we found these Irish fellows (or should I say, they found us) we had to pose for a photo!
Who needs internet dating when you've got Peace Marches?
In the foreground, Patrick Fahey, Granny friend and mandolin player! Behind him, another Patrick whom we rescued from the cops. That wasn't an open bottle of beer in that paper bag was it, Patrick #2?
These gals came from Modesto with their mom. Not Irish.

We Raging Grannies of Irish desent were so encouraged to see the California Irish Forum advocating for peace in the Chronicle prior to St. Patrick's Day. We were thrilled to greet new Irish friends as they marched in the San Francisco peace rally
St. Patrick was a man of peace and tolerance and the recent Irish experience has shown the value of diplomacy and negotiation even in seemingly impossible situations. Gail Conroy-Sredanovic |
