A little girl, a potato and the President

There was a glimmer of hope but, alas, it was not to be. It ends up that U.S. President Barack Obama is not Bob Brehl’s long lost cousin.

A long-anticipated trip to Ireland, researching ancestors, a poignant story about children playing with a potato, even the name Barack Obama, all eventually led me to pondering the plight of Syrian refugees and the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace.
