His name is Patrick and he is Irish, no one better to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day. Patrick Mullady and his wife, Betty, take in a St. Pat party at Vancrest on Thursday afternoon. The couple has been married 66 years. They have celebrated many St. Patrick’s Days together. Vancrest residents, who were decked out in green for the occasion, watched a group of pharmacy students dance. (No clogging was evident.) Earlier, the residents enjoyed an Irish lunch and trivia game about Ireland. St. Patrick is the foremost patron saint of Ireland, having died on March 17, 461 AD. (Monty Siekerman photo)
