And somewhere in my distant past is some Ojibwe. My mother's folk were all
Irish (her name was Cavanagh). My dad is French-Canadian, but his people,
living in Minnesota a for a few generations, never mentioned the Canadian
part except in the naming of one of their towns: Little Canada.
A lady once asked my grandfather, "Mr. Ethier, is it true that you are part
Indian?" He replied, "Find me a Frenchman who isn't!"
Oh, and about the Beatles song: The man who "blew his mind out in a car"
was in a blue Elan. An he WAS from the House of Lords.
