You can't tell the history of the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh without telling the stories of the people who made it what it is. And apparently, you can't tell those stories without a few arguments, interruptions and plenty of laughs.

In Part Two of our conversation at the Belmar clubhouse, we get into the personalities and traditions that helped the organization grow. From its first appearances in the St. Patrick's Day Parade and a family kazoo band organized to aggravate George McCormack, to the unforgettable story of how the Women of Irish Heritage got their start, there's no shortage of memories.

TO LISTEN, PLEASE GO HERE.

We also hear how the club raised money when it barely had any, how friendships stretching from Newark to the Jersey Shore brought new members through the doors, and why George had such a remarkable ability to get everyone else to do the work.
Along the way, Stacy discovers a little more about her uncle, including his humor, his connections and his talent for convincing people to do things they never planned on doing.

It's Irish storytelling at its best, with a few stories that probably wouldn't make the official club history.
