I was not aware of his mother's lineage and that connection to Scotland. I read his mother returned often and spoke Gaelic. Looks as though she married below her station to someone, we now know was a monster. My aunt came to America from Finland but not to escape poverty. She was adventurous and her sister followed. She worked for the wealthiest family in NYC at the time from age 16 thru to her 80's more family (but knew her place and was very discreet) than servant. I remember she would always tell me that "the best class is the middle class" in America. She witnessed enough to speak on some authority. Today, we have lost the middle class. It is gone and we are not going back.
Hey, we gave you his mother. We have nothing to be proud about in this regard!
