1
00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:11.960
We'll start tonight with a report that if Senator Ted Kennedy marches in the St. Patrick's Day

2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:18.160
Parade, President Carter probably will be represented by Vice President Mondale. State

3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:23.320
Treasurer Jerry Cosentino, Illinois Chairman of the Care of the Carter Campaign, has a

4
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.380
date in the White House tomorrow at which time he will invite Mondale to participate

5
00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:41.940
in the parade, not by marching with the dignitaries, but by riding in the Cosentino float. Meanwhile, Ed Brabic, the Chairman of the parade, maintains he has no official word that Kennedy will be marching despite Mayor Burns' invitation.

6
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:54.340
Next Tuesday, and that follows by one day, St. Patrick's Day. That means Chicago's parade is taking on some political overtones. Monday, Mayor Burns said that President Carter would not march in the parade because he is an Irish.

7
00:00:54.340 --> 00:01:00.460
Well this morning the Mayor told a news conference that she invited Mr. Carter, but only after talking with Ted Kennedy.

8
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:54.320
It seems like it was only a year ago when we had St. Patty's Day. And here we go again. And it's a lovely day it is, even though it is colder than a mean old freezing day.

9
00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:08.880
And we start in the Saturday confessional. 88 units dead and buried and gone, thank God. And if I were you I wouldn't be coming downtown. You'd probably sprain your ankle on a beer can.

10
00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:16.280
Francis O'Malley, Channel 7, Eyewitness News. And sober as a judge I might add.

11
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.040
And Frank I don't understand how you could.

12
00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:26.280
As the St. Patrick's Day Queen of 1980, the 19 year old beauty will reign over the annual parade down State Street March 17th.

13
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:33.460
Naturally Mayor Burns will be on hand leading the way, but the Queen gets to ride on an authentic Irish jaunting cart in the celebration.

14
00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:40.640
The Queen also receives more than $5,000 in prizes and awards, including an all expense paid trip to Ireland.

15
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:50.880
We live in cities and the President of the United States has worked to put in place what we call a comprehensive urban program.

16
00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:59.640
It is the most pro-city administration in America. Most mayors in America support us.

17
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:04.920
The solid.

18
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:15.960
Especially if you're a politician and one by one they arrive. Bagpipe band was on hand to escort everybody to the parade after the mass.

19
00:03:16.380 --> 00:03:20.040
The tradition being carried on now for a quarter of a century among Chicago's Irish.

20
00:03:20.540 --> 00:03:28.980
And whether or not those St. Patrick's Day prayers will be answered at the polls tomorrow for today, this day of wearing of the green, the celebrations are guaranteed.

21
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.900
All fighting fires or over to the curb line.

22
00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:48.280
Should have been a great day for Mayor Burns. She's Irish. It's her second wedding anniversary and the man she hopes will be president joined her for the big parade.

23
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.400
It should have been a great day, but it wasn't.

24
00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:57.680
It wasn't just gloomy weather.

25
00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:08.940
Senator Kennedy soon separated himself from the mayor for the rest of the march. His wife, Joan, holding onto him as he shook hands along the roof.

26
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:15.880
Many of those who jeered the mayor wore buttons supporting state Senator Richard Daly's bid for state's attorney.

27
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:20.380
But the mayor's husband seemed at a loss for words about the embarrassment.

28
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.780
Ask him.

29
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:37.920
This man did not get booed. Richard Daly marched in many of St. Patrick's Day parade with his father, but never one so politically satisfying to this anti-administration candidate.

30
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.640
And here is the image of the day.

31
00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:59.500
Now granted, Senator Daly's Bridgeport always turns out in large numbers for this parade and that may explain some of it.

32
00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:03.980
And there were no doubt some disgruntled firefighters along the parade route.

33
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:10.580
But the hard fact is that the mayor and to some extent, Senator Kennedy got the raspberries from a lot of people today.

34
00:05:10.940 --> 00:05:19.300
And that not only may foretell what will happen at the polls tomorrow, but say ominous things about the mayor's political fortunes even in the years ahead.

35
00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:26.340
It was kind of hard to tell, but maybe you can tell us, did he get as many cheers once he separated himself from the mayor and went over to the crowd and started shaking hands?

36
00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:34.340
In my opinion, and I was not there at all at all times, the enthusiasm for him got much greater when he separated from the mayor.

37
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.940
When they were together, there were a lot of booing.

38
00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:50.020
Although there were remarks made along the way, even as he and his wife walked along, remarks concerning Chappaquiddick, concerning what was going to happen to him at the polls tomorrow, derogatory remarks.

39
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.720
Is there any way Mayor Burden can win in all of this?

40
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.400
If her candidates win tomorrow, is that going to be bad for the machine and she'll be criticized if they lose? That's bad for her too.

41
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.720
There's one possibility there. As you know, the state's attorneys race with...

42
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:07.560
The boos were for the Irish mayor, Jane Byrne.

43
00:06:09.380 --> 00:06:13.560
The boos also were for the Irish candidate for president, Senator Edward Kennedy.

44
00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:19.000
Each also got cheers, but at best the reception must be called mixed.

45
00:06:19.780 --> 00:06:27.220
Senator Kennedy did not stay long enough to see number 61 pass, and if he had, he would have heard a mighty cheer.

46
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.900
Mayor Byrne saw, however, young Daly insists that the mayor...

47
00:06:31.900 --> 00:06:36.320
...about who St. Patrick was. He was an Englishman born in Wales, so I suppose he's also a Welshman, right?

48
00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:37.100
Yes.

49
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:43.580
By the way, this story was put together by our own Leprechaun Leonard, and Aaronson, one of our producers here at New City.

50
00:06:43.580 --> 00:06:46.340
Did a wonderful job. Everyone is Irish tomorrow?

51
00:06:46.780 --> 00:06:47.820
Well, most everyone.

52
00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:48.800
Me too.

53
00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:49.320
Aren't you?

54
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:51.440
Sure. Green-eyed girls.

55
00:06:52.780 --> 00:06:59.080
That's our report of news for this Sunday night. Do not forget to tune in tomorrow morning at 11.30 and again at 4.30.

56
00:06:59.700 --> 00:07:00.080
And me?

57
00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.340
Thank you. Good night.

58
00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:02.200


59
00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:07.340
Another supporting her son, Richard Daly, running for state's attorney and opposed by Byrne.

60
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.620
That's why Kennedy is in trouble in Illinois.

61
00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.780
Adding to these troubles is yet another problem.

62
00:07:13.780 --> 00:07:18.760
A lot of Democrats are planning to cross party lines tomorrow and vote for John Anderson.

63
00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:26.280
The traditional parade is not really all that traditional. It started in a big way only in the 1950s.

64
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:35.780
But Richard J. Daly, the man most Chicagoans still associate with the word mayor, made it an annual celebration with a distinctly political flavor.

65
00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:42.780
There may be no solid historical evidence that St. Patrick would always have voted straight Democratic.

66
00:07:43.940 --> 00:07:50.580
But in Chicago, it is almost unthinkable that he might have been a Republican or non-union.

67
00:07:54.700 --> 00:07:56.160
He does fly, doesn't he?

68
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:14.000
Richard J. Daly, Chicago, St. Patrick's High School, very, very famous in the world.

69
00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:18.700
You know, I learned a lot.

70
00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:35.100
John McInney's toast.

71
00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:37.980
Blippi and Doughmeat.

72
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:40.380
Castle.

73
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.400
Well,健i hahahaha, yeah.

74
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.520
Dough Cu 역h.

75
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:55.880
Ready!

76
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.000


77
00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:43.980
of

78
00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:19.260
You really would find Teddy Kennedy preferable to me?

79
00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:19.980
No, I...

80
00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:23.960
When I...

81
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:29.140
Inside this very tall downtown building, the downtown area around the daily civic center

82
00:10:29.140 --> 00:10:33.480
plaza has been roped off as best Chicago police can in downtown Chicago.

83
00:10:34.020 --> 00:10:35.300
I'm Joe Cummings.

84
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:42.620
...three thousand miles away...

85
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:49.080
And according to Mayor Burnett, it looks like it may be Teddy Kennedy leading the St. Patrick's Day parade.

86
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.300
Time now to take a look at what's coming up on Eyewitness News at 6 and for...

87
00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:10.740
...

88
00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.100
...

89
00:12:13.380 --> 00:12:14.780
...

90
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.880
...

91
00:12:17.880 --> 00:12:18.920
...

92
00:12:18.920 --> 00:12:21.540
...

93
00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:23.600
...

94
00:12:29.060 --> 00:12:30.460
...

95
00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:30.560
...

96
00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:31.280
...

97
00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:31.940
...

98
00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:40.360
...

99
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:40.360


100
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:40.900
...

101
00:12:40.900 --> 00:12:40.920
...

102
00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:40.940
...

103
00:12:44.260 --> 00:12:44.820
...

104
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:45.060
...

105
00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:45.340
...

106
00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.960
Yeah, we're just riding.

107
00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:48.540
Now where are you going to head from here?

108
00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:50.280
Oh, we're going to go down here.

109
00:12:50.280 --> 00:12:50.880
Back down.

110
00:12:51.140 --> 00:12:51.360
Just go.

111
00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:53.100
OK, go.

112
00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:54.340
I'm going to have a very good day.

113
00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:54.800
All right.

114
00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:55.780
All right.

115
00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:57.140
Wow.

116
00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:15.340


117
00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:20.320
This is really kind of what we want to do.

118
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:25.240
But all the different spots that you showed me.

119
00:13:28.140 --> 00:13:30.340
Here's the Shamrock American Club.

120
00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.740
Shamrock American Club.

121
00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:34.040
Coming now.

122
00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:47.720
We're too far away.

123
00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:48.720
Too far away.

124
00:14:16.420 --> 00:14:17.540
I'm off and back.

125
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:18.800
I don't know what to do there.

126
00:14:20.180 --> 00:14:22.080
I started with the first year of training.

127
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.160
I used to run the track and racing.

128
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:26.220
Oh, I don't know.

129
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:26.920
I don't know.

130
00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:27.380
I don't know what to do.

131
00:14:28.140 --> 00:14:30.620
I started the first year of my life.

132
00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.020
I'm going to go in the middle.

133
00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:34.960
I'm going to call that one.

134
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:35.640
Oh.

135
00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:37.860
I'm going to go in the middle.

136
00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:38.840
I'm going to go across the street.

137
00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:40.140
All right.

138
00:14:40.760 --> 00:14:41.540
Columbus State.

139
00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:42.300
That's second Monday.

140
00:14:42.640 --> 00:14:43.960
Then Bishop's Day.

141
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.660
That's right.

142
00:14:44.660 --> 00:14:45.160
Yeah.

143
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.520
But when we run that, too.

144
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.360
It's costly, actually.

145
00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:53.660
OK.

146
00:14:53.660 --> 00:14:54.380
Let's go back.

147
00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:55.060
We can pick up.

148
00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:35.220
OK.

149
00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:00.260
OK.

150
00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:36.160
OK.

151
00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:06.140
OK.

152
00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:40.540
I'm on your spot.

153
00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:14.180
Colleen, no matter what kind of a day it is,

154
00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.200
it's going to be like that for us because we've never

155
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.300
been to anyone else.

156
00:18:17.580 --> 00:18:19.540
It wasn't anything but a beautiful Sunday day

157
00:18:19.540 --> 00:18:20.700
on St. Patrick's Day.

158
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:23.980
Because it's what you think about it that really comes.

159
00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:30.620
At the present time, we have 69 floats, 42 bands,

160
00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:35.900
48 marching groups, eight baton units, and 22 special units.

161
00:18:36.280 --> 00:18:38.900
They can be totaled up to 189 units in the parade.

162
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:43.240
So you know, we have to have this much.

163
00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:45.500
So most of the mayor will take care of it next year.

164
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.020
So we cut off the floats.

165
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.420
We cut off the marching units.

166
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.800
And so you couldn't be in.

167
00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:51.980
They'd call the mayor's office.

168
00:18:52.040 --> 00:18:53.620
The mayor would call us to say, put them in.

169
00:18:54.100 --> 00:18:56.320
So one year, it was a little bit chillier than usual.

170
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.460
And he said, that's kind of lengthy.

171
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.100
I said, yeah, but you added 40 units yourself.

172
00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.320
So we never commented on it.

173
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.020
We have most of our marshals, but there's

174
00:19:08.020 --> 00:19:12.100
about less than 10 delinquent float sponsors who have not

175
00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:13.840
let me know who they're going to hear this year.

176
00:19:14.300 --> 00:19:17.100
So if you're within the sound of my voice tonight,

177
00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:21.480
the number to call on the city and suburbs is 386-1974.

178
00:19:22.520 --> 00:19:25.020
Have a wonderful parade day, and thank you.

179
00:19:26.620 --> 00:19:29.340
We have 48 marching units this year.

180
00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:32.140
And one of the things we want to be very, very careful

181
00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:35.160
about this year, the wonderful response we get.

182
00:19:36.040 --> 00:19:37.700
We have a few other surprises that evening.

183
00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:41.040
We have David Cainton, who is a star of the BBC.

184
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.740
He's coming for the award.

185
00:19:45.320 --> 00:19:46.720
BBC Ireland, actually.

186
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.420
In fact, getting over like this, a BBC Belfast.

187
00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:57.040
But he's a very popular guy over there.

188
00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:58.460
And he's going to start the show off.

189
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.060
And we have two little other things going.

190
00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:03.500
And of course, we'll name about 40 of the show.

191
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.120
We have a few presentations to make.

192
00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:06.640
It's going to be a delightful evening.

193
00:20:07.320 --> 00:20:11.440
Bill Smith is our very able and capable dinner chairman.

194
00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:13.920
And if you haven't made any reservations,

195
00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:15.320
there are some available.

196
00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:18.840
And you can call Bill Smith at the Conrad Hill Motel,

197
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.380
and you'll find what a willing and affable fellow he is

198
00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:24.360
when you want to give him money.

199
00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:26.120
Thank you.

200
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.040
I hope you all come.

201
00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:31.640
Seriously, about the Irish Fortnight,

202
00:20:31.780 --> 00:20:35.460
an attempt to bring even more culture to the city of Chicago

203
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:41.160
through the presentation of a series of lectures, dance programs, music.

204
00:20:58.260 --> 00:20:59.840
I don't want to say it ain't chaps,

205
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.700
but when you said it was a small gift, light,

206
00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:03.560
and said you didn't have to say that, we all knew that.

207
00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:07.600
We should be raising more money.

208
00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:09.180
It must have disturbed everybody.

209
00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:13.780
I think if I look around, I can see 20 or 30,000 around,

210
00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:15.860
and I'm going to ask, how are you ready for this?

211
00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:19.420
Last year was the biggest year we ever had with the Africans.

212
00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:22.060
We put in 26,000.

213
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:23.900
And the printing cost is six,

214
00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:26.560
and then at 20, the print cost is 24.

215
00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:28.460
So we were a little short.

216
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.360
224 pages long, and the income is $38,000 right now.

217
00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:41.040
Maybe some of this $38,000 after we go for that.

218
00:21:42.020 --> 00:21:44.320
We have four sponsors.

219
00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:49.260
The plumbing council is taking the adjacencies, the opening spot,

220
00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:53.640
the middle spot at the station break, and then the final spot.

221
00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:56.160
Irish Airlines is taking half.

222
00:21:56.800 --> 00:21:59.060
Stanley Dawson-Catalyke is taking the quarter,

223
00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:01.020
and the whole federal is taking the quarter.

224
00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:02.900
We were able to come out of California,

225
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.820
and you'd be surprised, even though I've been around for a long time,

226
00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:08.400
I do get nervous.

227
00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:11.620
And especially for anybody who's nervous,

228
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:18.160
and I would be surely nervous if I was close to the queen and the standards.

229
00:22:20.840 --> 00:22:23.060
My dad is getting old.

230
00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:29.140
I feel the other night.

231
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:35.260
We're so fortunate that these people, that in 1955,

232
00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:40.400
they and their mother led this parade on the west side.

233
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.160
And they were the men of the night, and they were absolutely there.

234
00:22:44.260 --> 00:22:46.640
And this year, they're going to the end.

235
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:49.640
We're going to the end.

236
00:22:52.760 --> 00:22:54.300
We're going to the end.

237
00:22:56.100 --> 00:22:57.660
We're going to the end.

238
00:22:57.660 --> 00:22:57.680
We're going to the end.

239
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:57.700
We're going to the end.

240
00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:00.600
We're going to the end.

241
00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:03.100
We're going to the end.

242
00:23:03.340 --> 00:23:07.780
We're going to the end.

243
00:23:08.580 --> 00:23:13.640
We're going to the end.

244
00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:26.820
We're going to the end.

245
00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:43.080
We're going to the end.

246
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:43.120
We're going to the end.

247
00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:43.140
We're going to the end.

248
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.140


249
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.140


250
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.140


251
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.140


252
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.220
We're going to the end.

253
00:24:10.020 --> 00:24:12.960
We're going to the end.

254
00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:42.980
We're going to the end.

255
00:24:48.860 --> 00:24:51.660
Thank you.

256
00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:20.260
Thank you.

257
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:45.280
I'm going to the end.

258
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:17.220
I want people to like me.

259
00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:21.440
I want only children in my team.

260
00:26:21.860 --> 00:26:23.420
Young people.

261
00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:27.560
With sick, hump, rube, gravy.

262
00:26:28.560 --> 00:26:30.720
All kinds of young people.

263
00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:32.020
But young people.

264
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.160
I love them because of the look in their eyes.

265
00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:42.080
In my heaven, there will be only five-year-old eyes,

266
00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:48.100
for I know nothing more beautiful than a pure eye with a shot.

267
00:26:49.780 --> 00:26:54.560
Now I hope that all the friendly sons and daughters of Aaron

268
00:26:54.560 --> 00:27:00.860
are indeed friendly and won't mind me quoting this French poet

269
00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:02.580
on St. Patrick's Day.

270
00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:07.120
After all, we have no particular authority

271
00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:10.960
that Patrick spent some time there himself.

272
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.980
When I thought of this day at a cave,

273
00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:19.620
my mind went naturally towards the light.

274
00:27:20.820 --> 00:27:28.200
Fereced in my memory is a man with a bright green snap-brimmed hat,

275
00:27:28.600 --> 00:27:33.580
carrying a slayer, moving swiftly towards the parade.

276
00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:37.840
And his eyes are twinkling bright,

277
00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:43.580
looking out at the wonder of light and thrilled by it.

278
00:27:44.260 --> 00:27:47.620
They are the eyes of a young man.

279
00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:53.560
Race, religion, cause, he has won the parade.

280
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:59.140
Mary Daly was part of a countless number of young men.

281
00:27:59.340 --> 00:28:01.060
If the truth were known,

282
00:28:01.060 --> 00:28:05.180
he was probably the instigator, the initiator,

283
00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:07.460
or even the organizer of many.

284
00:28:08.580 --> 00:28:12.660
He wanted people to be proud of their art,

285
00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:17.300
as he was proud of his kids.

286
00:28:18.340 --> 00:28:22.960
He wanted people to celebrate together as a family.

287
00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:27.240
What more economical way than in a parade?

288
00:28:28.060 --> 00:28:31.440
Rich and poor are brought together as one,

289
00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:35.280
so long as they have the pie in the middle.

290
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.240
He wanted people to love their city as he loved it,

291
00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:45.740
to take pride in it, and build it into an even better city

292
00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:49.620
for those children standing alongside the parade group,

293
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.780
the ones who would grow up one day to march in the parade.

294
00:28:54.780 --> 00:28:57.660
And yes, even the leaders.

295
00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:04.360
How does a person keep that beautiful spark of light and enthusiasm?

296
00:29:06.540 --> 00:29:09.960
Mary Daly never had to receive it,

297
00:29:10.780 --> 00:29:13.200
because he was in love.

298
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.840
He was in love with his wonderful wife,

299
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.840
his sons and daughters, his grand children.

300
00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:25.140
He was in love with his parents and his forefathers,

301
00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:30.180
who had sacrificed so much to give him special opportunities.

302
00:29:31.380 --> 00:29:35.600
He was in love with many of you, his friends.

303
00:29:36.820 --> 00:29:40.520
He was in love with the city of his Chicago.

304
00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:46.120
To put it most simply, he was in love with life.

305
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:53.560
His faith helped him to keep that joyful gaze on life.

306
00:29:54.820 --> 00:30:00.940
Come, let us praise the Lord joyfully, we read in the psalm.

307
00:30:01.280 --> 00:30:03.220
He did just that.

308
00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:07.880
Come, let us kneel in front of our Lord and make him,

309
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.880
for this is our God, and we are his keepers.

310
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:16.040
He was just that comfort with God.

311
00:30:17.060 --> 00:30:24.280
It is a great trait and a special grace to be comfortable in the presence of God.

312
00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:31.160
One verse of the breastplate of St. Patrick reads like this.

313
00:30:32.300 --> 00:30:40.540
I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and heal.

314
00:30:41.540 --> 00:30:49.400
His eye to watch, his mouth to stay, his ear to partner to my knee,

315
00:30:50.340 --> 00:30:58.840
the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward,

316
00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:07.600
the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly hope to feed.

317
00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:13.520
The words are sacred, yehudah.

318
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.980
Amen.

319
00:31:26.580 --> 00:31:31.200
Blessed be the one who gave the word of God to my friends.

320
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.200


321
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.160
Prayer number three.

322
00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:42.440
Amen.

323
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:01.200


324
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:00.800
Amen.

325
00:33:29.780 --> 00:33:31.180
Amen.

326
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:31.440
Thank you, Mr.

327
00:33:34.300 --> 00:33:38.280
He told us what he wanted and we're going to continue the parade the same way.

328
00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:39.180
For how long?

329
00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:44.460
As long as I'm around, I'm sure, as long as the 314 members of the parade committee,

330
00:33:44.520 --> 00:33:45.760
and they're all very active.

331
00:33:46.780 --> 00:33:50.280
So you're saying St. Patrick's Day in Chicago isn't going to change just our daily lives?

332
00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:52.020
St. Patrick's Day won't change a bit.

333
00:33:52.620 --> 00:33:54.620
It'll get better in the mayor's memory.

334
00:33:56.540 --> 00:33:57.400
Okay, thank you, Dan.

335
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.940
Thank you.

336
00:33:58.100 --> 00:33:59.160
Danny, Mary, like...

337
00:34:09.620 --> 00:34:11.020
Thank you.
