Two American men of a particular generation and Irish ancestry only four years apart in age:
each recently has known death of an adult son;
one, now, is President of United States and is concerned about our nation’s global status, particularly competition with China;
the other looks toward downsizing his material possessions including dinner china which is not a family heirloom but was purchased by him from Ireland.
The older of the two was born in Tulsa where his family lived (and just north of the city) 100 years ago. His maternal grandfather was killed in a mine while his mother was in utero, his paternal grandmother descended from an Arkansas Confederate soldier, and his paternal step-grandfather (the half-brother, business partner, and man “like a father” to his father) descended from a Union soldier killed while on leave visiting family in Nashville.
