Yes - the 5 sisters talk often but a few years ago they included me and my sister once a month. They all wrote down your name! NYC cousin had gone to TCD alumni event w head of TCD library - I want to ask her about it. I am not on LinkedIn, FB, etc so I can't easily search.
Interesting moment... older sisters (boarding school etc) asked youngest 2 (village school) about an Irish word.
Also, I told them about this week's #thatWordChat (Kory Stamper talking about new book).
