President
Clinton Proud of His Fermanagh Roots
Boasts about
Roslea Photo
Washington, D.C., March 18, 1998 -- President Clinton is all
excited about having a photo of his family's original residence in
Roslea. "I have a
photo of the house in Roslea," he told Kinawley-born Fr. Sean
McManus.
Fr. McManus spoke with President Clinton at the St. Patrick's Day
Luncheon on Capitol Hill, hosted by the Speaker of the House, Newt
Gingrich.
"The president was all excited about the photo," said
Fr. McManus. "I
reminded him that Cassidy -- his mother's name -- is a Fermanagh name,
and that Fermanagh was claiming him as
one of their own. He was very happy to be so claimed. He is clearly delighted with his Irish roots."
