Comments from Chris

Early on I mentioned Robert was Catholic. Robert's grandfather immigrated to the United States in 1852 from Cork County Ireland. He brought with him a tradition of Irish Catholic faith and passed it down from one generation to the next. 

The Catholic church back at Robert's home in Cairo is still there as its been since 1894.
