Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph article dated March 13, 1963 partially reads, "A touch of old Ireland comes to the Robert S. O'Neill home in North Hollywood each year. The family always celebrates St. Patrick's Day by giving a neighborhood dinner and party. 'And we make it as Irish as possible,' Mrs. O'Neill said, 'from decorations to the food.' The O'Neills, native Californians, started the tradition because of their Irish ancestry. (Mrs. O'Neill's maiden name was Patterson)." Photograph caption reads, "Maureen, Dennis want to help make stew - Mrs. O'Neill has the ingredients together." See images 00154889 through 00154891 for all photos in this series.
