My father died on August 28, 2012. He would have been 91 on September 3. 

I am Scotch-Irish (or some prefer Scottish-Irish), descending back to three Alcorn brothers who lived in Belfast long ago. There are indications the three brothers came from Scotland.

My father was the most resistant person to the gospel I’ve ever known. He warned me never to talk to him again about “that religious stuff.”
