My Mother's Deep Irish Voice

When I was the Business Manager of the Plumbers Local 5, the Finance Secretary, George Bliss, would answer the phone when I was out to visit jobs, settle complaints, and handle Union Business.

One day when I was out, my Mom with her deep Irish voice called the office. The Finance Secretary thought it was a man, so Mom let him know she was the Business Manager's mother. George Bliss told her he was sorry to have made that mistake.

Mom had a nice deep voice and sometimes people would say "Johnny, you have a nice soft voice." So this is a nice story for the Irish.
