"WHEN IRISH EYES are smiling..." Irish hands are apt to be holding a glass of something fermented, and perhaps even distilled. In the case of the three smiling Sons of Erin above, the liquid is green beer, and the occasion is a traditional party hosted by Tom Conlin and Bob Collins (left and center above), this year joined by Dr. Dave Middleton (right), a former Detroit Lions defensive back. The "St. Pat's Party" took place Friday at the Ann Arbor Inn. Erin Go Bragh! (Staff photo by Larry E. Wright)
