Pat & Shirley
Tinneny & Boys Go North
In
March 2007 Patrick Tinneny of Cassatt, South Carolina and
his wife Shirley took their sons John and Gavin to
Philadelphia for the first time. Pat, the son of Rich and
Lee Tinneny, was born in the Philippines. Pat is the
great-great grandson of
Yankee Pat Tinneny of Goladuff, Co.
Fermanagh, Ireland. They also spent several days in the
Washington area as house guests of Jim and Wanda Gardner and
saw many sites including Ford’s Theatre where President
Lincoln was shot, the White House, the new United States Marine
Corps Museum and the Vietnam Memorial to name a few. In
Philadelphia they visited the Philadelphia Museum of art and
its famous statue of Rocky, City Hall and Independence Hall
and the Liberty Bell. While there they stayed with Pat’s
Grandmother Helen Tinneny on River Road in Philadelphia.
They had a chance to see many cousins. Here are some of the
photos of the trip courtesy of Pat and Shirley:
