This was the scene at the 44th annual Greenwich St. Patrick’s Parade sponsored by the Greenwich Hibernian Association. The Parade was led by Grand Marshal, Pat (Mary Patricia) Wilson. The Parade started when Detective Kyle O’Neill of the Greenwich Police Department blew the ceremonial whistle. His great-grandfather came from County Tyrone, Ireland and his great-grandmother was from Cork, Ireland. Troops representing the Irish Naval Service Reserve marched in the parade as well as bagpipe bands, marching bands and more than thirty community organizations, schools, police and fire departments and Irish Dance groups. To see more photos from the parade, see page B8. (John Ferris Robben photo)
