Journaling reads:
"I was named after my paternal grandmother, Mary Catherine Lahey, whom I never met (she died about 6 years before I was born).
As a child, I didn’t always like my name. Indeed, when I was four years old, I asked my mother if I could register for kindergarten as “just plain Mary” rather than as Mary Catherine. But while my mother agreed to my request, when it came time to register, I found I couldn’t part with the “Catherine;” and I’ve been Mary Catherine (but with the nicknames of “Mary Cath,” “Mary Kate,” or “MC”) ever since.
I’m glad that my father (in typical Irish Catholic fashion) named me after his mother: it has given me a real sense of connection to the grandmother I never knew."
