About Max Kennedy

He met his wife in Aspen, Colorado, and proposed near the Cliffs of Moher, on Ireland's west coast. It was a beautiful ecumenical wedding at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul., being that Victoria was from a Jewish family. Father Gerard Creedon presided, and Mrs. Norman Cohn offered a Hebrew prayer at the reception.
