I'm quite proud of it, and I tell everyone :p I just find him so interesting, and I am always doing research on him. When I was little, my father, Kevin Morrissey would tell me a myth about him that he learned. About how John had the Saratoga gambling house built and he stole money from it and went back to Ireland. He buried it and died a week later. He knew it wasn't true, but he things its interesting. Just thought I'd give my two cents.
