Howdy JD, how is Georgia in this summer heat?? May I remind you in a most friendly manner, your ancestor was kicked off the McCarthy Building project for not installing toilets or a front door. It was finished by my Troy Boland ancestor, a Mr. CP Boland and his construction company. See below link!! A fine building it is to this day. HOwever you great granddad's list of accomplishments remains most impressive! http://www.archiplanet.org/wiki/McCarthy_Building<http://www.archiplanet.org/wiki/McCarthy_Building> Go Braves!! best, Michael

Hey Squire Michael, Good to hear from you. The riddle has finally been solved. I always said my relative was the Builder and now your story comes to the front and it points out your relative was the Designer. If I understand correctly your relative went on to designing dog houses, soap boxes and match boxes while my relative gave up his house and farm to become the Troy Golf Club. What a coincidence! How is that for a direct strike from a rolling pin right to the temple, ouch!! Moved from beautiful downtown Atlanta to Costa Rica. Its even hotter here. But living healthier. As a matter of fact a deer came out of the woods the other day and licked me. How is the marriage, job the same. email is skinose2@hotmail.com, jd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael McAlonie" <mmcalonie@msn.com> To: <ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 9:44 PM Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] McCarthy Building and MR JE Dollard esquire > > and I have had other people say their greatgrandfathers built the same > buildings, go figure, out! > > Built the McCarthy Building downtown for his friend Mr. McCarthy > > are MY ears ringing??
