As the world celebrates St. Patrick’s Day, our favorite Irish-American, Matt Lamb, celebrates his family’s Irish heritage.

Matt’s daughter, Sheila Lamb Gabler, and Julie McNally, board member of the Dali-Lamb Museum, recently met with Irish leaders in Chicago and talked with them about the museum, Matt’s artwork, and his tireless efforts to promote world peace.

One event was held at the showplace of the future Dali-Lamb Museum, while the other, the 109th Annual St. Patrick's Day Dinner, was held at the Hilton Hotel.

In the following photos you will see Sheila and Julie—along with Sheila’s husband Joe Gabler and daughter Rose Lamb Gabler—posing with dignitaries including the mayors of Cork and Galway, Ireland, as well as with Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, and Frances Cardinal George, the Cardinal of Chicago.

Among other topics, Sheila and the visiting dignitaries discussed the possibility of opening one or more Matt Lamb Museums in Ireland.

We will keep you posted as events unfold.

Happy St. Patty’s Day, everyone!
