I get ya Ron, but as you know, my kids are Navajo. My daughter is a Head Start teacher (early childhood development). The kids have Navajo language as part of their studies.
I, myself, am a first generation non Gaelic speaker. My mother felt it would just make us stand out, when we came to the States. It's a shame, I wish I was able to speak Irish Gaelic, it might have taken me down a different path in Life....
