It Has Never Been Better Than It
Is Today
J. Barry O'Connell Jr. Pictures
from The Later Years
I am constantly amazed at how
wonderful and exciting life is. God has blessed me with a bounty of
treasures but the greatest treasures of all are my family. My sons are
my gift from God. They are good boys and a joy to me. There is no doubt
that I am living in an age of miracles. God is making all my dreams
come true.

Maxwell Taylor O'Connell (at 4
years old)
I named Max after General
Maxwell Taylor. I like the name and anyone who can get fired as the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff by Eisenhower and then brought
back into the White House under Kennedy can't be all bad. Max is a big
help to me with RugNotes.

Michael Collins O'Connell (at 9 months)
I named Mickey after the Irish General Michael
Collins. The brits may call Collins a terrorist but his strategy of
maximizing enemy casualties while minimizing collateral damage is
inspirational. He was another who understood that peace without freedom
is slavery.
