As anyone can see, Irish immigrants and Irish Americans have made important and lasting contributions to this nation, state, and the city of Albuquerque. They add much to the diversity of Albuquerque, and we are indebted to the people in this book who have ensured that the culture and traditions of Ireland are kept alive. The gifts Ireland has given to this nation and to the city of Albuquerque are immeasurable, and everyone can benefit from learning more about the lives and experiences of this diverse group of people in our nation.
