Nick Kirwan, Stanford's BIG GAME QB
Nicholas Pierce Kirwan, aka "Nick" Kirwan attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, California and played 3 years Varsity for Coach "Pop" Warner as one of his Quarterbacks. He played for Stanford for their very first Rose Bowl appearance against Notre Dame, and was second string to the great Ernie Nevers. Ernie almost won that game for Stanford with two broken ankles, and my grandfather sat rapt and ready on the bench, but Ernie played a very fine game despite the loss.
Date & Place: at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California USA

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
