Meet Pete Ford-2008 Irish Way Counselor

Hey everybody! My name is Pete Ford and I am one of the Irish Way Counselors this summer. I am twenty-two years old and I just finished college with honors with a degree in English. I am originally from Pennsylvania and have just moved back from Chatham, NJ. I grew up in a family of Irish dancers and competed for several years before hanging up my kilt. My dancing technique of late has been refered to as "foolish," "laughable," "embarrassingly heartfelt." I play a whole bunch of instruments, but I am primarily a banjo and guitar player. I will be teaching a workshop on Irish-American music and hopefully get some creative writing activities in there too. I went on the program in 2002 and cried when I got back to the states. I probably don't need to bring that up. Well, I cannot wait to meet everybody because this is going to be an amazing trip.
