It's St. Patrick's Day, of course.
And, all day on OnMilwaukee.com you'll see and read coverage of the craziness that has become this annual day of all things Irish.
As Milwaukeeans celebrate, there's one more reason to raise that green pint. It's Michael Cudahy's 85th birthday.
Cudahy, of course, has transitioned from entrepreneurship to philanthropy throughout his legendary Milwaukee life. Not just standard philanthropy, but big-time Milwaukee stuff like the Milwaukee Art Museum gardens, IMAX, The Pabst Theater, Riverside Theater, Historic Turner Hall and Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin. He's also one of the creative idea guys behind the coming soon, new rail transportation system for greater Downtown Milwaukee.
Since it's his birthday, I wanted to revisit a 2002 lunch I had with Cudahy. Please enjoy my interview with him here and let's all remember to sing "Happy Birthday" to a great, civic-minded Milwaukeean, Michael Cudahy. Cheers!

Talk about a man who can relate to the average person. Michael Cudahy seems to be a reasonable, rational man who understands he has been fortunate and gives back. He and the Jane Bradley's of this city deserve our respect and admiration. Thanks Michael and Happy belated Birthday!

Having worked for the guy's former company for 11 years, I can say he was the best employer I ever had. I was a worker drone, not a suit. I looked forward to going to work everyday, I worked in a great environment and was treated respectfully. Few can say all of these things about their jobs these days. Try to learn a little more about the guy before you trashtalk about him.

Enjoy your gift called The Pabst Theatre. The land alone wishes you at least a million.
