She said: "Aye, Paddy, what was your toast?"
So he told her: "Here's to spending the rest of my life sitting in church beside me wife."

American meteorologist, inventor and astronomer, who as America's first professional meteorologist is regarded as the “father of the U.S. Weather Bureau” (later renamed the National Weather Service).
