Born and raised in Mallow, Co. Cork, Ireland.
Mary has been running her own clinic in Binningen for over 30 years and has no intention to retire anytime soon.
Her father (1903 - 1992) was a dentist. Her mother (1912 - 2004) ran a stationery shop in Mallow. Both her parents were ardent catholics. Five of her uncles were catholic priests.
But Mary is an independent thinker who does not believe in rules and ideologies. She has always been open to new ideas and is a passionate reader and movie addict.
She takes great interest in her work and adores people. Her communication skills are unbeatable.
As a young woman she hitchhiked to Greece with a girlfriend to be a grape picker for a season, and in 1972 she hitchhiked for six months through Canada and the United States with me.
We started off in New York and made it all the way up to Fairbanks, Alaska. Then we hitchhiked down to San Diego. There we bought a motorcycle and rode to Miami.
In Florida we sold the bike and took a bus to Toronto, thus completing the circle of our pilgrimage. |
