Dedication 2011 – Kevin Martin Burns

The 55th Annual Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade
is fondly dedicated to the memory of:

Kevin Martin Burns

1943-2009

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

-Robert Frost

“May St. Patrick watch over you”
