Upon the Mahedy family arrival to NYC, John & his elder sons initially found work as stone cutters/masons on St Patrick's Church - not the famous 5th Ave cathedral. This tradition came to Dan Touse via Zora Butler & May McKay. This church has recently been in the news as the church that Jackie Kennedy attended and where John F. Kennedy, Jr's memorial service was held.
