A touch of Ireland | press-citizen.com | Iowa City Press Citizen: "The Irish Gaelic alphabet has only 18 letters in it, with 'J,' 'K,' Q,' 'V,' 'W,' 'X,' Y,' and 'Z' not included, Robin Slater told a group of Regina Elementary students Friday morning.

'If your name is J.J., you don't have a name,' he joked.

The introduction to the Gaelic language was part of the presentation by Slater and his wife, Dearbhail Finnegan of Irish Kaleidoscope. Natives of County Meath in Ireland, the couple stopped at Regina Elementary for the day to teach students about the culture, dance and language of Ireland as part of the Cultural Kaleidoscope, which is based in Kansas City, Mo."
