Subject: RE: Who are the oldest surviving Mudcatters?
Fair dues to you Uncle Dave. Your 74 - the same age as my twins.

And you know old timers - what we have is the good memories which nobody can take from us. Especially the musical memories

God be good to the times when Maggie Burke used to sing in the Parish Hall in Bohola (Co, Mayo). That is before she became more famous and took to Opera singing as Margaret Burke Sheridan. But she was always good for a blast of a song when she came on the holidays. And it is she who could raise the rafters. She told us how she missed the ou' turf fire out there in Milan.

Now, Maggie had an older brother, Peter ( a fellow with a rovin' eye in them days). He hiked off to America early on.Would anyone know what became of him ?
