John T. Mulqueen-Even if it was a Thursday afternoon- boast away. You've a right.

Just read the Irish Echo Newspaper. There is going to be a movie bio. of James Connolly-the workingman's hero. He was my Father's hero too.

One of the best trips my late husband & I had was around "83. We took my Dad back to Eire-he had left there 60 years before. We covered alot - but for him the most touching was a courtyard in Kilmainham jail where Connolly was tied to a chair & executed. He was unable to stand because the beatings he endured broke his leg. Of course many others met their fate in that place. I put Kilmainham & Gettysburg as the most reverential sites I've seen.
