I first met Packie in 1972, in Cornwall and at Loughborough. When I was shut out of my accommodation in London he let me stay with him and took me around to Bill and Helen Leader's (where I bought about a dozen records).
Then in 1990, we parked our campervan at his house in Ardara and had a wonderful night at Oliver's Bar.
We also treasure our copy of Recollections of a Donegal Man.
Thank you Packie.
Have a great birthday.
Love from Robyn, Mitch and Katrina in New Zealand.
