Hi,
Pete Mooney (St. John) is my cousin and I too remember going to one of the great Christmas do's at his father's house in Lavarna Grove, Terenure. His father, our Uncle Tommy, was a manager at Fords of Ireland, I think. He drove a new Ford Corsair when I met him in 1963. I was well impressed as a 15 year old lad!
After his travels around North America, Pete has been back in Dublin for a good few years now.
Sadly his wife, Sue Mooney, died last week.
   A previous poster here, Maureen, said she is related. Well, I guess she must be related to me too!
