My twin pal was Bobby Sands' cell mate, around that time, I will send him an email and see if we can get him in on this thread. He would likely know.
Cheers Larry
PS As to MP Sands' cell mate, We look so much alike, I used to get lifted all the time for looking like him, and thought it was my own radical looks, until his siter mistook me for him... One of my favorite memories of his, re: Sands... my friend tried to sleep through his five year sentence. Bobby kept waking him up, to teach him to play chess with pieces molded out of bread, to speak Irish, to learn all he had not a chance to learn, saying to him, this is such a opportunity to be here, this is the first time in your life no one expects anything of your time. He was a remarkable man and a great loss to Ireland.
