Thread Name: Obit: Gregory Peck
Subject: RE: Obit: Gregory Peck
Apologies. In my posting of June 12th, I said that Gregory was a distant relation of Austin Stack. I meant Thomas Ashe (faulty memory). Ashe (1885 - 1917) died in Mountjoy jail when he was forcibly fed while on hunger strike. He was the author of the beautiful poem "Let Me Carry Your Cross for Ireland, Lord."
