Listowel Vocational School trip to Killarney in 1961 continued


On the right is Patsy O’Sullivan and beside him is Dick Fitzgerald

This student is a bit of a mystery. Maureen remembers him as Bertie but that’s all.

This photo was taken in Tralee on the way to Killarney.  We need a bit of help here to identify the girl on the far left and the girl standing a little in front of the others second from right. The other girls are Eileen Buckley, 4th Rita Finucane-Moyvane, 5th  Maura O Sullivan-Ballylongford, 6th ?, 7. Kathleen Buckley-Keylod,Moyvane.



4 girls with bus behind them at Ladies View, Eileen Buckley (don’t know from where), Maura O’Sullivan from Lenamore, Ballylongford, Maureen Barrett, Ballylongford(me) and Kathleen Buckley-Keylod, Moyvane

So Proud




These are my twin grandsons with their new neighbours.

 Why am I so proud?

Because they are pictured walking a section of the Camino de Santiago. They walked 15 kilometers. The walk was an organized one with pit stops, drinks, cake and bands. Well done boys!

They are only 9.

This is Upper William Street today. The Buckley home is between Lawlees (in yellow) and Mike the Pies.

Now to a story sent to me by Joseph A. Boyle, a great-grandson of Lar Buckley

Lar’s great grandson, Joseph A. Boyle, Esq. of Basking Ridge, New Jersey has been selected to be included in the 2011 Irish Legal 100, which is a publication comprising some of the most accomplished and distinguished attorneys of Irish descent nationwide. Joe will be attending the awards dinner in Washington, DC on October 13th at the residence of the Irish Ambassador to the United States, M.E. Collins.  Joe’s mother Regina is a granddaughter of Lar.  Joe is married to Jennifer and they have two children Jessica and Charles.  He lives in the same neighborhood in Basking Ridge as John Carpenter author of a recent Listowel Connection posting about Regina’s sister, and John’s mother, the late Mary Elizabeth Carpenter.

Thank you, Joseph and congratulations.
