Graduation Day
Sometimes I feel very old….. My boyeens who featured here so often on their many trips to the Kingdom are all grown up. Here they are with their emotional parents as they finish secondary school and prepare to head out on a new adventure.

McCrohan’s of 15 Main Street
This is the Kennedy home today. It was here that the last of the Listowel McCrohan’s spent his last days in the care of Dr. Johnny Walsh.
This is how it looked in 1983 when Tim and Karen visited Listowel.
No. 15 Main Street is where the McCrohan family lived.
This is how No 15 looks today.
It was Larkin’s in 1983
Look at how much more beautiful it is now, embellished by the superb paintwork of Martin Chute.
