Cliffs of Moher
Okay, so we are a few days late. Still drinking the
green beer!
Cousin Charlie Hawkes sent me an Irish joke and said
he was thinking about Dad on St. Patrick’s Day and missing him.
So, here are a few pictures from Dad’s trip to
Ireland in 1982 that I was lucky enough to tag along with the bunch he called 'The Traveling Angels':
Dad and the 'Leprechaun King' at
Cliffs of Moher
Dad
at Tara, with the Lia Fail, or
Coronation
Stone of Tara
Dad with The Traveling Angels
and the Coffees, far
flung cousins!
Driving along the Ring of Kerry
Mom
and Dad in front of Kinsella’s Bar in Ferns,
Where
Dermot is buried
Dermot's Grave in Ferns, Ireland--April 1982
Dad, Beth, Dan, Pat and Florence
And Charlie’s Joke:
For my favorite Irish uncle:
Two Irishmen walked out of a bar...........
...........well, it COULD happen.
-Charlie
Thanks, Charlie, for the memories of Dad, and the laughter as I think of him.
