It started with a unexpected invitation to Ireland, and a seventeen year old letter. My brother-in-law was renting a cottage in Adare, and asked Maureen and I to come and spend a week. We had been to Ireland back in 2000 on a tour. My mother’s cousin Joe and his wife Mary were living in Moyvane, County Kerry. My parents had visited them back in 1974. My mother gave me a letter Mary had written to her with Mary’s phone number. I called back then and spoke to Joe while we were on a tour stop. But we weren’t able to get away to visit them. Fortunately, I saved the letter.
