Dear friends of Beara, List member Steve Sullivan <[email protected]> has some pictures to share with us. He tried to send them to the list, but Rootsweb doesn't allow that, so they were bounced to me. With Steve's permission, I've placed them on the Children of Beara website where you may view them at http://bearaschildren.blogspot.com/2012/11/three-new-pictures-our-friend-steve.html Here's the text of the message Steve sent: For those Beara Listers who have not had the privilege of meeting Riobard O'Dwyer, attached are three pictures: (Note that the three pictures are not attached, but are visible at the website address I gave above. BG) 1. Riobard playing his accordion in his Eyeries home 2. A plaque at the Urhan School honoring Riobard (forty one years teaching) 3. A picture of Eyeries looking southwest over Coulagh Bay toward Urhan and Allihies. Unfortunately I did not get a good picture of Riobard's wife, Saint Joan. Many years ago, while in Dublin, I visited the Irish genealogical society. As soon as the genealogist heard that my family was from the Beara Pennisula, she said "oh you should talk with Riobard O'Dwyer, he has the most complete and accurate records for that area". Riobard is truly a legend in his own time; teacher, athlete, musician, genealogist, historian, story teller, mentor, plus many many other accomplishments. If you plan to stay near Eyeries, may I recommend a very nice B&B, Formanes House. Steve Sullivan Seer/Croumhane Stevensville, Montana Saratoga, California -- Bill
