*I'm afraid my contrbution to Beara re. my young days around Ardgroom, etc.,has been put on hold for the moment ** . My good wife broke her ankle in two places and was doctor-wise in Cork City, and, on top of that, I have been in trouble with a virus picked up somewhere, and, as President of Beara G.A.A., I had to miss my first ever meeting of the Beara Board* recently due to being in Cork City* doctor-bound *. It broke my heart having to miss it, because the G.A.A. (as well as athletics) has been a big part of my sporting life over the years. *I suppose that is what I get for giving away the womens' ages in my genealogical research !!* A man can't have it every way ---- but I hope to be back in action in a small way when the snow clears away. I hope all of you are safe and well. *----* Riobard
