Dear Vi, Your heirloom watch is indeed a wonderful treasure to have, but from my standpoint you are the incomparable treasure to all of us Fermanagh golders. I love your memories that you so generously share with us. You have given me a sense of life in Northern Ireland that nothing else could have done. Thank you!
