John Thanks for the inquiry. I lived in Westwood from 1969 -1975 and served as Pastor of Westwood Lutheran Church, LCA. During the "Busing" era. Loved my time there. I did not intend to make light of your name or e-mail but was trying to add some humor to the deciphering. No offense intended. Congrats on your University Teaching career. I taught at Sinclair Community College -part-time. I had and have a lot of old friends that worked at WPAFB. Of course some have passed. But I always enjoy reunions with friends there. I am amazed that Jack Sweeney from Palmer PA. never heard of Charles F. Kettering. But then I cannot find Palmer PA on any map so we are probably even - on this issue only - because he and Ray Marshall are the Irish Gentry on this list. I do have to agree that Robin Williams ranks very high on the comedic list. I am researching James Conway -- and cannot yet determine if he came from Clare or Kerry and Margaret Hastings from Kilkee, Co., Clare whose mother was a Collins. I am back to 1820s but stopped by personal time at the moment. Thanks for asking.

I goofed it up somehow. Anyway, I've lived here for 30 years and am retired from WPAFB. When were you here & what did you do?

Off I-70 to the south and about 50 miles from the Indiana state line and about 70 miles north of Cincinnati. It has a very fine University -- the University of Dayton. A some distant past they were a formidable basketball powerhouse. Just very good teams now. The city is home to NCR --previously known as National Cash Register. Also home to a fine Carillon Park and museum with bicycle shop and original car display. Some historical figure named Kettering had significant influence there. (you are permitted a laugh here). More laughs can be obtained however by listening and watching one of Dayton's favorite sons -- Jonathan Winters. As to biermajw@notes.udayton.edu --- the 'bier' I am familiar with has to do with funerals. The 'maj' is used in some centers of "HIGHER" learning to designate what one intends to learn more and more about less and less -- a Major -- in arts, science, social studies etc., the "w" is a symbol for the word 'with'. Now you know how little I know about anything.

Back from a well earned vacation and roaring to get back to the Kerry List and be of some help or at least pointing guidance towards someone who can actually be of assistance. I usually pick Ray Marshall, he's got nothing to do but pop pills and drink cheap Italian wine for his gout. It's like trying to hold back the tide. Pity that. Love, Jack Sweeney, in very wet and noisey Palmer, Pennsylvania where there's one hell of a thunder storm going on right now. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-KERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-KERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message=
