Stephen Daly
Details: I took part in Stephen Garvey's production of the Country Girl in the Town Hall , Castlebar in 1944. This was a most popular musical comedy which featured most of the society of Castlebar of that era. It was a musical comedy first produced in Daly's Theatre , London in 1902, the year the Boer War ended in South Africa.. Those people in Castlebar who took part in Stephen's production of 1944 will I am sure remember most of the hit tunes of that Musical Comedy. Stephen Garvey produced the musical " The Belle of New York" in 1945. I gave commentaries on the various Carnival acts in 1946 and '47such as the Real Rudis of Austria" (plunging from on high into a small tank of flames in the Military Barracks and the " Dirt Track Riders from Australia" which enlivened the crowds who flocked to where the 3rd level Institute of Education is now. The work for our Transition Year of 1944 was emptying lorry loads of turf into railway wagons at Castlebar Railway Station from 8am to 6pm to keep the home fires of Dublin burning. We had to go for the rehearsals of the musical comedies in the town hall after work. After drinking pints of cider in Buckos we were fit to dance all the half sets which every Ceili featured in the Town Hall. Memories of Castlebar of this era were" plastic to receive and marble to retain"

Edward T. Graney
Comments: Another month passes. April at last. The Resurrection, whereby we were all saved, is upon us again. Merely wish to visit and say, Happy Easter to all my friends and relatives in Castlebar. Especially the John Burkes, P.J. Burkes and Marley families. Oh, was showing my son your web site. And, he being a national sports reporter in the United States, he was happy to read of all the sports represented by Castlebar. And, as he just got back from 'covering' the Final Four college basketball championship for the United States, he was happy to see that Castlebar has basketball enthusiasts galore, and championship teams themselves, as well. Your web site is becoming world famous, as many have asked me here in the States if I know of your city. Seems, as represented, you have the finest site in Ireland, as all who asked go to www. Castlebar.ie everyday, as I do. God bless all in this Easter Season, and not to worry about anything - for in life we never see a rose without a thorn.

Comments: Perhaps the most interesting Irish website I have ever encountered. Congratulations! I easily found your "Castlebar Links" and launched into an e-mail frenzy when I located my family name on it. Your school pages were fascinating and no doubt instill a feeling of great pride in your students! Loved your webcam but saw no "Irish traffic jams". Disappointed... My only regret is in not visiting your beautiful town while in Ireland this past year! Thanks a million for your hard work! What a tribute!

Edward T. Graney
Comments: Was just thinking, and had to share the thought with my friends in Castlebar. Truely, I have too much time on my hands, and, seeing that I visit this site everyday, here goes: Not to 'lighten' the seriousness of the Hoof and Mouth disease, but the situation reminds me of our American (U.S.) politicians - they always have their foot in their mouths. Yet, finally, after eight years, we have morality and ethics back in the White House. Pray for us, please. And hello again to the Burke families and Marley family of Castlebar. God bless you all.

Comments: Must be somewhat of an "omen," this lovely city of Castlebar. Relatives by marriage, John, P.J. Burke and Mary Marley living in Castlebar, and now the Aladdin production highlighted. For my youngest, now a National sports writer, was in the play Aladdin many years ago, here in Laguna Beach, California. He played the lead as Aladdin, yet at Children's Theater. Nothing so prestious, although, as your production, but nonetheless another link, so to speak, with your wonderful community. This is my "hi" stop this month. Hope you don't get tired of me. God bless all in Castlebar and, indeed, in all of Ireland.

Comments: A Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year in 2001 to all on McHale Road, especially: The Halligans at #7, The Halligans at #21, The Redmonds at #33, The Quinns at #35, The Redmonds at #17, the Devanneys on Garryduff Drive, The Feeneys in Milebush, and all my other relatives and friends. We are having quite a "white" Christmas this year with lots of snow here in Ontario, Canada. We will be thinking of all of our friends in Castlebar this Christmas as we sit around the Christmas dinner table with a nice fire burning in the fireplace. All the very best to one and all.

Must send this recently written poem as my gift at Christmastime to Castlebar. If I may. My Ireland. A mystical land, always true, an Isle of Leprechaun. Oh, so few. Where hearth and heart are entwined to warm the lives of me and you. The birds of Spring toll melodius tunes far all to hear aside life's gloom. It's Irish hearts that shine the way, for all to wonder thru the day - then pray. The lilth of laughter sounding clear, to all that listen throughout the year - is heralded near and far, like Northern Star. Her people hard through 700 hundred years, because of British rule, stand tall as when in bondage, never to play nor be the fool. As life came down to Dublin Town, the Viking capital still, to say the rule of heart was never a tart, a sin upon the hill. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Would like to take this avenue to send my fondest and most sorrowful regrets to Mary Marley and P.J. Burke of Castlebar on the death of their saintly mother, Mary Burke, nee Fahey ,on December 2nd, of Ballinrobe, County Mayo. Mary Burke, my wife's sister, left widowed with five children ro raise, was the purest example of Irishness it has ever been my pleasure to have met.

I am looking for help locating a town or hamlet that I got off a tomb stone, here in America and I am also seeking Thomas and Mary Henry. I have had no luck. It reads from Balindrum, County Mayo, Ireland. Someone said the land registries in Castlebar might know. Is there a address that someone might know.

Tne last post noticed as I visit this web site everyday, is a page last written on it November 6 to stay. So I use my sense of wonderlust and think of a poem to say the lonliness of almost a month reminds one of the poem by James Joyce about a house with nobody in it. One stanza says, This house on the road to Suffern needs a dozen panes of glass,And somebody ought to weed the walk and take a scythe to the grass.It needs new paint and shingles, and the vines should be trimmed and tied; But what it needs the most of all is some people living inside. So I'm here once again to make sure this ideal page is not without a pen or two or three. Hope I'm not making a (Yankee) ass of myself. God bless all in Castlebar.

Author travels world writing on Cathedrals. Ever major cathedral he visits has a gold telephone with a sign on it, reading, $25,000- Direct line to God. He finally gets to Castlebar, goes into the church and sees the same type telephone with a sign reading, 25p- Direct line to God. Hey, he says to the priest, "Telephones the world over in cathedrals read $25,000 to talk to God." The priest smiles, puts his arms around the author and says, "From Castlebar its a local call." Had to share this quip with my Castlebar friends. God bless all.

I taught in St. Geralds College and in St. Patricks N.S in 1947. I left for Drogheda in 1948 where I taught for 15 years and in 1960 for Dublin where I taught for another 30 years. I co-founded St. Brigids Drama Group in Drogheda in 1949 and 10 years later I founded Irish Teacher Projects which opened up the United States to thousands of Irish teachers from all levels of the profession. It is now known as ITP Travel Ltd which operates worldwide bringing groups to China,Australia,South America. Last Summer we went to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, as well as Peru and Bolivia. This coming Easter we go to Jordan, and the E.U. whilst in July we go to New Zealand and Korea, plus Peru and Indochina again. I cut turf in Rahins bog, sold milk in Castlebar and saved hay in Snugboro!!

Have spent time everyday for the past six months visiting this site, and once again must say you are the finest of all Irish web sites in the system. Although parochial in nature, you allow for exploration to other Irish entities, including the whole of the great County of Mayo. In future a direct chat room for all interested in Irish and world politics. etc. would be a good added attraction, I would think. Althought that is your business. Assuredly, I would enjoy such an addition, seeing that most of my relatives were from Mayo and Sligo. Anyway, here's the best to The Best. God's speed and His help in all future endeavors.

I just retruned from a trip to England/Ireland with my wife Frances. We spent some time in Ireland. Left Dublin and drove down through Waterford, Cobh (a lovely town) and on into Killarney and on up to the best town in Ireland, Castlebar. Spent four lovely days there from September20th. thru 23rd with my family, Marty & Breege Halligan at #7 McHale Road. Also visited my brother John & his wife Patsy at #21 McHale Road, sister Breege Redmond and husband Vinny at #33 McHale Road, sister Julia Quinn and husband Kevin at #35 McHale Road. Visited the Upper Crust on main street and sampled some of their delicious cream cakes and chocolate eclairs..mmmmmm. I posed a question to Mr. Johnny Mee as to what was the name of the Castlebar river. I have always known it to be called The Castlebar River but Johnny in his infinite wisdom informs me that the actual name of the river is "The Shore River". Does anyone there have any further comments on this or is Johnny Mee correct? Got some very good deals on Irish sweaters at the Tweed Centre on Main Street, Castlebar, also on an Irish Team soccer shirt at Stauntons on Main Street. The receipients of these items here in Canada were thrilled. Thanks to the staff of both shops there, they were great. Cannot wait to get back to good ole Castlebar again as soon as possible. Hello to all my friends and relatives in the town.

As I was reading the otherday, I came upon a poem by the young American poet, considered to be the finest religious poet we have ever produced. His name was Joyce Kilmer, as most school children know - it was he who wrote "Trees." Joyce Kilmer was killed in the lst World War, in l9l8, in France. Among his poems was a beauty called Easter Week. The last lines I must share with you.

"Romantic Ireland is not old.
For years untold her youth shall shine.
Her heart is fed on heavenly bread,
The blood of martyers is her wine."

One can go to the "web" and write in Poets, as an inquiry, and then hit on Joyce Kilmer and copy all his poems. Thank you for allowing me to share this lovable man's (short) work with you. (Aside - he converted to Catholism when he married his wife, Aline Murray. They had four children.)
