Yes Max the area has changed dramatically. The death of John Connolly left me with some everlasting memories. " The Boston Strangler" starring Tony Curtis? was showing in the County Cinema and some of us ( u18s) had managed to sneak in despite Willie Ainsworth`s vigilance.John was killed by a car as he walked home from the cinema. I also recall Bro. Flavian as he wept uncontrolably at the funeral. John was the youngest of the family. His older brother was *major* Connolly.
Powie got extensive coverage some months ago. He was Tony Lynch`s ( Kilkelly T.V) uncle. Murrisk posted a classic Powie snap from the early 60s on this board.
