That is written by my Aunt Breda , who died before I was born.
Her sister my mother Helena Mc Carthy – married name Eileen Dooley, is nearly 97 yrs old and passing last few days in a nursing home. My mother had a very difficult life, but her eyes smoke and float over when she speaks of Durrus. I wonder could I possibly get an official copy of my aunt Breda’s essay, so I could show it to me Mam.
Thank you in advance Christine Dooley.
