Hi Stow, Welcome.  I am Karen's Dad's sister.....now maybe we will get her to post more often.

p.s.    I will have to go and check out these photos.

Then you must also know Eleanor Maguire and Pauline. Do you know of anyway I can get in touch with any of them. We lost touch about 20 yrs ago. I had the biggest crush on Terry McCartan (the son) but my granny use to tell me to stay away from him because he was bad. (lol) My Uncle Felix still lives on River Terr. I will have to call my uncle gusty and tell him I was talking to you. Did you get to see him when he was home?
