Joseph McBride Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Vince, thank you again for the major work you have done on the Secret Service aspects of the plot, some of the most important and illuminating research on the case. BTW, the RTE did a wonderful documentary on JFK's Irish trip, JOHN F. KENNEDY IN THE ISLAND OF DREAMS, released in the US on VHS as JFK IN IRELAND. My Irish wife, Dr. Ruth O'Hara, at age two years and ten months in June 1963, was upset her parents didn't take her with them to the Dublin motorcade, so she insisted they drive to Galway so they could see him in Eyre Square on June 29. He gave a memorable speech there. She thought he was an imposter because she had only seen him on black-and-white TV, and the man she saw speaking had auburn hair. It is haunting that he said in his speech, "So I must say that though other days may not be so bright as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those in which we visited you here in Ireland." I've visited Eyre Square a couple of times to see the site of the speech. The home of Nora Barnacle (James Joyce's wife) is nearby, as is the Spanish Arch.

Very moving. Thanks, Joseph, for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
