Re: For charlie hannah
Hi Charlie, on the photo we all sailed on the FRANCONIA together in 1956. a great crowd, nothing but laughs everyday. I was dragging a coffin with Paddy, with a 20 stone woman inside down the working allyway, She was Heavy, we sat on the coffin for a ciggy and I fell asleep on it, Paddy said I was the only man he knew who could do that.
He died in January, I was in Hawaii or I would have been at the funeral.
He was Charlie Connolly`s [ of the Cameo Murder case, who we cleared later in Court] brother in law.
Give us a shout if you come over.
Cheers
Brian
