Mary Pat Kelly Galway Bay Book

Effingham, you called out to me literally. In March your name was our guide on the map we used when we drove through an ice storm to Terre Haute and the Woods. No sooner did I get there than I received an email from Sheila in Effingham, Illinois. So now we are on our way to an event at the Effingham Library courtesy of Sheila, her daughter and Catherine, the librarian who (ready) is from Derry!!! I'm sure we met there when she was with the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. She worked with Patsy O' Kane whose hotel Beech Hill Country House is my favorite place to stay in Ireland. Happy synchronicities Galway Bay moments. Providence! A great day and again wonderful family stories from those attending.
