John,
Thanks for the reminder to send pix.
Sandy and I returned last month from an anniversary (49th) trip to Ireland, mostly to look up the native environs of my maternal grandmother, Florence McCullough, who emigrated from Armagh to Philadelphia at age 12 with her parents in 1898.
We traveled all around Northern Ireland and the Republic, however.
The photo is of me with a busker on a street in Dublin. Maybe the golden "M" in the background stands for McCullough, eh?
Pete
The golden "M" in Dublin is for the clan McDonald's.
A busker is a street performer who does his bit for tips, such as the guy next to Pete pretending to be caught in heavy winds, as you'll see when you click on the headline for the photos.
Pete & wife Sandy live in the St. Augustine, Florida area, where they settled after returning to the USA in 2007 for Sandy's quintuple bypass open-heart surgery. They were in Mongolia for 13 years.
Both taught college English as a foreign language in Zuunmod, Mongolia, a provincial capital city of 20,000. Sandy was director of the college and Pete edited and published a newsletter for American ex-patriate English teachers in Mongolia. They sponsored a kindergarten class for orphans and disadvanted children.
Pete was the BJ's religion writer and foremost expert on evangelist Rex Humbard. Among his BJ roles, Pete succeeded icon Tom Ryan on the Barberton beat.
