He was much like Ross. I believe it to be fitting to post this in memory of him, as well. Though he died at an older age, and not in Vietnam, he, too, served in that hellish war. He received a Purple Heart, and was incredibly devoted to this Country and those who serve, past and present. <br /> When we lose people, such as Jim, another light goes out. We are compelled to remember those that served in wartime, and beyond. When we fail to do so, we make the mistake of repeating history, again.<br />Yes, Jim, was a friend of mine.<br />~ We Remember James Connor.

She was the childhood sweetheart, and for a very short time, the wife of Joseph Mary Plunkett. Also, of Ireland. Joseph was a Poet and a Patriot. He was the youngest signatory of the Proclamation of 1916. As such, he was sentenced to death, along with other Rebels. He was shot in Kilmainham jail, in Dublin, on 4 May, 1916, in the early hours of the morning. Seven hours, before he was shot, Grace Gifford and a Priest, were brought into Kilmainham. In a small Chapel, inside the jail, Joseph Plunkett and Grace were joined as husband and wife. They were allowed about fifteen minutes together, under supervision, after the ceremony. - These minutes were all the married life they would share. If you ever visit Kilmainham jail, there is a small placque, to the right of the Alter, commemorating their marriage. Though she was young, Grace would never remarry. She died in 1969, whilst living with two other older women, in Dublin. Though this is a very sad song, and story; it remains a vital part of Irish History and her people - being kept alive by Grace (Gifford) Plunkett, until her death in 1969, and beyond...<br />~ Beannaichte' <br /> Alicia O'Hara Beannaichte's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426870709110368912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831920253792282578.post-15625646110081933772014-06-10T20:49:59.758-05:002014-06-10T20:49:59.758-05:00~ PATRICIA MONAGHAN was Professor of Interdiscipl...~ PATRICIA MONAGHAN was Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at De Paul University, Chicago.

She was eighty - six years of age. Her body of work as a poet, writer, performer, teacher, and director, is both vast and widely acclaimed.

Simply, she will not be forgotten. Her "Voice" will continue to resound through her work and the wonderful memories that remain, to be passed on to future generations.
