Portrait of a Child-Editor in 1980s’ Moneygall – The Museum of Childhood Ireland Many young boys in the 1980s enjoyed doing newspaper rounds. I did too, but with a slight twist—I decided to do the newspaper as well!

Yep.
I stop there from time to time.
I was one of the lucky c.3000 in the crowd that was on the streets of #moneygall during Obamas visit in 2011.

He shook hands with Everyone in the crowd that day. And michelle too.

I got both handshakes and a radient smile.
