This Blog is about Remembering Dundalk in the 1930's,40's and 50's. I grew up there and then. If you'll pull up a chair and listen. I'll spin a yarn of people places and things. This blog will be on going story so I would start reading the oldest blogs first. Read it regularly and you will experience the writing of a book. Please send in your comments I will except them as critiques to be used to improve the quality of the writing. It will be published when finished.

Now, the "Skipjack Sunday" collection of digitally restored Images, and the story behind their restoration, is now showing in its own online gallery. Additionally, limited edition fine art prints are available directly from the web site.

Of Mooncursers and other SpunYarns
"Mooncursers" takes place near "Baltimore Maryland," during the early part of WWII. A story of two boys, each battling his own devils. Both are strengthened through adventure and the overcomming of self imposed guilt. They decypher a cryptic note and right an old wrong. All this in order to give new meaning to the life of an elderly lady living in an old Baltimore slum and to return to her what is rightfully hers. This is a story of boys who find young manhood and lifelong confidence through adversity. Between these covers are other short stories for old boys and young men. Some will delight, drawing a chuckle and others to inspire thought. A few will leave an introspective question or two to ponder. One story is pure piffle. See if you recognise which one.
