Not having been brought up Catholic (Higher Grade) never knew him then but met him once when James & I went for a weekend to someplace near the English border where he was the Parish Priest. He obviously recognised James during Mass and after he had finished just pointed at us and 'beckoned' us to go to the Sacristy. That was 1967 - '68 and must say we had a great fun weekend with him, never saw him again.
Wasn't too keen on Fr Maxwell,
Beats me.what was the name of the other wee one that was there? ...
On a kinda funny note, Father Maxwell gave me and Catherine Murphy a lift to St. Johns. We were in the back seat with his golden lab and the dog was a little, er, excited. Every time the car turned a corner the dog and his 'pinkie protrusion' slid either towards me or Cath. Needless to say, it was hilarious when the other person was on the 'receiving sid', and horrifying for wee Scottish Catholic lassies when the dog slid towards us!Catherine Belle wrote:Aw hen, sorry to hear that.morag wrote: Well, when my grampa died I was barely hanging in there at the service and Canon Maxwell, bless him, in his efforts to comfort me had me bawling.

great photo.
Mike Walsh, Arthur Breslin, Willie Burns, Peter Bird, (you missed him), Gerry O'Sullivan, Josie Burns and Frank Quinn were all in our class.
Tom Mclaughlin was two years younger, Michael O'Sullivan was Gerry's brother, three years younger.
Don't know how they let Bobby Lennox in from Saltcoats; (probably something to do with how good he was).
Smyth, Kirk and McAvoy, are unknown for me, as is Mr. Vogwell.
