Born
in Liverpool a town I love so well and came from an Irish background
and I am proud of them both.
Trained as a Joiner/Carpenter and in time taught the craft at the
Anglican Training Centre and the University Settlement Liverpool.
Took up night school and many Educational courses to give me extra
skills.
Sport Boxing, Rugby and Football in that order, but not Professional
Boxing. The Kirkdale Youth Centre was a great place, were I spent
much of my youth.
My Hobbies are Choral Singing and History and I sing for the Crosby
Caledonian (Scots) Choir.
At present I am engaged in finishing a collection of poems for publication
in the near future. I also have a collection of short stories about
Merseyside based on the Liverpool area some with an Irish flavour.
These
have been transposed onto Audio Cassettes by the Preston Blind Welfare
Society. Preston,
Lancashire, United Kingdom.
Also I have just finished a memoir of Kitty Wilkinson, called 'The
Life and Times of Kitty Wilkinson' to be published by Countyvise
in the Autumn.
I
would welcome comments or any communication on this subject.
