A Day at the Races Tuesday ,September 19th 2006















































What a day !

Hope you had a winner!

Cherry Tree

Today it poured all day. High winds meant that the Ferris wheel had to be taken down. Aaah!!
Ruby Walsh made it three in a row with his win in the Kerry National on 10/1 shot Bothar Na.
Weather forecast bad for tomorrow too.

SandhillRoad

From a long distance player:


john,had four winners on wed. plus 2 places.if i was in listowel have probably had none.with the ground so bad it is easy to check who likes the mud as it had rained heavy overnight.i had the winner of the kerrry nat. at 10/1.how it went off at that price as the jockey and trainer have won many races in listowel and won it last year.lets see tomorrow.
ps. you are no prince monolulu with your picks.

They are back at Joe's again! We don't know if it is their fondness for Joe, his prices, or want of somwhere to live it up on the last few days of Race Week before they head back Market Street.

...in Sonora, Mexico.

BTW, the movie/film of Catch-22 was filmed at the base of Tetakawi Hill.
The sets are still extant.:cool:

Published in 1992, Johhnie gives us the history of Listowel Races and provides us with wonderful pictures of the likes of Bill Hennigan, Johnnie Moriarty, old Dr. Walsh, and many others.
It evokes submerged memories as I leaf through it.
I hope you can get a copy. I have mine open in front of me.

Hello REIC and welcome back.
Did you get to Listowel for the races ?
These photos are kindly provided by our roving photographer in Listowel. It is they that deserve all the praise and thanks from us that live far and away from home.

Mighty sharp images too.

Guys, gals, lads & lassies,

I need to get in touch with my old ( well, not old really---seasoned) schoolmate, Tony, as I understand he is to come on a tour of the [ American] West and is to be in Phoenix, AZ for a spell ( he turns water into vinegar ) and I cannot find his e-mail address.

Please have him contact me at:

I too like Bob Dylan.

Are you called ' Bernard ' or, ' Ben '?.

Where in Canada are you? Not Listowel, Ontario, by chance?

Cherry Tree

Welcome aboard, Bernard. Lovely to see such enthusiasm!

Bob Dylan Fan

Well hello all thanks for welcoming me to this great forum....I live in Brampton Ontario about 40 km north west of Toronto...Its a suburb really. Last time I was in Listowel was Jan 2004 with the wife and family. My dad is still there...he has been in that house since 1918 the year he was born.

Hi Bernard
http://listowel-ireland.bebo.com/
Check out link above to see Listowel
Regards from down the street

AnBealBocht

The Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade here in Phoenix, AZ is no mean thing either.
Shawnee, KS looks like fun.

Bernard, I am sure, is already booking his next trip home to Listowel?.

And, Bernard, to paraphrase Arcade: Best regards from way down the street & into the next [ Main] street.;)

AnBealBocht

...I got his cell/mobile # from Batty Hannon.

We will ' hookup ' here in Phoenix, AZ later this month.

Wonderful!.

First time user...hope all goes well! I'm researching my wife's family tree and we have come across a photograph (circa 1920 or earlier) of her Great Uncle sitting outside a house in an army uniform. A small sign on the house wall states 'Lawler, Listowel' and a stamp on the rear states 'From Wm Lawler, Photographer, Listowel.' We believe that the uniform is of the Irish Volunteers, but we're not quite sure how a man from the north of Scotland ended up in Listowel....but that's another story. We are hoping to visit Listowel in the not too distant future to try and locate where the photograph was taken.

Does anyone have information as to where this photographer's shop was in Listowel, and if the building still exists today? Thanks in anticipation!

Photograph now added. I.T. skills improving.

Why don't you put up the photograph? If we saw the building we might have a clue.

A hearty welcome to BOB DYLAN FAN and SCOTTISH BOY.
From SANDHILLROAD of the Small Square.
Bernard, I will see if I can find a photo of upper William Street. Have been to Canada a couple of times. It's a very enjoyable train ride up the Hudson River etc.

SCOTTISH BOY I have enlarged your photo so we all can look at it furtherand see what we can come up with. Stay tuned.
