Today I have a great picture to post. We have Karen Dawe-Gordon and her amazing Aunt, Florence Laurie, to thank for it. Some of you people out there, because of your age, might have to get your mothers or even grandmothers to have a look at it with you. This 1949 picture is a real treasure from St Patrick's past. By the way, Florence Laurie is in the front row, second left.
Florence Laurie, who is now in her 80s, must have a wonderful memory for she has given us most of the names of those in the photo. Not surprisingly, some of the first names have slipped her mind so, if you, your mother, or grandmother can remember a name, we would be more than pleased to hear from you.
The young ladies in the photo are:
Larry Hearn,Joan Collins,? Buckingham, ? Athee, Maureen Brennan, ? Malone, ? Dillon, ? Sorenson, ? O'Brien, Mary Barry, Helen Walsh, Jennie Foley, ? Corbett, Madeline Murphy, ? Quinlan, Elizabeth MacKay, ? Luby, ? O'Brien, Florence Laurie, Eileen Murphy, Betty Hall, Mary Power, Mary Snow, Bernadette Collins, Helen Kerrivan, Kay Griffiths, Maureen Wadden, ? Luby, ? Sceviour, Helen Finch, Helen McGrath, ? Merner, Betty Stafford, Alfreda Hearn, Ann Connors, Mary Coady, Dorothy Tobin
Does anyone remember Sr Agatha? I have a vague recollection of her. I would have been in maybe Grade 1 or 2. After she left St Patrick's I didn't see her for years. In late 1965 or early 1966, I met her again. She was then very sick and she died shortly after, on 20 March 1966. Sr Agatha was laid to rest in Presentation Cemetery.
A huge thank you to Florence Laurie for sharing this wonderful memory with us. If you have anything else you would be willing to share, we would love to receive it. You can just send it to mcallistersmith@gmail.com and we will be delighted to post it here. Thanks also to Karen Dawe-Gordon who emailed the photo and information to us. In this dangerous time of Covid 19, stay safe, keep well, and may God bless you both and all who are dear to you.
