Scurlogstown Olympiad Testimonial 2014

Rosemary Swan/Michael Fitzsimons

Book Cover


The testimonial booklet above includes a number of fine tributes to both Rosematy and Michael for their contributions over the years to both Scurlogstown and the wider community and last Sunday night in the Knightsbrook  Hotel Trim a crowd of over two hundred turned out for what was a night of entertainment with presentations by Richie Farrelly on  behalf of Rosemary and likewise Pat Farrelly on behalf of Michael. Rosemary sadly passed away before the event but she would have been delighted with the turnout and that the Kilmessan choir of which she was an avid supporter were there to perform some of her favourite numbers. The booklet also includes a number of other tributes as well including the last piece written by John Wiseman before he died and there are also tributes to both Larry Daly and Tommy Murray. The painting on the cover is by the well known Kilmessan artist Micheál Ó Brien and there is a very old photograph or image on the back of Stella's Cottage out at Laracor. The booklet is priced at €5 euro and I'm sure available from any member of the committee. One for the bookshelves!
