Acknowledgments
This brief look at the long and varied life of one man is not meant as a critical evaluation but, rather, a celebration of how a life, on the face of it so different to most of us, can affect others for the good. I am grateful to all the contributors whose generous comments have helped capture something of our subject. I would particularly like to thank Dr A. H. Claire for his invaluable contributions and encouragement. I am grateful to Liz Keane and the Loughrea choir for their support. Thanks, too, to Cathy Johnson, for her comments and reading. Also, for his support and personal insights, Dr Chris Murray. All errors and omissions remain my own.
