Just sitting here in California after reading about Gerry Ryan's death. I always enjoyed his yarns about his time at the Grove. I feel so sorry for his family. May he rest in peace. XXX ------------- Jazzyminor |

I always liked his radio show, but I haven`t heard him since I moved to Denmark. His cousin is married to my youngest brother, so I would imagine that she is pretty upset at the moment. ------------- Robbie

My wife and her family visited Gerry Ryan's father on Clontarf Road. He was
the local dentist and died in 2001. |

Heard Sean Haughey reminiscing about his youth and time with Gerry Ryan. How they were into bikes and GR visited their home in Kinsealy. Seemingly, GR was involved in the St Paul's school magazine, much to the chagrin of the priests. Do you remember that, Mel and Martin? ------------- Life is for living |

My friend Paul, in Paris, reminded me that we met Gerry Ryan at a Christmas night out in some club in Nassau Street back in the 80's. He was with his own group and we were with our Aer Lingus crowd. I had forgotten that but I do remember it now and we had a meeting of minds. We all just got off on each others happiness that night. Bless him, we were a mad lot that night and he responded accordingly.  ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Yes, it had a pic of all sport teams and all clases and write ups about the Bull Match,and plays and the Sing Out with Manor House.I was in it one year and we had to wear skyblue polar necks and grey pants When we raided Manor House in our final year, it was used as ID to pick out certain (bold boys as the Nuns describe us ),including mise who went on the rampage. Mind you we had help from some the girls who let us in the side door It had a glossy cover and was blue half way down.I bet there a few knocking around,It would be fun to get a few copies.I suppose if you contacted the School they might be able to give you a contact.I am nearly certain that there was a news story about the grove in it Rdgs Gerry ------------- Grover from 73(old Grove) In the year of the bankers and developers When recession raged across the land there were many driven by the hopelessness to set sail for the Americas and Australia |

I think the Record was still there for a year or two when I started but don't think it stayed all the way through. Used to have a staff photo and then photos of each class and then some articles about some tosh or other. Having come from a small Gaelscoil where I knew everyone in the school, every teacher, every parent - I couldn't believe how big Paul's was. I used to practically study The Record - trying to recreate that feeling. NEver quite managed it, but got used to things after a while. There's a few records out there with me looking even more ridiculous than I do these days..... ------------- I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash |
