US Adventures

I've been in the US this past week on business trip. Managed to make it back despite getting stranded in Minneapolis due to a snowstorm.

My trip took me through some good Irish-American strongholds - I've already got a few promises of some stories from people met in Boston & New York.

Please keep the stories coming!

Some of the stories received so far...

A number of people have been asking what kind of stories I'm looking for...

I can't tell you what exact type of story I'm looking for but I thought I'd post a small sample of some of the ones I've received already by way example :

• A pint and haircut -James Smith, Cavan
• Michael & Eileen - Andrew Shiels, Cork
• Silas - Paul Reidy, Dublin (Former Concern Volunteer)
• Our Lady of Dublin - Nuala Ní Choncúir, Galway
• A tale, a tale - Vanessa Delaney, Clontarf

So your story should be something like those ones...or then again nothing like those ones! See, that cleared things up, didn't it.

Anyway, please keep the stories coming to trueirishstories@gmail.com and keep telling your friends.
