Harry:: Where are you from?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born in 1918 in Broadford, Co. Limerick and grew up on a farm in Churchtown in North Cork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What games did you play when you were a boy?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurling \u2013 everything was about hurling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What was your favorite treat?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would go to the point-to-point horse racing and a man with a cart would sell a special lollipop. On special occasions we would get the train to Cork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What was your first car?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought a Baby Ford 8 horse power in 1938 from Fr. Kelly in Limerick. The registration was IU 3028, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What was your job?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked in the bank and I was the bank manager in Clonakilty AIB. I also worked in farming when younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What event do you remember most in history?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration of World War 2 in September 1939. I was working in the bank at the time, and we had to duplicate all documents. There was also food rationing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What is the secret to a long and healthy life?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be nice, think of others and help them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry:: What advice would you give to your 8 year old self?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To remain farming because I was good at it, but life takes over. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
