1988: HIBERNIANS CELTIC FESTIVAL


THE VERY UNFORTUNATE PASSING OF "IRISH" BILLY BRIGGS THIS WEEK TOOK ME TO THE "IRISH-AMERICAN" FOLDER WHERE I FOUND THIS ARTICLE ON AN AFFAIR WHICH WAS HELD 20 YEARS AGO. IT WAS THEN THAT BILLY BRIGGS HAD THE SOUTH OLDEN AVENUE BAR. EVEN THEN, BILLY, ALONG WITH MY FRIEND GERALDINE MCSORLEY AND OTHER DEVOTED IRISH-AMERICANS WERE RIGHTLY PROUD OF THEIR IRISH HERITAGE.
