I wonder can somebody give me the date on which Bobby Sands died
and the names of the other hunger strikers, I only remeber Francis
Hughes. It was around this time of year if my memory served me
correctly.
"Let the cause that they died for not be forgotten", I cannot remember
the speaker of this phrase. Any help?
Ren� who remembers the events but not the names and dates.

Re .3
I stand corrected, it was Martin. His friends referred to him
as Ed which I believe was his middle name. Subject matter on this
is very interesting. The reasons for the strike, the five demands,
and all the political snafu's on both sides. I've some books on
the matter if anyone is interested in reading them. I'm located
in southern N.H.
