1114.0. "To All, A Farewell" by WMOIS::CHAPLAIN_F (Tempus Omnia Vincit) Wed Aug 19 1992 09:02

    
    Well, ladies and gents, my tenure here at DEC has come to a close as
    of this Friday.
    
    Noting in the CELT file has been most enjoyable and deeply 
    enlightening.  My knowledge of Irish language and culture has been
    greatly increased and I've laughed til it hurt more times than my
    ribs care to remember.
    
    In departing, I just want to extend my greatest thanks to all who
    I've come to know from participating in this forum and I sincerely
    hope we can continue to meet on the occasion.
    
    My hopes for peace in the north of Ireland will never wane and I
    will always endeavor to express that desire, to teach and to learn
    those things that will help end that war and bring peace to a people
    who've given so much to the world.
    
    For certain, laughter was invented in Ireland.
    
    Slainte,
    
    Frank

Well I, for one, am sorry to see you go Frank. I've enjoyed your notes here

Take care and good luck..............Denis.

    Frank,
    
       Good bye, Good Luck and Good hunting.    It's is a dark day for us
    all.  I may follow who knows where the axe will fall next.  I will miss 
    your informative notes on the North Ireland subject.  I have learned from 
    you which is the way it should be for us all.  Your notes were always 
    objective (a little 8*)).  I sure did like the names you dubbed them with 
    like Tonto etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!  
    
      Keep up the good work. One day maybe they (the ill informed, myopic
    and unwilling to admit that HMG is as much to blame as anyone) will wake 
    up and take a pen in hand for the purpose of doing something constructive 
    to end the war.  I know you and the work you have done.  We all owe you a 
    round of applause as you leave.  With what you do in your private life I 
    have no doubt our paths will cross.
    
    But please send me your address and phone # so if something important
    comes up I can call you.

1114.9All the Best , Frank!WREATH::DROTTERThu Aug 20 1992 16:0732
    
    Frank,
    
      It never ceased to amaze me how accurate, and on target you were in 
    your notes about how the Brits perpetuate the murder and madness in
    NI for their own 'hidden agenda.' 
    
      Having served in Viet Nam, I'm sure you know how the U.S. gummint
    fascists that ran that war couldn't stomach the thought of being beaten 
    by an "inferior" Third World people, the Vietnamese. Well, so too in NI, 
    the Brits, racists ever, can't stomach the thought of having been beaten 
    by the Irish - after 823 years of continued repression. So they
    futilely continue the war, just like our government did in Viet Nam.
    
       Having just returned from Belfast, Derry, and a few days stay
    in the Free State, I can tell you first-hand, Frank, that not only are
    the Brits dishonest about their claim to NI, (which you knew all
    along), they have now been reduced to using little children as shields, 
    and hidding behind women's skirts in an attempt to keep a toe-hold on the 
    Irish island.
    
       They are building their military bases next to an elementary school,
    (in Newry), and in Derry, on the road to Buncrana, they have built a
    border check-point virtually around a woman's house, enclosing her
    house within the check-point. 
    
    Dishonest (always), and now *cowardly* to boot.
    
      You may have never been to NI, but you certainly knew the truth of
    what's going on over there. I will miss your quick thrashing of
    those with wooden heads.
