Grand Tour of the British Isles

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: [unknown]

This table is an ATTEMPT to describe, organize, and possibly display the slides J. took in July 1970. (Note: There are many gaps in memory!) Dog-gone it, J **could have** kept a daily (or so) journal...

J. is confident the three of us flew from Chicago to Shannon Airport (in western Ireland); probably a non-stop round trip. BOAC operated between 1939 and 1974. IF I recall, we immediately rented a car from Shannon (Aunt Janet drove first). Driving on the LEFT was a minor(?) challenge.

Slides can be sorted into numbered order; this MIGHT help give the ("sketchy") sequence of sights we saw and places we visited. CONSIDERING: Using bogus dates to allow viewing in "natural sequence" (May 1..31, June 1.., etc.)

Slide Number	Image (Y/N)	Description	Region	Note on Slide	Other Memories
136	Y	Sam & Margaret Stewart	Bailieborough	Brother and sister	We thought Sam looked like Grandpa Earl Stewart (at the time). After we talked for awhile, Sam told us "The pleasure is only half yours". They didn't know very much about "their" ancestors (and we didn't even record any basic info...). Looking back, Aunt Janet must have done TONS of research beforehand -- not the least of which was to locate them!!
