The big brown box is marked The Irish Dunlop Co., Lower Abbey Street and on the sides are the words 2 Dozen and Green. I still don't know what was in it originally -- I couldn't imagine a tyre fitting into it, even though it is large and shallow, not like the deep boxes we used as children to bring the groceries home from Connolly's Supermarket on Patrick Street. It was kept on the top shelf of the wardrobe in my bedroom -- the little bedroom -- and, as I was the youngest in our family and one of the youngest in our generation, I don't remember seeing the contents until I was in my teens. I had never even peeped into it -- there was almost an unwritten rule that the box was too special to be touched. |

When I met Jim in 1948, it was not long before I heard of the Hogans. Apart from parties, I knew he had often called on Sunday evenings to Glenart. There was a welcome and it was home from home for him. After a while I was taken along and of course felt the same welcome. Jim used to say the Hogans were "friends" as well as being first cousins. |

Recently, I watched one of my all-time favourite movies on TV -- "The Train" - John Frankenheimer's brilliant WWII story of the French Resistance's success in diverting a German train full of French art treasures away from Berlin and towards the Allied Front in 1944. I've enjoyed this movie quite a few times for two reasons. Firstly, its obvious and outstanding technical excellence but secondly, and more importantly, because it brings back particular memories of a wonderful night out with a favourite uncle in 1965.

If you have been on the Hogan email circuit in recent months, you will no doubt be aware of the collection of Glenart-related writings that Bairbre has been co-ordinating. A suggestion was made that they should be available on the Web. This site is the result. |
