active member of A.O.H., and numerous charities and other organisations. Bill is now in his 70's, enjoying his retirement from the Manhattan Transit Authority and living in Yonkers. A most courteous and kind Galwayman, he well deserves this honour. Lost Relatives I have just heard that Galwayman John Cox-- who works with Bord Failte, Dublin--has found some new relatives. Apparently John received a phone call from Willie and Millie Cox of Quincy, Mass. claiming relations. It all worked out wonderfully as both families struck up warm friendships. The Cox family of Quincv have now discovered that the Crowe family, Bohermore are also relations and furthermore they claim that Fahys of Galway are related as well!

It was very frightening. There was panic and bedlam for a while but luckily some men held the youth until the police arrived. The victim
was killed. Willy Poky
