Dateline Irish on Echoes of Erin
with Diane Byrnes
Hello Friends,
Here we are the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Attached here is Dateline Irish for Sunday, November 24th. The Ireland Report comes to us from Belfast with Mairtin O'Muilleoir, Managing Director of the Belfast Media Group and Publisher of The Irish Echo out of New York. This segment is sponsored by The Irish American Unity Conference with Sarah McAuliffe Bellin as President.
The Topic for The Top of the Hour Moment is on the 61st Anniversary of the passing of President John F. Kennedy. This segment is sponsored by Colleen Rumble, a Listener and Supporter of the program. Can you believe it has been that long since JFK passed? Do you remember what you were doing when his assassination was announced? Were you even born? I think it is still a sad time, and most of his family has passed as well. Caroline, his only daughter, is still with us along with many nieces and nephews.
My guest in the studio is Pa Senator Devlin Robinson talking about Pennsylvania-Ireland Trade Commission. The legislation was signed off by Pa Governor Josh Shapiro about 2 weeks ago. This discussion should be very interesting. I hope you can tune in.
Not too much is happening on the social calendar for the coming week. I highly encourage you to see and listen to "Me and Bobby Magoo" which is a re-branding of Mark Guiser & Bob Banerjee. They are performing at the Harp & Fiddle on Thanksgiving Eve from 8pm. Go check them out, I know they would love to see you!
Come Thursday, November 28th is Thanksgiving Day. There is much to be thankful for, enjoy the day with your family!
This will be it for today.
All the best to you,
Diane
