Madam, – I was very sorry to hear of the death of your paper’s former colleague Dr David Nowlan. I remember him from his love of our inland waterways especially the north Shannon. It was always a pleasure to meet him and his family after a day’s cruising, in one of the many great riverside hostelries on this part of the Silver River.
Stories and laughter would always emanate from his part of the room. – Yours, etc,
