San Diego and other odds and ends

Look who's in San Diego for the summer!



Liam Corridan, Kilian O' Carroll, and Kevin O' Neill of Ciarrai.


According to Stephen Ahern of Irish Outreach San Diego the boys were to play a special pre game performance on Saturday night. The game in question is an annual Irish Night event.

On the previous Saturday the Irish community in San Diego held a memorial mass for the students killed in the Berkeley tragedy. 800 people attended that mass.




Below is link to a lovely account of this memorial event in last Saturday's Irish Times:

I thought I couldn't be prouder to be Irish…
