Michael Carr served as captain of Warrenpoint Golf Club 15 May, 2021 01:00
WHEN I first met Michael Carr we were standing in the soon-to-be SDLP constituency office on Newry Street, Warrenpoint.
Michael was known to me by reputation only so the initial introduction was to take place over a cup of tea and cake; but he was quick to insist that for him, it had to be coffee and it always had to be Nescafé.
Michael was serving as a councillor for Warrenpoint and I was the newly appointed office manager for Karen McKevitt MLA.
Karen had the ingenious idea that Michael, with his years of life and political experience, should work alongside us in the office.
Paul Jellett, who died recently, was a former senior executive with the Belfast Telegraph. He was 82.
The son of tobacconist Louis Jellett and his wife Hilda, he was educated at St Colman s College in Newry and worked for some time in England. Returning home, he joined the newspaper where he became classified advertising manager.
In the 1970s he won the prize for his entry of Downtown in a competition to name a new commercial radio station. It is still going strong today.
Former colleague Terry McCaughey said: Paul was a great boss. He was clever and eloquent, and a good salesman and manager. I learned a great deal from him.
