She’s seen a few sides of life now–the geodesic dome created by Buckminster Fuller to serve as the U.S. Pavillion at the 1967 world’s fair in Montreal, known as Expo 67.
It was a world’s fair anyone who was there will likely not forget–good enough to pull some international focus from U.S. civil rights fights, anti-Vietnam War protests around the world and what came to be known as The Summer of Love.
And it was likely her beauty that helped her survive the brilliant theatrical designer Sean Kenny’s Gyrotron ride that snaked through the pavilion–a ride that even Kenny, if he were alive today, would likely admit did not come close to the attraction about which he dreamed.

For a second straight year, Peoria won’t have its traditional St. Patrick’s Day parade. But many of the area’s Irish pubs and other establishments still plan on celebrating next week.
A year after the emergence of COVID-19 scrapped most of the Irish-themed events and parties, some pub owners are anticipating a return to some semblance of normalcy.
“Peoria’s been known to have one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parties in the Midwest, and we want to keep that tradition going,” said Pat Sullivan, owner of Kelleher s Irish Pub and Eatery on the Riverfront. “But we want people to be safe; we want them back next year.”

In memory of Seán Kenny. Broadcast on RTE’s Sunday Miscellany August 16, 1998 and August 18, 2000.
Funny the things you grow up with in childhood. Things you never think twice about. Strange things. Unusual things. Things you think are normal.
As a child I grew up with Samson. Samson from the Bible. Brave Samson. Strong Samson. Samson who slew thousands of Philistines with the jaw-bone of an ass. Samson who was treacherously betrayed by the wily Delilah. Samson who pulled the pillars of the temple down upon himself and his loathed enemies.
Yes, of all the characters in the Bible I have huge affection for Samson. My affection for Samson goes back to the late 1950s. I am only a chap, a garsún, and I am standing in the sitting-room of my best friend’s house staring at the outline of a gigantic figure, all seven foot of him, half drawn on the wall.
