this is a picture of my dad not long after immigrating to Australia

He died some time ago and have had the pleasure of taking my family to Ireland and where we enjoyed many stories of his past

Have never seen this photo of him before

This picture and story was run in local newspaper in Ireland, called the Kerryman, which my cousin saw and emailed back to me.
