As one of those who were involved in organising the Kelleher get-together in Millstreet on 24th August, I would like to say a belated thank you to everyone who joined us, and made us feel so welcome. I would particularly like to thank Sean Radley, the staff of the Walis Arms Hotel, and all the Kellehers. You were wonderful to us, and the Australian Kellehers thought you were fantastic. If that is a foretaste of what the Gathering is going to be like next year, it will be great. Thank you all very very much. Rosaleen Underwood
