“All his Dreams Worked Out”
On September 11th 2001, 26 year old fire fighter Sean Tallon died when the North Tower collapsed after the World Trade Center attacks.
Last September (2014) Sean’s mother Eileen (née Dennehy, of Tullig, Millstreet), his sister Rosaleen, and more family members were interviewed about their memories of Sean, that morning, more. The interview is a beautiful poignant four minute video which can be viewed on the Huffington Post.
Sean’s sister Rosaleen has been chosen as an aide to the Grand Marshall at the 2015 Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day Parade on McLean Avenue. She is a board member of Families of 9-11 Firefighters and WTC Victims, family liaison for Advocates for 9-11 Heroes – Memorial and a board member of the Beverly Crest Homeowner’s Association.

It’s going to get Noisy in June
For the first time ever, the Green Glens has been listed on the Irish Drift Championship Season Schedule 🙂
Round 2 – Green Glens Arena (Indoor), Millstreet – June 6/7
For the first time in Irish drift history, the IDC will compete indoors at the 2,500-seater Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, Cork. This historic venue, coupled with the insanity of the IDC will certainly be the highlight of the season. Expect a concert-like setup where the weather, for once, will not be a factor.
