I definitely remember the Bannigans, I graduated SJS with Maureen. The Swaneys sure sound familiar. Was one of them Scot, or is my mind playing tricks on me? |

Welcome Tsomyak, you kind of sound familiar. I was in the same class as I think his name was Frank Sweeney. Seems his dad passed away around 1970. Frank was tall and thin. Does this sound right? And there was a Bannigan in the class of 71 also. |
