The Memoirs of James Moynahan Published On Amazon

It gives me great delight to announce that the Memoirs of James Moynahan are now available in eBook AND paperback form on Amazon. 

I am SO delighted to see this work published and available to others. 

I have been aware of the existence of these memoirs since 2002 when I was corresponding with Lynn and Andrew Muras' aunt June Frances Woeber (1930-2014). I regrettably lost touch with June, and I often wondered what could have possibly happened to those papers? 

Pictures = 1000 Words: Ray Krolicki & Jacqwyn Moynahan

 "A picture is worth a thousand words" is an English language adage meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still photograph. 

When I received the wonderful photo below (taken in August 1941, Santa Monica) of  Ray Krolicki (1920-1986) and Jacqwyn Mary Moynahan (1918-1994) from the Muras-Woeber-Moynahan photo collection, my first reaction was "Ray has two legs!"

With thanks to Zelda (Moynahan) Woeber (1901-2002), the reverse side of the photograph contained over one hundred words explaining the circumstances of this photo. That led me to research some more details not previously known!

John Moynahan:" Son Of A Ford Worker"

In 2014, I created a blog post to honor my Uncle John Moynahan (1934-1987), 52 Ancestors #26: John Moynahan: Labour Leader.

Circa 1935: John Moynahan in the arms of his father Ernest Moynahan
with his mother Rhea (Coughlin) Moynahan and sister Patricia Moynahan

Today's blog post, on the 33rd anniversary of my Uncle John's death September 15, 1987, repeats most of my 2014 blog post with additional photographs and news clippings. This post is VERY, very long. It was impossible to make it brief.

A testament to a life unfairly cut far too short that accomplished so very much in such a short time.
