MICHAEL CURRAN

Michael is one of TATA's international

members. He lives in Carrickfergus, a

town north of Belfast, Ireland. With his

location it is only natural that he has a keen

interest in Irish history. In particular, old

weapons used in Ireland.

Michael works in National Newspaper

sales, which allows him access to their resources and ar-

chives for research. He was shared many of his photo finds

and has written articles of Irish history.

The images seen on pages one through three of this newslet-

ter were provided by Michael. It is truly a joy to work with

someone who has the passion, research skills and time to

share information that we in the US would not have had

access.

Thank You Michael and keep up

the good work.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY
