Some commitments go way beyond words.

STORIES

True Friends

Glynn discovers the true meaning of friendship.

The Belfast Project

It’s not always easy to deal with the past, especially if it’s a troubled one. Do you hold on to it or do you let it go? For Anthony McIntyre the answer was easy.

Anthony McIntyre is a journalist and you can check out his writings on his website: The Pensive Quill.

Thank you to Ed Moloney for sharing the archival tape of the Brendan Hughes interviews from the Belfast Project that were featured in his book, Voices from the Grave.

0:38.1	Then he glances to either side, say, I'm just like it.
0:41.4	And I see him turn the page of a green lantern, comic hidden in the holy book,
0:47.6	even as the preacher rages on.

1:13.0	Now, boxes, not cans, scratch.
1:18.3	Glenn, you want some more blueberry pancakes?
