We had a wonderful turnout for Keith Kurtzer’s talk, with people traveling from Cork and Tipperary to be with us at Buswell’s Hotel. Keith delivered a tour de force presentation which contained a lot of unseen and unpublished material. For those who were unable to attend Keith very kindly provided us with a copy of his presentation. Although we don’t have Keith’s guiding narrative we hope it will provide Society members and McCormack enthusiasts with an enjoyable trip down memory lane.
