Memories of Dungloe, County Donegal

I have many memories of growing up in Campbell’s Hotel, Dungloe. Some are of incidents that occurred in 1938 when I was only four years old; others are of events that happened during my teenage years. These are memories involving my family, my friends, and of the people who lived in Dungloe and in the surrounding areas. My memory is, of course, very selective. Only the incidents that have made an indelible impression on me are recalled, and the more intense the emotional experience at the time of the incident the more vivid and long-lasting is the recollection of that experience. I remember very little about the years prior to my fourth birthday, but have very clear memories of incidents and people in the years afterward. This is a collection of these memories.
