Kelly in Ireland

When Kel was just a boy,

his aunt and uncle took him on a vacation to Donegal, Ireland. It was in 1939. While he was there World War II began. He was unable to return home. It would be seven years before he'd get back to Philadelphia. At first he stayed with the McGinley's, his mother's kin,in Ballyness outside Falcarragh, then he stayed in Corcreggan, near Dunfanaghy, with his father's relatives.

On the left is his Grandfather, Miney "The Pilot" McGinley and ___________in knickers is Kelly, then his Uncle Anton McGinley.
