E-mail: ger@garmedia.com		 Delighted to learn about this site, though I'm sad at the death that occasioned it. I met Jack a few times, brief encounters, really. I enjoyed his columns and insights on developments into life in Northern Ireland. He helped inspired hope, hope that has in good measure has come to fruition -- that the divide in NI can be bridged with greater understanding. Ger

E-mail: lyss@telus.net		 Dear Mary and Jenny,
Thank you for giving me the honour to sign this Guestbook. I still treasure Jack's book on Druid Time which he signed for me on June 2nd, 1986 in a restaurant in NYC. I also remember our meeting in Rome in 1989. I'm so glad that Jack's latest book is coming out this summer (after all the trouble you had with his publisher and agent) thus fulfilling his wish. God works in mysterious ways. I was shocked at hearing about his death, and I hope that in time your pain will go away. All the best and take care.

E-mail: bhroberts@lifespan.org		 Dear Mary and Jennie: Thanks for this wonderful tribute to a dearly loved brother-in-law. Jack and I shared many interests, including ancient Rome, politics, writing and feminism. I loved our visits with you all over the years, whether to greet Jennie as a newborn in Dublin, to see Rome for the first time when you were in Trevignano, or to entertain you at Suan Croi in Jamestown. It was Jack who translated "Heart's Repose" for us so we could, rather grandiosely, name our home by Narragansett Bay. His death was an awful shock and a loss we will alwa**uffer, as his life and work were gifts we will always be grateful for.
Love from big sister Barbara

I'll miss sparring with you, Jack.

E-mail: williamanderson@eyelinestudios.com		 Although I didn't know Jack that long, almost six years, he became a good friend to me, I have fond memories of Jack in New York, eating at his home with a well cooked meal from Mary his beautiful wife, drinking wine at Raoul's Restaurant before we headed to his home. Jack was a well read and studied man of the world, I was a simple lad from Belfast, but I felt we hit it of as mates. I will always remember you mate, any time I visit NYC there will be a glass of wine waiting for you in Raoul's at Prince St.

E-mail: btandjb@indigo.ie		 You have done Jack proud with this tribute / archive / advocacy. The collection of Echo articles will be a valuable resource for years to come. The photos are fun - my hair was at least as bad when I sat at a desk beside Jack's in Hibernia in 1975.
It is hard to credit that Contempt could be dropped by the publisher in the manner it was. The excerpts demonstrate - yet again - Jack's lightly worn, elegantly expressed scholarship and conviction.
I look forward to its eventual publication in full.

This is a wonderful tribute to Jack. I especially enjoyed the photo gallery and picture from your wedding day. You were indeed the most bodacious bride I have ever seen, Mary!

I hope you are successful in your quest to have his book published -- have you approached a woman ???

I think of you often and with great fondness. Love always,
Mary Jo
