Just a Boy from Home With songs, stories and recipes Bill Bourke
shared this entire book from memory. It contains stories and
historical facts about the Catholic Church, the striping of the
land after the South gained independence and the words to an IRA
song, The Dublin Trials that his father sang. There are many more
songs of Mayo, poems and expressions that otherwise could possibly
be forgotten or lost if he had not agreed to sit for many hours
reminiscing. You will read about Patrick Shannon, a Mayo man who
was a hero in World War I. Also, how his good friend Michael
Fitzpatrick received his American citizenship 52 years after his
untimely death in Korea. Bill tells of the Irish camaraderie that
was already present in Chicago upon his arrival and how he got a
job being Just a Boy from Home. The singing and dancing that was
found in the neighborhood pubs and said, "Oh, the fun we had " But,
still the innate loneliness that could be felt in a room full of
people for the mother he left behind in the tiny cottage, at the
end of the road, in the Village of Ballymacredmond, near the town
of Ballina, in the County of Mayo, Ireland. Bill married Kitty
Morley, a young girl form County Mayo and continues his training as
to be an Engineer Santa Fe Railroad. It has taken a lifetime of
trials, errors and successes to create the foundation for his
family that is now continuing to flourish in the great city of
Chicago in the United States of America.
