I’ve known him since I came to America forty years ago.<BR/>In that time, he and I never spoke to each other in English except if in the company of those who couldn’t speak Gaeilge. He was an English and Gaelic scholar (Professor of English, former Dean of Students and Vice President of Iona). He was an authority on Joyce and Yeats. <BR/>He was a past Grand Marshal of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in recognition of his work promoting the Irish Language, Irish Literature and Culture here in New York. Actually he was born in Boston but his parents moved back to Ennisdiamon (sp) in Clare when he was seven. He received his formal education in Ireland and graduated fro UCD with a degree in English Literature. He taught at the famed Synge Street Christian Brother’s school and in Enniscorthy (sp) in Wexford before being sent to New York. He taught at All Hollows and then Iona College from there. <BR/><BR/>Every Saturday morning we would go to Tri Eddy’s Deli on Katonah Ave. in the Bronx to pick up the Irish Papers, he the Clare Champion and I The Kerryman and Kerry’s Eye and there was never a moment without an erudite and animated conversation on either historical or current events. At 93, God Bless him, his mind was as nimble and sharp as anyone half his age and his recall was just remarkable. He would recite verses of<BR/>Poetry or cite paragraphs of prose that he learned in grade school in Clare. Many of his pupils in Synge Street went on to powerful positions in The Irish Government and he would often comment, “I remember him in school, he was a good student but a bit wild”. His Irish and English grammar was perfect and he was the ultimate teacher. There was never an occasion that I was in his company that I didn’t learn something. <BR/><BR/>I will miss him terribly.<BR/><BR/>Fíor Gael é, an Bráthair Cathal Ó’Cuinn. Ar dheis Dé a anam uasal.<BR/>(A true Irishman, Brother Charles Quinn.

Bhíomar ag déanamh "Jimín" agus léigh Brathair píosa de dúinn. Bhíomar go léir sna trithí agus lán compórdach le chéile. <BR/><BR/>Is méala mór dúinn a bhás. Ar dheis Dé agus i measc na nGael go raibh a anam uasal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
