I grew up in Balbriggan and left in 1981. Now living in Norway. Would
be nice to hear from folks I grew up with.Hi Stumbled accross your website
today while taking a break. Finally Balbriggan has a decent representation
on the net. Haven't made it through all the news and photo's yet but the
ones I saw give a good description of the town. Shots of Butlins were
definately a trip down memory lane. (Had a summer job in Dan Lowery's
around 1978. ) Great site and I'm sure it's appreciated by people living
abroad like myself. I left Balbriggan in 1981 and presently am married
and settled in Oslo Norway where I work as a Web/Database/Software developer.
I think I recognise Jack Benton from the photo. I used to hang around
with his son Fergus when I was about 13 and remember Jack taking beautiful
photo's back then. Anyway just wanted to send a little encouragement to
keep up with the site. with regards Alan Murray MCSD
