Ep 60---
In this episode of Voices of Boyle, we sit down with Eamon Perry as he shares a few memories that paint a vivid picture of community life in Boyle through the years.
From the bustling local shops like Christy Wynne's and Keenan's, where summer ice creams became a cherished treat, to the biting cold of the "big snow" in 1947 that blocked doorways and halted trains, Eamon recounts the challenges and charms of his hometown with warmth and nostalgia.
Join us as Eamon reflects on the rich sporting legacy of Boyle, with tales of his uncle Paddy Perry's handball triumphs, and his own swimming accolades. He chats about the vibrant social scene of festivals, golf club gatherings, and the Catholic Club.
Facing personal and community changes over the decades, Eamon shares his hopes for Boyle's future development, emphasising the spirit that binds the town together.
Whether reminiscing about his youth in the streets of Termon or recalling career milestones and family life, Eamon's stories are sure to resonate with everyone.
