NED CURRAN FROM NY, VIA RING COUNTY WATERFORD
I interviewed 88-year-old Ned Curran from Ring, who left these shores over 60 years ago.The interview, which lasted for over two-and-a-half-hours was brilliant. ned spoke about his early days in Ring before departing for the UK & then Canada and eventually ending up in NY, most of his working life was spent with racing stables and some famous horses, along with famous people, like Betty Grable etc...this is just a small clip I took of him as he sipped on a glass of red wine.A wonderful man with a wonderful memory.Hopefully, in the near future I will do something with the taped interview, Nicholas Graves is also speaking on the clip.
