This might have been taken when the group went to Carrickfergus in the North of Ireland. Wonder what happened to all the Medels and Cups won over the years ,did the Nuns sell them and buy the House in Rathdrum with it ?

when this photo was blown up the bruises on our legs and faces were visable caused by  the Nun's beating us with their sticks ,we had to pratice for long hours well into the dead of night after working hard all day including working in the Rosary Bead Factory which we had to make 600 a day .which is where we worked every day except when had to go to a  dancing competition ,we were so full of FEAR we danced like Zombies . all this abuse caused I'll health in more ways then one.

Hi Kay, as you look at the photo I am on back row second in from the right with the fringe. I had this photo  redone by a Professional  ,No Kay it was a terrible time and still have nightmares about those awful days still feel the fear if I didn't get it right,my mouth was bleeding the nun had bashed me on the mouth and chin ,wiped the blood for the photo, if I didn't manage a smile for this photo I would have been dead. I refuse to give more publicity to that one you ask me about but I am sure you can guess.

Hi Gerry, The Comment was Deleted was answering a Question asked by Kay!

Who Criticised me for answering the Question;

yet the Question she asked still remained;

Kay has however left the Shame of Ireland; and her comments and Blogs have been removed by her on her way out!
