The recent death of Larry Hagman of Dallas fame has sparked a memory of the spake of Loman Cregan,late of this Parish at the time when the question "who shot J.R." was on every body's lips in a more innocent era.
Loman had absolutely no interest in television nor Dallas.Like another friend of mine the Forsyth Saga could be "The Fords of Saggart" as far as he was concerned.
A lovely man ,he was a farmer and loved football and a nice pint when he could get it.
He was having a few sociables in Horans one Sunday when the Gun Club people landed back after a shoot.The conversation was about the poor shooting of all involved in the shoot and the need for improvement.
Afew Yanks strayed in and after a while engaged in conversation with Loman.They eventually asked him did he know who killed J,R.
"I don't but I am fairly sure nobody from Dunderry Gun Club did"said he.In total good faith of course.
