Amsterdam/Paris circa 1966

Next week I'll be in Amsterdam and Paris with some of us Ryans. 

We'll see if we can recreate these photos dad took back in the 1960's.

Happy St. Patricks Day to James Patrick Ryan!

I never knew dad was in the Boys Town Choir, did you?  It would appear so from this article.  The date of the article is from the Star Tribune, September 22, 1946.  I scanned this a while ago and now I can not find the original. I know it's safely tucked away in one of my many storage bins, I hope.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I also have some footage of Welo at the Mexico World Cup qualifying games.  Will post as soon as I can clean up the clip.  I need to go to Don's and get a photo of his Golden Boot too!

UPDATE: Video! (OK, so not the World Cup, and not great quality but very cool. Sound is added for effect only)

I'll try to look for a tape of Mom playing something from this program, but first I'll have to find out what they sound like!
