Note:
Peter has identified several other people who were at Broome Hall with
him, but we need to check the detail:
W. Rowe (from Birmingham), (Michael?) Moloney (WF?), (Patrick J) Elliott
from London,
Fr Adrian Hastings from Birmingham (ordained a diocesan priest),
Angus Finnigan, Fr Thomas McKenna
Charlie McCarthy writes: ". . . I remember Michael Moloney well. He was
a doctor's son and one of the remarkable things about him was that
he had what
was knownas a "floating " chest — tremendous lung capacity
and must have
been regularly one of the first home on those early morning
jogs".
