When in Oughterard I saw a book "Don't Shoot Its Only Me" written by Bob Hope among Doc and Dick's shelves.They were telling us that Bob Hope's daughter has a house in Oughterard. And while having a walk one evening they pointed out a house belonging to the owner of Rolls Royce who happens to be married to the owner of Nestles.
Oughterard is a place you might meet anyone.Coming back from the island in Dick and Doc's boat we had just got ashore when another boat came up the river anwith Pat Loughnane from Culliagh who gave us a greeting and a trout fresh from the lake.
