Connell J. Maguire

This is a collection of short pieces, poems and skits written by a retired naval chaplain. The stories begin when he is a young boy in Ireland and follow him as the family moves to Pennsylvania and then as he becomes a priest and serves as a chaplain during Vietnam. Each piece is a gracious reflection on events and people that affected him greatly. I laughed out loud several times and teared up more than once. I'd love to have been able to spend an hour or so with this man and his family!
