What a great story. Dogs are remarkable creatures and Donegal is a spectacular place.

It’s been a long, long time since I was working in the bookstore in Kennebunkport and read this piece (from Sports Illustrated, was it?) My dad was so proud and sent copies to all the family, saying you were on your way to a great career. Of course reading this piece is even more pleasurable now as I am far more capable of fully appreciating it. Congrats!

Thank you, Kevin. Big Ed was a great man. He and Great Uncle Tom, and of course my grandmother Maisie are the reasons I value the Farley part of the family line so highly.

Magnificent! Your writing chased me down to the water’s edge much as that eponymous dog chased you. Thank you.
