This
is
a
small
snippet
of
an
article
that
was
in
Michael
McKenna’s
local
paper,
the
West
Briton
07.06.07.
He
was
rightly
so
proud
of
it,
but
a
little
reluctant
in
his
thoughts
that
we
might
like
to
join
him
in
his
joy
and
pleasure.
You
know
how
the
last
three
lines
of
the
Salesian
School
Song,
goes:
“And
may
thy
sons
hereafter
And
may
thy
sons
hereafter
Bring
Honour
to
thy
name”
The
following
article
is
a
true
reflection
of
this
sentiment,
being
put
into
fine
practice
by
a
Blaisdon
Old
Boy,
Michael
Mc
Kenna
and
his
compatriots:
250,000
reasons
for
tiny
group
to
be
mighty
proud
The

Morris,

Michael

By Jeff
Reines
A
small
group
of
volunteers
are
planning
a
huge
party
after
raising
a
massive
£250,000.
They
started
as
a
well-meaning
but
inexperienced
group
of
do-gooders
meeting
in
the
front
room
of
founding
chairman
Michael
McKenna,
hoping
to
help
out
a
charity
for
vulnerable
neighbours.
But
now
the
proud
members
of
the
Falmouth
Support
Group
of
Cornwall
Care
are
calling
on
everyone
who
has
helped
out
over
the
past
16
years
to
join
them
in
celebrating
their
remarkable
achievement.
One
founder
member,
Jane
Frapwell,
said;
“The
whole
idea
of
the
celebration
is
not
a
fund
raising
event
but
just
to
get
together
as
many
as
possible
of
the
people
who
have
helped
us
over
the
years
from
the
Falmouth
area.

SING - FOR THE SOUL'S SALVATION
by
Tony
Brady
Click

I
remember
when
David
Metcalfe,
Brother
Tom
and
myself
were
invited
to
Flaxley
Abbey
by
the
Lady
to
dismantle
a
massive
kitchen
of
all
its
built
in
wooden
cupboards
etc.
and
retrieve
the
wood
for
the
Carpenters
Shop
at
Blaisdon.
It
was
beautiful
English
Pine.
Brother
Tom
and
David
and
I
couldn't
wait
to
get
it
back
to
our
Carpenters
Shop
.
