Show Notes Chapter Markers

Brian Cannon and his family have played a central role in Lettermacaward life since as early as 1911. From that year on his grandfather ran the post office, a baton which Brian would take hold of later in life.  Brian worked in the post office for nigh on 40 years but is now retired. In this podcast he reflects with me on several of the key happenings in Lettermacaward over the last century and beyond.. From the story of the herring influx into Traighenna Bay, to the archaeological dig at Dooey to the building of the Gweebara Bridge, quite a lot of ground is covered. I discovered a lot of things I didn't know during this interview, mabye you will too, I hope you enjoy it!
