My biggest collection is anything Irish, especially if it's AOH related, but I also collect Law Enforcement items, and anything Civil War or Irish Brigade.

At one point I had over 750 Police patches from all over the world, unfortunately, the entire collection was stolen during a break in... that was 30 years of collecting gone in a flash.

Eventually I'll add some pictures to my site...

Best Regards,

Phil

Here's a brief poem my grandfather wrote regarding a frustrating episode with Judge Cohalans during Dev's famous speaking/fund raising tour in the States:

SINN FEIN

Amidst assembly's roar and cry
And Judge Cohalans bellows
Sat Harry Bolond, Dev and I
And brave young Liam Mellows.

Then DeValera turned his head
A frown was on his face
We're getting nowhere here he said
We can't present our case.

Round up said he our secret men
And cable Austin Stack
And I will wire you where and when
We'll meet near Saranac.

I rose and left the turmoiled hall
Ne'er to return again
But there was action swift that fall
In the heart of Old Sinn Fein.

I was adopted and my birthmom was Irish. Her last name is McCreery. Her family lived in either the Philly area or Jersey. Her Mom( my grandmother) worked at the Campbell Soup Factory in Camden, N.J. I've been searching for her for at least 20 years. I celebrate my Irish heritage and I honored her this past Mother's Day by getting a small shamrock tattoo.
