Hi,
I am Jeff Hennessy,Irene Hennessy’s son,love any news about pictures you might have of my mother. Jeff HennessyI am Jeff Hennessy,Irene Hennessy’s son.Would love to talk to someone about archives,and pics of my mother.
Respectfully, Jeff HennessyHi Jeff, I have very clear memories both your parents; in fact, your father was my dentist, my brother and I called him Uncle Buddy. Your parent were very friendly with my parents, Dick and Gloria Broadbent. I remember summers at the Cape with our parents and their friends – lots of old time sports figures (Johnny Pesky, Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart). I can’t remember if my father knew your parents from growing up in Brookline, or my mother from Newton. One year for Christmas, your mom gave me an ice skating doll that she had set up on a mirror to look like a snow scene. She was not only stunningly beautiful, she was a kind and gracious woman. I hope you had a nice life despite the tragedy you endured. When my father told me about the accident, I remember he saying to me that you “came from a proud heritage.” Those words have stuck with me all these years.
My best,
Dale Broadbent Crowe
Jeff, your mother was very close to our family cousins. That would have been Inez Bowser, and her sons Jesse and Paul, and her mother Minnie Sullivan, from Geneva Ave. in Dorchester. I even have a picture of your mother holding me as a baby, out side of their apartment building. Unfortunately it’s buried in a ton of loose photos.
Hi Jeff,
I will see if we have any from WLYC.
