Fred and Ellen
O'Caruso
and the Irish Connection! |
Ellen's Irish connections are through her
grandmother, Alice Lynch, and lead directly to Darrylea,
Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan, about 50 miles north west of
Dublin, just a few miles south of the border with Northern
Ireland.
Fred's Irish connections began with his rescue
some 500 miles off the
cold North Atlantic
coast of Ireland in September 1962. |
|
The incident was the ditching of a chartered Flying Tiger Airlines Super
Constellation headed for Frankfurt, Germany. It occurred at
night during a raging storm. Twenty eight persons lost their
lives. Forty eight survived the rescue operation.

Again Irishman" during his brief stay at Mercy Hospital in Cork City,
at the end of the Flying Tiger saga.

The
New Jewel
|
Fred
and Ellen's attachment to Ireland has grown over the
years and through many trips back "home." They both hold dual U.S.
and Irish citizenships and own a home, known as "The
Jewel," in West County Cork, two
miles north of the village of Glengarriff on Bantry Bay,
approximately 60 miles west of Cork City. The Jewel doubles as
their high tech European business headquarters as well as their
hide-away. Check out the pictures and see the transformation for
yourself. |
