Love for Limerick
March 17, 2008
“F. Scott Fitzgerald said there are no second acts in American lives. I think I’ve proven him wrong. And all because I refused to settle for a one-act existence, the 30 years I taught English in various New York City high schools.”
–Frank McCourt, author of Angela’s Ashes and ‘Tis and donor of The Leonard Collection to the University of Limerick Library
McCourt also supports “the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Ireland who kept my family alive in Limerick. I’ve been a supporter for 20 years. I used to send them $50 when I was a teacher.”
