A FULL HEAD OF STEAM

How pensive the young TP looks on this steam engine (left) when he must have been four or five.  Such marvellous machines were part of the agricultural landscape of the day.

The young Master McKenna is suited and this shot was taken on the family farm during the time of the threshing.

Then on the right we see TP, having done some growing up, on the steps of St.Kilian's, the parish church in Mullagh where he braved early starts and frosty mornings for daily service as an altar boy.
