60 years away and back

This is the 60th anniversary of when Joe McKenna of Nicholastown first went to Canada, writes Brian Byrne.

While studying medicine and subsequently building himself a very successful career as a surgeon in Toronto, he came home almost every year to visit his family.

He's back again just now. You can read about his life and times in Kilcullen and Canada in this week's edition of The Kildare Nationalist.
