THE EYRE FAMILY, MY ARISTOCRATIC IRISH ANCESTORS

by Charles EJ Moulton

Article / Memoir

July 05, 2013

30 days reads: 5

Summary

“Never forget, children,” my grandmother Eyre used to say long after her husband’s death, “your father was an aristocrat, an Eyre of Eyrecourt.” But if deeds and character count for anything, it was this lively, energetic, warmhearted, caring little woman who was the real aristocrat of the family. My grandfather, though aristocratic in name and manner (when sober, that is), seems to have inherited the worst traits of his famous and ever more disimproving race. Very Irish, that. When I first moved to Dublin in 1959, I tried to trace the registry of his birth there. All I was told was that the old records at the Four Courts had been destroyed in “The Troubles” and the Civil War. Thanks to my Grandmother “Scrapbook” (actually an old Architect’s and Builder’s Directory for the USA, published in 1885, into which she wrote and pasted everything she wished to save: a family trait) we have what scant information remains, regarding names, dates and places. This is my only source. This and what I remember hearing about those old days. Things that used to inhabit our old 1930’s Glen Ellyn home are gone. The memories are still there. Damn the depression, anyway. We had a great time.

Stuart Hopkins - No Grey Areas

Summary
Chapters

I grew up in an abusive home and therefore it was never on the cards that I'd go on to become a professional hotel pianist, traveling the world and playing in some of the very best hotels. It was even less predictable that I'd one day play in the presence of President Bill Clinton, and call him Pister Mresident! I have almost been killed in a storm on a ship, in a car, and by the Asian tsunami or 2004 I've experienced the very best, and the very worst. Now, aged 45, I've decided to sit down and write my memoirs. I'm posting excerpts here with the aim of getting feedback from avid readers such as yourself. How do you find my writing? Does it flow? Is it interesting and entertaining? Would these excerpts persuade you to buy my ebook of what will be around 600 pages for seven or eight dollars when it's finished? Your constructive criticisms and comments will be much appreciated!
