Sir, – I read with huge interest Rosita Boland's "Ireland's over-60s remember" article (Weekend, August 23rd). I realise some of the stories were sad but it was great to read of people's lives, knowing that they had survived through lots of ups and downs, disappointments and, in some cases, tragedy. As I approach a similar age, I wonder how many children of exiles might have similar stories.Thank you again for a great read. – Yours, etc,
