PJ Haverty was waiting in a barbershop in Athenry when a man sweeping the floor sat down and picked up a newspaper. Walter Francis turned the paper over and saw Tuam historian Catherine Corless featured.
This moment a decade ago in Maggie’s Barbers in Athenry — owned by Walter’s daughter Maggie — sparked a conversation and the beginning of an enduring friendship.
