Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Margaret, I wonder would I know Joe Kennedy? I'm really only replying to see if this post goes as the website still seems to be off.

Ann, Joe Kennedy taught in the tech for a long time He taught metal work etc. He was a very clever man and a real gentleman. He was Tom's boss for a while. Joe was 90 years old and was active until 6 months ago. A lovely man ! He had advised Donald to stop smoking when he was at school and he had managed it 55+ years later
