Below is the actual acknowledgement
featured in the Angelina: All the
poems in this book, have been broadcast on the Gerry Anderson Show, BBC
Radio Ulster. I owe a great debt of thanks to Gerry Anderson, for his help
and encouragement.
Gerry
Anderson, is a very kind and indeed, generous person. Many people could
testify to Gerry Anderson's secret, charitable good deeds. None more so,
than Mrs Rosie Ryan, from Clougher. Rosie Ryan, is a frequent beneficiary of
Gerry Anderson's generosity. Without Gerry Andersons's help, Rosie Ryan
would not have a wellington on her foot. And her son, the adorable wee Bon-Jovi,
would still be sleeping in a tea chest. But Gerry Anderson, is loathe to
talk about his good deeds and refers all enquiries to his good friend and
showbiz partner, Mr Sean Coyle. Both men, play down any suggestion,that they
aspire to be Ireland's answer to Ant and Dec.

and still thinks he was there too long...funny enough, his teachers,agree
with him) |
