A RIDE ON BROAD SHOULDERS

A recent e-mail related the following adventure:

"I was about 5 years old and my brother was 6.

We had wandered too far up the Station Road, Portstewart, and were carried down to my anxious mother on the shoulders of the "American Soldiers" from Cromore whom we had met on the road.

My first experience of Chewing gum, and chocolate - and indeed Americans!

They were most amiable and happy lads, and I have always remembered them with pleasure."

He is the author of many books and papers on a range of aspects of conflict, with particular emphasis on the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Helen Dawson obtained a first class honours degree in Psychology at the University of Ulster in Coleraine, and since then has worked as a researcher on a number of projects concerned with the conflict in Northern Ireland. Much of this work has been based in the Centre for Study of Conflict, and she has been particularly interested in political and cultural dimensions of the separation between the two main communities.
