McCreary telling the story of his life, his love, and the unexpected shot at redemption he finds in a rural pub in Ireland. Over the course of the evening we’ll hear how Frank got into the newspaper game, how he covered City Hall for the New York Post, how he met, left, met again, and ultimately lost the love of his life, and how his search for peace led him to this particular seat in this particular bar. His story takes us from Baltimore, to New York, to Donegal, Ireland. Guinness is poured, and spirits are consumed.
