Stephen Cronly --Ireland

Stephen Cronly. When I googled him I got some surprising results. He won "escort of the year" in the Rose of Tralee International Festival. It is some kind of beauty pageant and the winner gets a handsome man to escort her to events. Stephen won in 2000. The most recent Offaly Independant Newspaper has a picture of Stephen, again involved in the Pageant. The small picture on the left is from 2002. The one here with lots of ladies show Stephen, wearing the dark suit, surrounded by this years' candidates for "The Rose". Here are a few pictures that I took at the camp. Most are from group shots where I had to enlarge the pictures so they are not so great
The one where you can see his whole body, is one of I took at "the richest man in Bagnone"'s house. I have not had any contact with Stephen over the years. I did get one letter from him right after the camp was over. I assume he still lives near his home town, so I will send a postcard
to the address that I have for his parents and see what happens. Anyone have any Stephen stories? You can see from all the pictures where he is laughing and smiling that he likes to enjoy life. Here he is as one of our stripping "ladies" at The Show. I guess he could have won the Title of Rose and Escort in one fell swoop!
