Product Description
Following his retirement from the U.S. Navy and the Philadelphia Diocese, Connell J. Maguire joined a writing workshop in Riviera Beach, Fla., where he began writing plays. At the encouragement of fellow members of the workshop, he also tried his hand at prose. "Follies of a Navy Chaplain" is a collection of vignettes, along with a handful of poems and a pair of one-act plays, reflecting the author's view of Ireland, America, the Navy, and the priesthood through a pair of smiling Irish eyes. "Follies of a Navy Chaplain" will make you laugh some, and cry a little.

As a chaplain, Maguire served at sea and in many parts of the world, including the Korean area and in Vietnam with the U.S. Marines. Presently in his eighties, he is trying to learn Spanish so that he can give sermons to the Guatemalan people in Indiantown, Florida.
