What the Wind Knows
T homas Smith is a medical doctor and friend and con-
fidante of Michael Collins, the hero of the Irish fight
for independence. He keeps a diary from 1916 to 1922 of &
what he and Michael do in this time period. Eoin Gallagher
is a small child who has lost his mother and father in the
ELECTRICAL
Easter Uprising in Dublin. He is being raised by his mater-
se#: NJL13VHO4515600
nal grandmother in County Leitrim in the west of Ireland.
Eoin Gallagher is also an Irish immigrant, living in the
USA in 2001. He has never returned to his native land.
When he dies, he leaves his beloved granddaughter with

poet of twentieth century Ireland.
Author Amy Harmon takes the above three threads,

which are truth and fiction and blends them into a “time
travel” novel which is an engaging read. She manages
a wonderful, love filled end which is hard to imagine.
Anne is transported back to the time of Michael Collins
in Ireland. Unfortunately, she knows the future for these
people whom she comes to know and love, including her
own grandfather as a small child. Imagine the logistics of
a twenty-first century woman going back to the clothing,
housing and mores of a century past.
In a moving passage, grandfather Eoin states “The
wind and water know all the earth’s secrets. They have
seen and heard all that has ever been said or done. And, if
you listen, they will tell you all the stories…of everyone
who has ever lived.”
Anne, of course, falls deeply in love with Dr. Thomas
Smith and he with her. He knows her true story and they
plan a life together. The author is able to pull out a happy
ending in a very unusual way. Each chapter begins with a
verse from Yeats and a story from the Smith diary. Com-
bined, this is a lovely book to read.

Maureen & Jim Lampariello
2507 Morningstar Road
Photo by Joan Daurio The job he most enjoyed was working for the NJ Nets
(NBA) where he spent 18 years. He began as their Director
of Public Relations after the team returned to New Jersey.
He attended about 60 games a year, taking Maureen and
their 3 young sons to many of them - an experience they
all cherish to this day. His last position was as the team’s
Executive Vice President/Administration. That was until
the team was sold, new leadership was brought in, and
sadly many loyal employees were let go. (Willis Reed,
outstanding player of the New York Knicks and a former
Nets head coach, is still one of Jim’s best friends.)
In 1999 Jim joined former Nets president, Michael
Rowe, as his partner at Positive Impact, a sports and enter-
tainment management group. In 2004 Jim founded a sister
company, Positive Impact Partners, working together on
some clients and independently on others.
