Author Signing with Vincent Quealy

11am-12pm

Vincent J. Quealy, Jr. was born in Boston, MA, one of six children of Vincent and Anne Quealy. Grandparents John Quealy and Bridget (Meade) Quealy were both born in Ireland and lived there into early adulthood, eventually emigrating to the United States in the early 1900's and settling, for a time, in Lowell, MA.

"I remember my grandmother's Irish accent and Irish expressions and stories of Ireland and I came to learn later about the difficulties and hardships confronting my grandmother and her Meade family in Ireland at a time when Britain still ruled that country very harshly. I wanted, for many years, to discover all that I could about why she left a beloved homeland, along with so many others, and about the struggles of the family she left behind. I set out to find that story and it is written in my "Reflections of an Irish Grandson."

Vincent is a graduate of Boston College and remains deeply engaged with many of the university's programs and initiatives, Including the Boston College Ireland Business Council and the Boston College Alumni Association. He lives in Scituate, MA with his wife, Joanie, and very nearby their three adult children and five grandchildren.
