stories were always charming and larger than life. He stumbled
his way through his education and finally ended up in Trinity
College, Dublin. He joined the air force where he admits did
very little. However, as time went on, dinners would be filled
with tall stories about his time as a dashing Spitfire pilot.
Desmond went on to marry an actress, Agnes Bernelle. They lived
a thespian life in London and raised three children in between
night clubbing with the likes of Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful.
At the same time, Desmond wrote many novels and an international
best seller about flying saucers.
After marrying his second wife Helen, he moved back to Castle
Leslie along with two new daughters Samantha and Camilla. Here
he became the country squire and concentrated on turning the
Estate into a heavenly place to ride horses. He retired with
to the south of France but his heart always belonged to the green
lake of Glaslough. He passed away in 2001. |
