I went to this high school and the first book I read was by McCourt. The book was amazing. It was the first time I've ever cried so hard reading a book: very, very well written. I'm saddened that I never met him in person, especially since he pretty much retired before I was even born.
I'm so glad that my English teacher made me read Teacher Man last year.
Rest in Peace Mr McCourt.
And he was always insecure about his looks. What an intelligent and handsome man he was.
Frank McCourt; one of the finest Americans this country has ever known. I listen to his audiobooks in my car. Great stuff.
Good video....captures him well. He was my teacher at McKee 64-68
That Is Brilliant! Thank You For Posting This...RIP..Frank McCourt.

Awesome post - thanks a lot for sharing this bit of historical video of a great writer. RIP Mr. McCourt.
Thank you so much for sharing this. l really wish I could have sat down and had a pint or a cup of tea with him.
Great to see this. Thanks for sharing it. A man apart was McCourt.
That's a great video. Just as I imagined him. A Great American teacher, author, person, Frank McCourt; epic. Do read his books.
Wow, you really hit the jackpot there. That's just great. Thanks for posting.
R.I.P. Francis "Frank" McCourt
And Moishe, you really missed out bro. I would have LOVED to have had Frank McCourt at my wedding.
@alwaysflowers Yeah I just finished reading 'Teacher Man' and for some reason, I loved it more than the rest, as well. Totally agree with you there!
Moishe - why didn't you invite him to your wedding?
@alwaysflowers Angela's Ashes is tough to read. I meen its a good book and easy to follow. It is just so depressing. First few pages a baby dies.
