Michael Kendall Flanagan, son of of Edward & Lorraine A. (Lane) Flanagan, was born December 16, 1951, and died 25 August, 2011 in Monkton, Maryland. He grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire,
and graduated from Manchester Memorial High School. I remember him from my class in high school–He was quiet and polite. When he spoke he was brief but articulate. Always in motion, he was a talented athlete.

Come join the grand Chorus with hearts full of glee,
And drain each a bumper in toasting the free
Let care and light sorrows be banish’d away,
Nor Cherish one feeling discordant this day,
Derry down, &c.
Our fathers, brave fellows, quite strangers to fear,
Surrounded by foemen, with nothing but beer
To fire their bold spirits, for freedom declar’d,
And met “Jonny Bull” for all battle prepar’d,
Derry down, &c.
