MASONA'S MICHAEL COLLINS LINKS

Welcome to the new address of Masona's Michael Collins Links. For now this page is just a placeholder for the links. I will add graphics at some point in the near future but I promise to keep the page simple and easy to download. For those familiar with the old site hosted by Yahoo!, I have yet to add new links so you won't find anything new here just yet. Thankfully, now that I have control of the site again (I lost control of the old Yahoo! site when I quit my job), I can update the site more freely so expect a full update soon. For now, please enjoy the resources below and forward any questions to: masona@yahoo.com

Before contacting me, keep in mind that I am just an Irish American with a big place in my heart for Michael. I do not have access to any research materials nor am I any sort of authority on the man.
