Sir, – I enjoyed Frank McNally's Irishman's Diary on Friday last (November 13th). As a young and impressionable architect in the early 1970s, and having met Niall Montgomery on several occasions, I marvelled at his extraordinary signature – a series of interlocking loops without a single recognisable letterform. I also recall a salute delivered one day in Fitzwilliam Square, with a gloved hand emerging through the open roof of his DAF car as the snow fell thickly down, coating both him and its interior. – Yours, etc,
KEN WIGHAM,
Dunmore East,
Co Waterford.
