Welcome to the Worldwide home for all things John McInerney.
In my lifetime, I have never personally met another John McInerney. I grew up with the impression that I had a rare and uncommon name. Now as an adult, and especially with the aid of the web, I have discovered a multitude of JMs out there, all with varying backgrounds, cultures and nationalities. One web search alone will yield thousands of results from every corner of the world and all walks of life. There are politicians, scientists, educators, athletes, students, business owners, lawyers and professionals - all classified under the same moniker. Some famous, some obscure. Some rich, no doubt - and maybe some are not. Apart from all the differences that we may have, each of us still shares a common identity; we experience the world as, and through the eyes of: "John McInerney."
For all those privileged enough to share this wonderful name, finally there is a website just for us. Provided on this site is every tool and technique available to connect one John McInerney to another. The overall objective is to institute a virtual roll call, of sorts. A forum where we may introduce ourselves and find out a thing or two about what other John McInerneys around the world are up to. In doing so, we hopefully will discover what it is that makes us so similar, as well as what makes us unique.
As the owner of johnmcinerney.com, I found no joy or interest in keeping this domain all to myself. I decided that sharing it with the world would be a great way to meet my fellow name-sakes, and form a virtual bond with the many JMs out there.
I invite all to become associated - my hope is that many of you will. There is no formal membership other than your name. I encourage you to connect with us by joining the Facebook group, following us on Twitter, subscribing to the Blog and connecting on LinedIn. You can comment or share information through those sites, and they will surely end up on this one as well. I hope to keep the content fresh, updating it often with news, annoucements and personal stories...
Maybe you don't share this name - but you know and love a John McInerney? That is okay - All McInerneys and Non-McInerneys alike are invited to participate as well. I look forward to hearing from everyone! It will be a pleasure to make the acquaintance of each and every one of you.
Cheers,
John McInerney

Dear John Stratford McInerney
ReplyDeleteIt's OK. It is good and healthy to feel like that about your name. I feel just the same about being a Mike Boddington, even if there are seven others on Facebook. So feel good about being John McInerney. And many congratulations for establishing the International Association.
Do you have an e-mail address for Professor John Exeter University McInerney? Late of the late Wye College, late of Manchester University. Or perhaps you could pass mine to him

Good luck - or, as we of the Lao PDR say, Xok Dee
