Had the pleasure of meeting Derek Beahen in Inchicore today. I was in Dublin for some photographs, and traveling with Billy Beahen brother of Derek. Passed by his Recovery Place in Inchicore Dublin. We got chatting when I noticed amongst the cars, vintage toy cars, real vintage classic car, of which he tells me he has many. Also many many vintage radios from early 1920's onwards. 'I'm a hoarder, I love anything old, like that, sometimes people just bring me things like that as a thank you for helping them in some other way. like for example, I had another toy car vintage, was a green colour, a rare one, One guy was in collecting his car, and seen it and asked how much, I said a thousand, he said 800. I said no, I said 1000, then I said not for sale. Sometime later another gentleman walks in, sees the same classic pedal car. Wow he said, I use to have one of them as a kid, I cant believe I'm seeing it now. He came a couple of times and admired it also brought one time his grandson to show him what he use to play with. I really would love to have that really would, I said to him your really taking with it aren't you, I am indeed, take I said , how much, no money just take it, when your kind in the world it comes back to you. One morning a big package arrived, the signed deliverer was the same guy whom received the toy pedal vintage car. He had sent me an old record cabinet. He was a past high ranking Garda Official, as I said to you before, when you are fair and decent it comes back to you in kind'. Derek has also radios that were in many films, one was in In the name of the father, an old RIC Bike that was in an Ardal O'Hanlon movie. 'I like to help everybody, like when we are born, we are all the apple of parents eyes. but sometimes life can be cruel, and turn out not the way parents expect, but that doesn't make them all bad people, they are still that inside, even addicted drug users, I treat everybody with he same respect regardless'. We had a great chat that was only a few mins long, but felt like it was longer, but for other commitments I couldn't stay with him to chat anymore which I would have loved, but that's life, ill be in contact with him again and wish to get more of his story's and his own life story, but what a gentleman.
