The story I was told as a teenager is that the priest was having an affair with the woman and killed her. They blamed the crime on a drifter who was passing through the area. That man, Tom Collins, was hanged in Hopewell Cape, the only time someone was hanged in Albert County.

If you drive out the old New Ireland Road about ten miles from Riverside-Albert, you'll find a cemetery in the middle of absolute nowhere. Go to the back of the cemetery, there's a grave for Father McAuley, and his second cousin Mary Ann, the murdered woman.

Near my hometown, but there's an abandoned settlement in the hills of Albert County where a woman was murdered with an axe and then they may have hanged the wrong man for the crime. Some people claim you can still hear her scream some nights.

It wasn't a given class, but it was reaching my fourth and fifth year of engineering and having various faculty members tell us cool shit about their research during lulls in class. I learned about how cars group together on highways, crowd dynamics in fires, composite materials, and aerodynamics.

I went to UNB strictly because it was Taco Day in the meal hall when I visited in Grade 12. I was told that every taco day was all you can eat.

My mother vividly remembers the previously emotionless nuns coming into her classroom with tears streaming down their face to announce the death of the Pope in 1963. The scenes were repeated six months or so later for the President.
