It was given to her father by Second Lieutenant Isao Kusuno, whom Aidan saved from a lynching by prisoners after the bomb was dropped in August 1945. Police said they don't think she knew that he was the shooter when he asked her for her car. She gave it to him and he fled the area. It was easy to understand Lohan’s frustration because his team had built on the previous week’s defeat of Waterford and from the start they hurled with purpose and in a dramatic turnaround for a side that had hit 22 wides, great accuracy, recording just two wides in the first half even if three further attempts had dropped short.
