NBC features Tobin school.

(This article appeared several years ago in a Long Island paper. McCourt did an introduction, and was never seen again. He never met us.)

Former teacher Frank McCourt is to returning to school.

The Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author of "Angela's Ashes" will host a profile of the Gerry Tobin Irish Language School on one of NBCs half-hour weekly Programs 'Four Stories."

The McCourt presentation, which can be seen March 14 at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 4 in the New York area, is one of four profiles of remarkable volunteer organizations.

The Gerry Tobin Irish Language School, with its dozen teachers and many volunteers was noticed by NBC for its ability to provide an extensive program of Irish language instruction at all levels without outside funding or charging tuition.

The school holds free classes on Thursdays at 7:45 p.m. in the AOH 27 Locust Ave., in Babylon L.I. The school's next semester starts on April 2.
