    Billy Graham

    I once heard the late Rev. Dr. Billy Graham say that on a visit to the UK, he went up to Scotland to see some of the area that his Graham ancestors had emigrated from, and was given a kilt in one of the Graham tartans, which he had "worn privately".

    Several US newspapers are running a story about the motorcade carrying Dr. Graham's body to its resting place, with the line "...a man played bagpipes..."

    piperdbh, I appreciate the honor you gave by piping the passing of Dr. Graham.

    As a moderator can I suggest that this thread has the potential to cause flags to be raised and I ask all to simply allow things to RIP

    Kill it, Liam or Bill. Apparently my post(s) aren't acceptable here any more. Shut it down.
