    Our favorite Captain with the President

    Well, gang, I clearly don't understand how to link to a photo on someone else's Facebook page. I posted a URL last night that worked for some people but not others, so I "fixed" it this morning, and now it doesn't seem to work for anyone. I apologize for not understanding exactly how to get it right. If you'd like to see the actual pic, go to Facebook and search for Cullan Hooley. Click on the pipe band photo. I'd just put it into the post below except that the photo has restrictions, and I honor those. But it is up on Cullan's Facebook page.

    Hi all,

    Finally got the picture from the White House of the USAF Pipe Band with President and Mrs. Obama:

    Our young Captain is 4th from the left in the first row. Yeh, we're proud..... :-)

    What an honor. Someone should sew the Commander-in-Chief a kilt in the Air Force tartan.

    OK... I give up. I have managed to do what I thought was a reasonable job of controlling my Jonesing... until now! I suppose I'll survive the wait while Barb is making my kilt in the AFR tartan :-)
    (but it's not going to be easy) At least I have this great photo Barb posted while I'm waiting. Thanks for posting Barb - you must be very proud of your daughter.
