Hi from Virginia

Hi all, Andy here. I have been lurking for around 6 months and finally registered.

I have 1 kilt, Freemason Universal from Frugal Corner. I am a MM, Great Bridge Lodge 257, Jr Steward and am also attending the fall College of the Norfolk Valley, Southern Jurisdiction.

My Scottish heritage is in the form of my Stepdad. He is of the Blair and Robertson families and has a direct relationship to Eric Blair, aka George Orwell. My Aunt is a curator for the British Armoury.

I live in Chesapeake, VA near Virginia Beach and north of Nags Head NC. I play kickball in my kilt. I am looking to sew up a new kilt and I love to build, tinker and make things.

Thanks!

Glad you found your way here, Andy! I grew up in Deep Creek and get home now and again.

This weekend we are have the Williamsburg Scottish Festival in Lanexa just off I-64. Cross the river and come and join us! Here is the thread on it and here is the website.

Great Bridge here. I grew up here, then went to school out in Southwest VA. Lived in Charlottesville for another 3-4 years. It took a 20K raise and promotion to leave Cville and come back to Chesapeake.
