    Portland Highland Games Redux

    Had a couple pictures to share of the Games. Didn't take many as I was primarily confined to the clan tent. MrLion stopped by and we had a good talk but I was too dumb to think about taking a picture to prove the fact. One picture is of the clan parade and the other is of our clan tent. It was our first year to try a tent so be compassionate in your consideration. In the parade picture, in my defense, nobody mentioned anything about my balmoral being so far askew. I wondered why there was so much laughter in the stands as we went by. To me, the most important thing in either picture is the older gentleman. He is Patrick Young, son of Sir Cyril Young. He is 97 years old, walks 5K every day if possible, is a former British Naval Officer, and a survivor of over three years in a Japanese POW camp. One heck of a nice guy!Click image for larger version.

    I think your Clan Young tent looks fine Rick. (We won't talk about that Balmoral.)
