    Legion Padre

    I had the honour and privilege of performing the interment for a Scottish member of the Royal Canadian Legion today.

    Bill,

    What a wonderful way to serve one who performed such high service.

    It's unsolicited, but an observation: you might consider lowering your sporran a bit. I find they typically look best if there's a little of the kilt showing above the top of the cantle and the bottom edge of the hair is at or below the bottom of the kilt.

    Appreciate the advice, but it doesn't work on my body. If I hang it there, it hurts!
