Again, happy anniversary and here is to 40 more years of being kilted.
Thanks!
Yes I graduated High School in 1975, got my first pipes and first kilt that year (the pipes were my High School graduation present from my father, who wasn't sure I would stick with it).
Yes the Bicentennial was an amazing time! I can never forget July 4 1976, because I and a couple hundred other Civil War re-enactors were staging a Civil War battle on the field of a packed Anaheim Stadium, in near-darkness, with fireworks going off all around. We dubbed the pitcher's mound Little Round Top.
