Gents, ladies, rogues and rapscallions:

Thanksgiving in the US has cruised right on by us, but I find that it is never too late, or too early, to give thanks for the blessings and good things in our lives, and I'd like to post a late Thanksgiving note of thanks for you guys here.

First off, thanks to Mike and the moderators for all of their hard work in building and keeping this place running. Another thanks goes out to everyone who has helped me to grow and deepen my appreciation for kilts. Without wanting to single people out for fear of leaving out other deserving souls, I still must say a big thank you to Hamish, the legend, for showing us "how it should be done." With his style and his panache, and his kilt kollection, and his ever present smile, Hamish sets the bar mightily high. What an ambassador!

Speaking of panache, a big thanks to Panache, for (among many other things) his posts, now stickied, on dressy kilts, casual kilts, and formal kilt pictures. Also his nifty woodwork.

My goodness, I've started listing people, and I'd best stop before I go too far.

Another thanks goes out to the skilled artisans here, who share so freely of their knowledge and skills. Barb T, Matt Newsome, Steve Ashton, Rocky and Kelly and Alan H for the wonderful X-kilt and . . . well, here I go singling people out again.

Basically, thanks to you all. You have helped me, you continue to help me, and you help each other. That's the way it's supposed to be, and too seldom is.

If it wasn't for this place, I'd probably be running around in a check tablecloth!
