SO..as I mentioned in another thread, the MacArthur made its grand debut at Mass this evening (I just got back, in fact!).

Nobody said anything...I think they've become used to my kilts! When Mass was finished, I excitedly said to a friend of mine (Catholic school teacher, but not one of the nuns), "This is my family tartan!"

She replied, "WOW! The official King tartan!" (my last name is King). I said, "NO...it is MacArthur." She exclaimed, "WOW! That sounds VERY IRISH!" I replied, "Umm...No...its Scottish."

She then got to listen to a lesson in my family history...I'm sure she will NEVER forget the MacArthur tartan (and she invited me to go to the Alma highland fest with her this summer!)!
