    Hello Hawk!

    A couple of years or so ago I was named a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Foundation Of Rotary International. Paul Harris--whose portrait I'm standing next to in the photo--was the founder of Rotary International, and his wife Jean was a native of Edinburgh. Paul Harris--also of Scots-Irish descent--was easily one of THE greatest Americans who lived during the 20th Century.

    Rotary International also has its own tartan, viewable at http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tar....aspx?ref=3570

    Also, an editorial correction: I meant to say that fly plaids are best reserved for "ceremonial or somber formal events", not necessarily or exclusively "sober" ones. I fully endorse a "wee drap" on such occasions.....
    Best Regards,
