National Capitol Region National Tartan Day Festival April 5th

[Geoff Withnell]

Father Bill,
Much thanks for the kind welcome. Once I have some time to engage, I'll do so (my two colleagues who welcomed me know my schedule quite well, and can vouch for my lack of time!). Hopefully we may establish a Scottish-American Military Society (SAMS) presence here... We shall see. Thanks again!

'Twas a beautiful sunny day and a grand event, Ralph! I know you were responsible for the latter, and God sent you the former.
