Just before heading out to the Texas Scottish Festival on the 3rd day, my family made a stop at Sam's. My son was sent on a separate mission to purchase some supplies, & he received a positive & knowledgeable reaction from the lady at the checkout, who admired his kilt & wanted to know about the tartan. As he was leaving, he heard the older man who had been behind him in line remark, "What was that?" The checkout lady informed him about the kilt. The older man's attitude was a long the lines of "what's becoming of today's young people?" It was nice that the lady was able to inform the man that it was a celebration of heritage, not some freak fad.

It's a good thing that you're never too old to learn!
