    I know you don't wear a kilt to work all the time. But you manage to go kilted on special occations at the school and the responce has been mixed. The girls are interested in the kilt. The boys are too cool to say they like it. Maybe you changed a few attitudes after you explained the history of the kilt. A lot of young people don't get the fact that it is a mans garment and don't get the idea untill the history is told. It becomes more of a nobel piece of history and allows them a greater appreciation of the kilts rich history.

    You always manage to take the kilt were most would not go. Salsa dancing, Wedding shows and high schools. Whats next on your hit list.

    Way to go, i'm sure there's a few more young men and women that have now been enlightened to the kilt. You represented us well.

    From what Machummel tells me, some of these students really did some homework. The teachers and the students had prepared a number of really good questions on kiltmaking and the history of the kilt. They did some homework and suprised him at how good some of the questions were. It sounded like a great opportunity to give a little knowledge back to students that seemed to be quite interested in the whole seminar.

    That couldn't have been an easy thing to do.
    Well done indeed.

    You and the rest of us have a show and tell every day we wear the beast-that-we-serve, ahem , I mean a kilt. But it's good to have a soap-box to stand every now and then I'm sure.
    MacHummel do you think you be wear a kilt more often to work now that you've broken the ice?

    I am going to try to wear one more often at school but considering some of the students I work with It might still be difficult.
