I think the story was nicely done. It shows a great deal more maturity and balance than some I've read. Overall it's concise but covers the subject well.

My hats off to you and the Tribune!

I rather enjoyed both the article centered on you as well as the "related" article.

I like how they used a photo of your collection in the second article.

I was hoping that it would give an overall view of wearing the kilt, and I think it did so within the constraits of space available. I'm hoping that it provides some options for men who are disabled to improve the quality of their lives. At the same time, I did not want that to be the only focus. I had informed Mike Butler at Amerikilts of the pending article when I ordered my Khaki AK, and he offered to give his viewpoints. If it helps to increase public awareness, and causes other men, disabled or not, to consider a kilt as a viable alternative, then it will have served its purpose.

My thanks to Mike for his contribution.

Nice article and I thought it showed you in a good light. Although I'm overweight and have a few heart problems, I've never been diagnosed with diabetes. Between the heart medicines and the depression medicines I get to take 11 pills each day. I've found the kilts to be relaxing and generally well accepted. I hope the paper does send it to AP so that it may be published nationally.

Darrell, Thanks for posting the article. You look wonderful on the front page and you really do justice to all of us. What a gentleman and a great ambassador for the kilted!

KiltedKnightYou're not alone Darrel. I too have type ll mellitus and in between waking and sleeping I take 14 different pills and I'm no stranger to pain. Pain wakes me almost every night but I guess that's all a part of aging for some of us folks.

You're not alone.........

Thanks for posting the article
