    Not everyone would get the comments Ron gets in a kilt. I think he's cracked the code in terms of being "who he is in a kilt." I know that when I started off, I was more hesitant. What would people say? Was I going to have to throw down with people over this? At least get into some verbal sparring? Now I'm a lot more comfortable in a kilt, socially speaking. Plus, let us not forget, Ron's still a Marine, and his bearing and poise DO make a difference.

    You guys reminded me that last time I did this gig in October the same thing happened...it was the guys who made positive comments.

    My sense is they wanna wear a cool kilt too, just don't have the funds or the juevos yet. Hope I'm sending the message that its okay to wear a kilt.

    The other thing I noticed during the rush between classes was a LOT of looks...."the look"...that double take...course, I'm a "stranger" on campus...someone different in their midst....

    And, there was this one lovely teacher lady who gave me a big smile...oh were I 30 years younger lass....
