    Met our new College President Today...

    Well actually she's the interim president holding down the fort until we go through the hiring process for the permanent position...

    I walked in to her formal reception (kilted of course) she look me up and down, smiled and said "It looks like we have a Scot in the room" I smiled and introduced myself then she talked about her last college where a pipe band lead the graduation procession and what a wonderful tradition it was. after that it was off to other topics - not an eyebrow raised or an odd glance from anyone.

    I am one lucky guy!

    Alan,

    You are assuming it was the situation that made it a good experience.

    It might be that debonair Phil can really pull off wearing a kilt!

    What a great experience and memory to store away (for those irritating times when you might run into less accepting folks)!
