I am not sure that anyone is planning this far ahead, Jamie. I provided the date early so that folks who might be interested could make pencil entries in their diaries now, to be acted upon later.
I still am so disappointed I couldn't arrange to make it down to Palm Springs when you were visiting California last year.

Well, I expect to be there again in October of this year! In fact, it might just become an annual visit (provided I remain in Jim's good books - he's my pal who has invested in a small property there!)

Ham,
Let us know as soon as you have set dates! I, and I suspect a few of the Northern California rabble, won't let a second opportunity go by to meet you.
Cheers
Jamie

Like Hamish, I keep all my kilt pins on the kilt. I have worn pins on my suit and sport coat lapels for years. When I started collecting kilt, moved some of these to the upper aprons. Most are not traditional sword or knife shaped but I'm not a very traditional man.
Here are a few (saved to gif format to make them friendlier for dial up folks). Enjoy.




This is the beautiful New Hampshire State Tartan. Pin is on a Black Economy but I sometimes wear the tie.

Sorry if I made your computer CRASH!!

My father's USAF wings. I remember seeing these in Dad's dresser drawer as child.
I don't know much about them. My father flew seven low-level daylight precision bombing missions as a tail gunner in B-17s, but very rarely talked about his wartime experiences, even when queried.
They wings have developed a heavy dark patina over the decades (the photo below is a faithful representation). I assume they're pewter or similar metal; whatever they are, they're pleasingly heavy, and appropriately sized for a kilt pin. I think I'll leave them as is - unpolished.
Incidentally, that's a picture of my father up there as my avatar. Handsome devil, wasn't he?
