    16 years in the waiting

    Hell-o all,

    After 16 years a friend has moved back to the Denver area, and bought a new house at the old airport. Of course she had an open house and I attended. We have not seen each other in several years (before Kilt), even though communication was flowing.

    Well I walk in and her son whom I haven't seen in even longer, of course was there (he lives in the Denver area). Who I found out (along with his mother) is starting to wear Kilts. It was nothing new to his wife, but new his mom and myself.

    I told him all about this place and how nice you all are, when you are behaving, and information on the many avenues of Kiltdom that are out there.

    Yes he might pop in to say HI and even put in a question or two to all of us.

    Now it gets even better, his Uncle was also interested in Kilts and his wife (my friends sister) walks up and says that he would look awesome in a Kilt. He took the information, but may not pop in for awhile.

    Never underestimate long time friends and getting them Kilted.

    Great story. Lots of kilt addicts-in-waiting out there.

    Glen,

    What I like about your story is the fact that even though you and your friend hadn't seen each other in years the bond of friendship was still there. The wheel turned and your friend is now back. I have friends like that, those that have moved to the other side of the country. We haven't seen each other in person in far too long. But we write, email, or give each other the odd call now and then. We remain friends. In a an ever changing world the facts that the bonds of friendship stay strong is very comforting.

    Cheers

    Jamie
