New around here with several questions

Downix,

Hi to you and your wife. My first time kilted was directly due to being a Christy. I rented one on a trip to Scotland in memory of my cousin who did quite a bit of work on our family genealogy and always interested in the family. He was working to follow up on extensive work that my grandfather did (we were forcibly moved to northern Ireland & my ancestors decided that moving on to Boston was a good idea.) I wanted to do something to honor him since he'd died two years earier so I rented a kilt for a day. Which lead to my wanting to get married in the family tartan, only to discover what those colors are in that tartan. Would make a great safety jacket but not much else. Luckily the clan tartans are quite nice.

Scott,

Congratulations on shrinking as well. It's tough work though and much slower than I expected, but rewarding. A new kilt is helping as a goal though. At the current rate, I should be back to where I should be in about September or so.

Steve,

I'm looking forward to the announcement. I'm a few months away from my weight goals (probably early fall) and I don't want to order anything before then but I'd definitely be interested in what the new model is and maybe an additional kilt as well.

My wife had no information on her family beyond immediate. Her mother a Boyette, her father a Smith. Not until his mother died did we find out her maiden name, Christy, and that her parents died in TN.
