    Some nice photos of the "Eeks & Squeeks" there, Terry!

    For those who may be unaware, HRH Prince Michael of Kent is a nephew of the Martyred Tsar Nicholas II.

    Some excellent "Eek & Squeek" history may be found here:

    http://www.windsorscottish.com/pl-eksr-history.php

    And the entire web site is worth perusing -- if only every Scottish diaspora community could do what Windsor, Ontario has done here!
