Well, I've been lurking for months. I finally decided to post

I live in Muskegon, MI. Muskegon is on the west side of the state and known for being on both Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. Its a city in size, but not culture.

I have been wearing my Black Workmans' Utilikilt for about 4+ years now. My good friend and I found out about UK while watching The Screen Savers, then he gifted himself, another friend and myself one for christmas, thanks to a being hit my a truck . That was while we were living in Marquette, MI.

For some reason it never crossed my mind to come looking for a forum for the kilted. Until that is I ran into the UK booth at Gencon last year. One of the guys manning the booth suggested I join the yahoo group, so I did. I about Xmarks from there and came over and joined up. I haven't posted because usually someone else had already said what I was thinking.

Over this past Holiday season my maternal grandfather passed away. However, while at the services I was able to collect some information to get me started on my geniology. He was a McMurray, scotch-irish and I am interested in knowing more about my past. I also have some Cherokee from that side.

I am also posting a pic in another thread.
