Today I met Hamish

It was a shame that Elaine and myself could'nt make it. We were both really disappointed. But I'm pleased everyone had a great time and I'm looking forward to seeing all the pics.

I couldn't agree more. We had the opportunity to meet Hamish and Dave W last year. Both were all around great guys. A lot of people on the kilt forums talk about trying to match Hamish's kilt count, but a better goal is to try and match his charm, sincerity, and class. You know when you have met a true gentleman, and both Hamish and Dave filled that role.

Hi Colin if we made PACO 10% as welcome as you guys did last year he will have lasting memories just like Ham and I. Lots of love to all our friends in BC.

If I can save up enough I'm going to bring my wife over to meet my BC fiends.

Any time Dave, anytime. We didn't even get you guys to the Okanagan for some of the great BC wines on the vineyard tours.

just great yarns men, I wish there were a few more of us about in my neck-o-the-woods. Good to see the proof in the pic. Dashing mob, and a good looking lass. What are the hose Ham's got on? They look neat.

I too have been the beneficiary of such graciousness. How much poorer we are in the States for not having many people with that kind of charm and respect for others.
