Wooley's is pretty good. I was surprised how similar their custard was in taste and texture to ice cream. Of course, when you add fruit (like bananas and cherries) and chocolate sauce, everything's better! Well, maybe not everything, but you get the idea.

What time are most planning on getting there? Me and my lovely wife may attend, in civilian clothes, sad to say.... 6 weeks out and still no kilt.

SPC Boyd and his family are turning up at 4:45 pm. Ceremony starts at 5. Anytime before 5 is fine except for the musicians. If the musicians could be there at 4:40 pm, that would be grand.

Cheers, ColMac

To those who contributed or who can show up in person--Good on ye! Please take pictures and post them so the rest of us can share in it. I'll be with other athletes here in Michigan competing at the Saline Games. I'll make sure I circle up the veterans and have a toast to our newly kilted brother.

I don't know how my weekend is shaping up yet, but if I do randomly materialize on the day, I'll try to remember to bring the pipes. (Just a heads up) Unfortunately I can't commit for sure at this point.

Me and the Mrs. will be there to take pictures. **unkilted I might add.... 6 weeks and still waiting.

The musicians will be Bobby Bush the guitarist/singer and Lala (Bell?) a fiddler from the Celtic group Paddy Gone Wild. They will be at another function in Keller until about 4:45, although Bobby said they'd try to slip out early. But even so, 4:40 is highly doubtful.

The House of Boyd is unable to attend, but they are shipping me a box of Boyd-related goodies to be presented to Zach at the ceremony. I hope it gets here in time.

The big day is almost here. Saturday, 11 July, 5pm, at the Fox & Hound in downtown Fort Worth, Specialist Boyd (the pink boxer soldier) will finally receive his kilt amid much fanfare and merriment.

Just to clarify McMath's post, our local Boyds, especially SPC Zach Boyd, will be in attendence.

Cheers, ColMac
