Kentucky Tartan/Kilt - Need One - Want One

[Brave Liver]

It's a pretty cool order; lots of very famous and philanthropic people.

You are correct, one of the most notable... Sir Winston Churchill and of course me :-)

Secondly the Kentucky Colonel is an "honorary title" that comes from the Governor and Secretary of State, used to be kind of a big deal, but really its not anymore, hell I am one, so how elite could it possibly be??

Yeah, apparently being Phi Beta Kappa isn't as big of a deal either (to those in my generation, at least), but I still proclaim with pride that I am a member. S'all in what you make of it.

Good to meet you last night, Shawn! Ya missed the group photo, though. oop:

The Colonel thing is kind of a mixed bag. If it is given to someone who lives out of state, it is usually for doing something worthwhile. If given instate it almost always means nothing (a friend's wife got him declared a Col for his birthday a couple of years ago, and all it took was finding an existing Col to sponsor him).

Phi Beta Kappa is very cool, Dana! My grandfather was active in the Phi Beta Kappa all his life, in part because the headquarters are just down the street from his lifetime workplace, The College of William & Mary.

Awww man...sorry I missed that, would have been fun! Well as I continue my "quest" for the KY kilt, I am working on some others to at least tide me over, so hopefully can be in the next photo !

Pleasure making y'alls acquaintance and hope to see you out again soon!

CHEERS,
Shawn (of guess could say Col. Cox, ha ha ha hmm no...think Shawn will do)
