    Quick Reply to Riverkilt:
    The Hopi Thunderbird Kilt Pin is great. I have a sister-in-law that is Hopi and takes her daughters to the Reservation every year so they don't forget who they are. One of her daughters is going to Ben Lomond High here in Ogden. She's in the school's pipe band as a drummer. She will be interested in the Kilt Pin from her native culture.
    BTW, I really should give our thanks to the RAF and those that serve. My father was a pilot and he talked quite a bit about how the Army Air Force and the RAF worked together during WW2.

    How cool is that! Hopi is so beautiful and the dances (that pahanas are allowed at) are beautiful and often fun.

    And for sure on the AAC and RAF cooperation. The first fighter pilots for the AAC in England and North Africa were American boys transfered over from the RAF in Sept 42 after the AAC got town. My fatherīs letters home indicate how happy they were with a great increase in pay upon joining the AAC.

    You mentioned that you are wearing evening dress but getting married during the day. Traditionally evening dress is usually worn in the evening. A black argyle would be more conventional during the day or in Cyprus a white argyle or indeed given the temperature you might be more comfortable in the Jacobean shirt from the start. It would also look better in Kolosi Castle. I like the stable belt buckle and black leather belt - I do that too.

    Say hello to Mom's for me.
    The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
    'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
    He keeps his side arms awful,
    And he leaves them all about,
    Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
