My grandfather passed away in 1994. Since then my mother has had the kilt he wore for the Masonic pipe band during the 1950's, plus all of the other accoutrements. It has been a sore spot between her and her sister about who should get it. My cousins and my sisters and I have all had our say in the matter. My stance is that my mother should get it, since my aunt was only a little girl (4-5 yrs old) when he was in the band and my mother was in her late teens and remembers the parades, games, and most importantly the practicine at home. My mother and my aunt have had enough. They have decided to use the material in the kilt to make something for everyone, but they cannot think of anything. They are fairly accomplished at sewing, but cannot come to any conclusions. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The tartan is Fraser, probably 13oz, 6 yards. It was made by Thomas Gordon and Sons, Glasgow in the early 1950's. Unfortunately it has been made unwearable by the moths who found it tastey and the mice who found it toasty...mostly the front apron...Grandpa just had all of that stuff in a carboard box in the attic.

Thanks,

T-Bone
