    my son in an article on BBC news america

    http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-27891460. He is the blond holding the stone. These were taken at the costa mesa games. I know everyone matures but it constantly surprises me how old he looks. Maybe because he's the baby and all my girls look younger than they are but with him people think he's at least a junior in college not high school.

    And a handsome lad he is! - a chip off the old stone.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Interesting article and a wide variety of photos....it appears he was trying to capture more than just the stereotypical image that many assume, and many the younger generations sometime sport...

    I enjoyed the article, the pics are a good slice of what I see at the games.

    And your strapping lad is really that young? Gadzooks!

    I just read this article today. I thought it was very interesting how it portrayed the loyalty of Americans to their Scottish heritage. Made me feel a proud.

    I also liked the article about Scots haggis. It seems there is a big push to have it imported to the States once again.

    Just think, you knew him when. Great picture of him within a great article.

    Happy that you shared it with us, as any proud Papa would have done, and should have.
