    Made the Paper!

    I arrived at work Monday afternoon still warm from the St. Andrews' Dinner and the Kirkin of the Tartan service and was greeted by a lot of sly smiles. I actualy got out on the floor before I found out what was up, it seems that some pictures were being taken for the Fargo Forum and they maneged to catch me in one. I'm on the front page of the Metro/State section. Go to www.in-forum.com and do a search for "Scottish celebration" that should take you to the article and the picture. On the whole it's not the best quality picture but it is clear enough to make out a blond wearing a silver tie and kilt with jacket.

    BTW the kilt hose that I'm wearing were knited by my dear wife for the occasion got plenty of complements on them. The jacket I'm wearing was altered by her following the instruction in Thompsons' book on the kilt.(brag-brag Proud of that lady. ).

    Hank I tried to enter this into ay gallery but can't seem to pull it off --my ten thumbs I guess .

    Hope the picture doesn't cause any heart-attacks!

    Thanks to All!

    May all your blessings be the ones you want and your friends many and true.

    Hi, Bill- Nice to meet you! To direct to an on-line image, first secondary click on the picture and select "properties" from the pop-up menu. Copy the file path and paste it in your post after first clicking on "IMG" in the xmarks toolbar. After pasting the link click on "IMG*" to bookend it. Voila!

    That's pretty cool, for sure, don't ya know.

    Kilts in Fargo. The last time I thought of Fargo, I was watching the movie with the pregnant Sheriff and some guy getting thrown into a chipper!

    I think you're representing the Dakotas MUCH better!
