    Howdy from Texas

    I have already told a little about myself in my nebie question thread (was supposed to be "newbie" but I guess I couldn't spell then).

    I am new to this board and new to wearing kilts. My Great Grand Father wore his kilt and played the pipes though. I only knew him for a short time - he died when I was 8.

    I have always been curious and proud of our family's gaelic ancestry (both Irish and Scottish), but I haven't seriously thought about wearing the kilt until my friends and I started the Black Watch Scenario Paintball Team. For those that are curious - we have their official permission to use the name, colors, symbols, tartan etc.

    In December 2007 my wife and I joined a local Celtic Heritage Society and we have learned a lot about traditions. We are very active and are looking forward to seeing what the future holds. We are planning to hold a festival later this year.

    Biographical stuff:
    Real Name: Vic Morris
    Age 33 (9/5/74)
    Married to Christy Morris (2/14/97)
    Native to East Texas - Longview.
    We have lived in Texas all of our lives except for 2.5 years when we lived in Oregon City, OR.
    Work: Interstate Batteries

    Drinks of choice: Baileys & Drambuie

    Well, that's about it for me . . .

    Thankee fer readin'

    from the Valley of the Sun!

    Hope you post some pics of your paintball team.

    I had the pleasure of living in the Bluebonnet state for over 3 years from '84-'87 - about 2 1/2 yrs in San Antonio & about 9 mos. in the Big D area (Heber to be exact). I never made it over to Longview, but the few times I drove through east Texas (on I-10) I was surprised by all the pines. Is it wooded like that around Longview?

    Welcome.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
