Bill - welcome to the forum. I took a look at your website. It's brilliant! Great site!

I look forward to seeing more posts.

Hi Bill! I thought I already posted this, but then I realized that I got distracted by your website, and forgot to post. Oops!

Anyways, here's a warm welcome from Idaho.

[Donnie]

Welcome Bill to Kiltaholics Anon. I mean the forum!

[Rigged]

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I spent a couple of days reading messages on this group and felt an affinity for the community here.

Graham,
It seems that the only other pictures of me kilted are from my wedding. Maybe this weekend I'll get Sherri to take some photos of me in each of the kilts.

I'm glad you guys like my website.

Bubba,
Sherri and I passed through Wisconsin on honeymoon to U.P. Michigan. We had to stop for some of that famous cheese and I got a Minnetonka fold-up hat. Typical tourists.

Rufus,
I haven't been to your town, but Coeur d'Alene is beautiful. I was there in the late 1970s. Is the Dew Drop Inn still there? Good, cheap breakfast.

Murphy,
I'm from Pittsburgh, PA but I don't know where Coatesville is.

Graham,
I have a friend in Tasmania -- a photographer named Tony Ryan.

Donnie,
I've never been through the Carolinas, or to New Jersey, Calico Jack.

Vince,
Seattle is a great town. I've spent quite a bit of time there on business. Made it up to Vancouver, B.C., but never been to Ontario, Phil H and Blu.

Bikercelt1,
I don't know where Battleground is, but I've been through your state and spent a very nice couple of weeks in Index, between Monroe and Bering. The snow-capped mountains and crystal clear rivers are amazing. Nice people there.

XCop,
I spent a week on Kauai. It was great being there on the off-season. I got to experience the Kauai Koma (a state of blissful relaxation). If you ever get over there, give my regards to the gang at the Tradewinds Bar.

GMan,
I only passed through Denver, so I didn't get to see much. That was many years ago too.

Thanks again for the welcome. I have to get back to studying.

Bill,

You really do get around I cannot wait to hear more about your kilting experience.

Bill, better late than never in sending my welcome also. So greetings from the Dallas Texas area and while I only got a fast chance to check out your web site it had some interesting info. I look forward to going back and spending some more time there.

Dave, Richard,

It's a pleasure meeting you.

Richard,
My son's mother is from Yoakum. I've never been to Texas myself. I've been told I would like it there. I love horseback riding, beaches, good music, bar-b-que and chili, and don't mind heat and dust. I hear Texas has lots of all of those things.

Dave,
I've passed through Maryland a couple of times on the way to Washington, D.C. That was many years ago and I don't remember much about it.

Bourbonnais - sounds like a rich, tasty sauce. I've never been there, but I did spend an interesting evening in Chicago's South Side. It's much like where I grew up in Pittsburgh.

I love to cook, btw, so maybe we can trade recipes. I love squid and just bought a book of squid recipes. One of my favorite dishes is Calamari Vinaigrette.

I'm working on perfecting a roasted beef cubes with honey and walnuts. I haven't got the timing right so the walnuts toast without getting soggy.

On a sad note, I just heard that Julia Childs died today.
