Barbara:
Ach! MacTavish, the thought is sweet but I don't think I would fit in your sporran.   ;D

What a sweetheart you are to think of putting Clan Thom(p)son in your will, what an honor you bestow on us! 

Wish you could be here for the Glasgow, Kentucky Highland Games last of May, first of June so we all could meet.

MACTAVISH,

"LETS YOU AND I ALWAYS BE BROTHERLY FRIENDS AND PLEDGE THAT OUR FAMILIES MEET".  --'Tis done!

I'm hoping that I will sometime soon (soon being a relative term here) have get over there to see where my family came from.  I keep on plugging away at it, and feel that's it's just beyond my grasp.  My son is  just shy of 17 and will be in his last year of high school next year, after that it's either college for 4 years or the military for 3, and then college.  He and I are very close, and I wish you have the same relationship with your son as I have with mine. And I hope you don't have the same relationship with your wife as I had with mine.  After 15 years of marrage, I've been divorced now for 8 years. His mother and I are pretty good friends, but I won't bring her.

I received "Culloden" by Prebble today. Again, I like the way this man writes history

In the next 50 days I have a lot of travelling to do.  April 3 & 4 I'll be in Washington DC to attend a funeral at Arlinton National Cemetery for a Colorado airman shot down & killed in Viet Nam in '68.  His body was recovered and identified through DNA.  The army is flying about 120 of us Vets out to Washington on C-130's to visit the Viet Nam Memorial on Thurs and attend the funeral on Fri.

April 19 & 20 I'm riding down to Taos, New Mexico to be inducted into the Vetrans of Viet Nam Motorcycle Club.  I'll be a "patch holder" which means something to hard-core bikers. I'll explain the whole thing sometime on a post.

And then May 17-31 I'll be on Run for the Wall from Colorado to Washington D.C.  Theres about 10 of us riding together in our own group rather than with the 300-400 in the pack.  We don't feel it's too safe riding with a group of that size.  So we're going to shadow them acrost the country to Washington, Visit the Wall again, and then take our time getting back home.  Gasoline is $3.50 a gallon now, probably close to $4.00 by then, glad the bike gets 40+ miles per gallon.

And I'll probably be getting the Dress Blue Thomson kilt a little latter this summer--but I don't think I'll be riding the bike with it--it increases the need for protection on so many levels.

All the Best
