    My One Minute of Fame

    I wore my Old Lang Syne (Grey) Kilt and Argyll jacket to Church this morning and afterwards I was shopping in the PX here in Vilseck, Germany. A lady stops me and asks if there is something special going on here today because of the kilt. I say no, I just like to wear it sometimes on Sundays. (I just got it while on leave back in the US a couple of weeks ago).

    Turns out she is a reporter for the Bavarian News, our local military community newspaper. She has a camera in her purse and takes my picture, along with taking the basic information. She thinks it will be in the paper in a couple of weeks.

    It's not like 15 minutes of fame, because the circulation here is pretty small, but it may help raise awareness of kilts in the area. I know of possibly 2 others that have kilts, but I haven't seen them wearing them yet.

    If the article comes out, I'll post it.

    In theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.

    Good pics, thanks. Like the sweaters.

    Sounds like brother Steve has a story to tell when he's back in the world.
