    not your average alumni review piece

    Thought all ya'll would get a kick out of the following short piece in Hamilton College's recent Alumni publication "200 Days in the Life of the College"

    http://www.hamilton.edu/magazine/200days/7/169

    You'll recognize a certain famous XMark gentleman's kilt in the main photo....

    Love the title they chose for the article - the title actually refers to another X-Marker!

    Great little article Barb. Here is another photo, I'm partial to this one

    Nice mention! You sound like a very busy woman - you're tireless!
    Your kilt making reputation precedes you. I'm relatively new to this forum and have often heard many sing your praises. Your art and craft are inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

    Interesting snapshot article highlighting your many accomplishments. Congratulations!

    The tartan in the 2nd picture looks like a Douglas Weathered or Reproduction. The tartan in the picture McMurdo posted looks like the US Air Force Lady Jane under black light, ... just kidding.

    Great smile, by the way.
