    Been A While

    Hello Everybody!


    It has been a while since I last posted nothing special has been going on just LIFE. I have checked in now and again to what deviltry you guys have been up to but haven't had time to be more than an observer.
    To make up for it here's a link to our Fargo-Moorhead St. Andrews page where if you will go to the members page you will see a picture of yours truly and Pete who served at one time in the Royal Marines a wonderful guy who now speaks "Colonial English" (think an Austrailian like accent) after many years here in the States. The picture after you enlarge it (you click on it to do that) gives a great picture of the McNeil Tartan (My Wifes') but a not so good picture of my stupid grin ( ah well everybody needs comic relief now and again) .

    The link is http://st-andrews-society.tripod.com (hope that works!)

    Bye for now--Y'all take care!

    Bill

    If that does'nt work try fargo moorhead st andrews society as a search and yiu should be able to find it.

    Correction! I was mistaken, Pete was not in the Royal Marines he was a member of the Royal Tank Regiment.
    He had two brothers who were. OOPS!

    Thanks, Bill!

    Bill -- just had a look around the site -- grand! The St. Andrew's Society of Fargo-Moorehead seems to be doing good things in your neck o' the woods; always good to see! I'll send it to our web master and see if he can add a link on our page, http://www.springfieldscots.org.

    Cheers,

    Todd

    Thanks Todd for the fix (uh that doesn't sound quite right does it? ) but you know what I mean.

    Just to avoid some confusion about the picture I'm the s-h-o-r-t guy on the left with the blonde hair. I thought I'd dye it brown once upon a time but that would only be artificial intelligence .

    Our St. Andrews is a widespread group with people coming from as far away as Minot for the dinner, for me it is a 100 mile drive but no one minds the trip and a good time is had by all.

    Welcome back, from another McNeill ( Thats the way we spell it). My father's family are from County Tyrone. But we are all "really Scots'.

    Hi Everyone!

    Just wanted to get this back at the portal and call your kind attention to the correction that I've made to my original post.

    Thanks
