Congratulations and best wishes Steve. My wife and I still hope to make it to Canada in the future, and if you are ever down this direction drop me a line or call I'd gladly buy you a pint.

Congratulations Steve!

I had hoped to make it to your shop at some point when I next make it to the west coast. Looks like that won't happen at this point but you never know!

All the best in the future and many thanks for all the knowledge you share with the forum!

Looking forward to the book!

Steve, I tip my Balmoral as a gesture of appreciation to you for your significant contribution to the kilt and our community of kilt wearers. I sweep it off my head in recognition of this momentous announcement in wishing you and Bobbie all the best in the next big chapter of your lives. I look forward to the day our paths will cross.

Congratulations. Here is to a long and fun filled retirement.

Thank you for being a great part of the kilting world. Your presence and guidance is appreciated.

Best wishes with the new stage of adventure Steve. I have only been on the X-Marks forum a short while and it is very evident that you have created a special resource for people interested in all things ‘kilty’ to enjoy.

Congratulations Steve on deciding on the next phase of your life. The important thing is to keep busy and I know you will. I retired almost two years ago. Looking at what I am doing now in retirement I don't know how I had time to go to work.

I wish you the best.

Congratulations Steve!
Being retired now going on 13 yrs - let me give you the first thing you need to know; when you're asked now that your retired when do you get out of bed?
The proper answer - when I feel like it! I'll miss our conversations you're one of the few people who knows anything about the area I live in. I loved the story about the two boat builders who sailed down the Susquehanna River. Wishing you and your beloved nothing but God's peace and joy!!!!
