Today I met Hamish

**Robert Lamb** · 16th July 06, 07:34 PM

Elva and I met Ham a few years ago when he was here in Ore a few years ago. What a wonderful meeting BUT Ham is a lot taller than he appears here on the I-net.
I only have 16 kiltes and I have trouble deciding day to day wich one to wear, but having 63 kiltes would have to a terrible burden to bare or is that bear.

It was a shame that Elaine and myself could'nt make it. We were both really disappointed. But I'm pleased everyone had a great time and I'm looking forward to seeing all the pics.

I couldn't agree more. We had the opportunity to meet Hamish and Dave W last year. Both were all around great guys. A lot of people on the kilt forums talk about trying to match Hamish's kilt count, but a better goal is to try and match his charm, sincerity, and class. You know when you have met a true gentleman, and both Hamish and Dave filled that role.

Hi Colin if we made PACO 10% as welcome as you guys did last year he will have lasting memories just like Ham and I. Lots of love to all our friends in BC.

If I can save up enough I'm going to bring my wife over to meet my BC fiends.

I too have been the beneficiary of such graciousness. How much poorer we are in the States for not having many people with that kind of charm and respect for others.
