Small world James. My late mother was active in the Oceanside Eastern Star until she became too demented and frail to continue.

Thanks for the tips on the leatherneck tartan kilt. I'm wearing mine tomorrow in our local Veteran's Day Parade and have been trying to resolve which color hose/shirt....had been thinking either black or red...now navy enters the fray....

Kind of a three day Vet's binge this weekend with the Corps birthday, Veteran's Day, and a postponed Parade on "governement" Veteran's Day.
