Hi Sara, and thanks so much... yes, I agree about XMTS, there must be something in the water around here, and whatever it is, it's wonderful.
Always good to hear from you, cousin!

His wardrobe reflects his tough circumstances, so we decided to have the shop suit him up... just told him that there was a gift for him at the shop. He went in and was surprised when he was measured for custom shirt, suit and all the necessary accessories. He was measured up yesterday. The store owner was so inspired, he's decided to do this for two deserving students a year on his own dime...on and on it goes.

Well done lad, well done indeed. If more took the time to do what is happening here all because of a single act of kindness we'd all be better for it. And yet, I have a strong suspicion that you have done this out of the goodness of your heart, and not out of a need for recognition or thanks.

The new kilt looks great congratulations, yet another example of the generosity of the members of the board. It's wonderful that you were able to pass it on.

Thanks for that, but I think we all have it in us. And it really helps when someone helps kickstart our better impulses by making a gesture like Rocky's.

I agree that Rocky and crew are great. I just ordered a hat from them and I got an email from Rocky the day I ordered it telling me that he was out of that size, but he had one in the next size up and that it would be four weeks until the size I requested would come in. He asked if I wanted to switch. The fact that he emailed me himself and offered to switch it without any hassle made me a customer of his for life.
There truly are a great number of people here and I hope to live up to the example you fine people have laid before me.
