He does seem to like those hose quite a bit. (can't blame him a bit) There are a few pics of him on the Campbell society site wearing them to match the dress his wife is wearing.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

That tradition continues in Virginia. When I was a kid, my grandfather was Big Turpin, my uncle (who was significantly larger) was Little Turpin, and my younger brother was Least Turpin.

The tradition continues in Pennsylvania too - my grandfather, uncle, and cousin were/are all named Lawrence. My uncle is Larry, and my cousin is Little Larry. My grandfather was neither Lawrence nor Larry - he was Red Robertson.

I should have remembered this: one of my MacGregor forebears was named Walter Gregg. His branch was fairly prolific, and thus I number my cousins in the dozens; yea, even to the sixth degree (e.g. 1/64 consanguinity).
There is a wonderful photograph taken in my grandfather's yard, of 7 male Greggs of varied surnames. Every single one of them was a Walter! but perhaps half were called something else.

To get back on track, here is a pic of me semi-formally in my Campbell Ancient/BW ancient/Grand Hunting ac (depending on where you wear it ) and my brother in his SWK Heavyweight "Campbell Modern"
