Santa

**Santa Wally** · 11th May 09, 09:14 AM

Yesterday, Mother's Day, in honor and memory (she passed away two years ago May 2) of my Mother, Maxine Wallace, I wore my Wallace kilt to visit my Dad in the assisted living facility where he now resides. Dad is now 91, a WW II vet, will be 92 in July. He enjoyed seeing my first kilt (just had it since March '09). My sister liked it as well. So did some of the other residents. A couple of ladies stopped to ask me or guess the name of the tartan.

After getting back home about 11:45, I enjoyed reading through the posts from around the world welcoming me to the this Forum. Thanks, glad to be here. I'm just a neophyte

to the Kilt World and this Forum.

Hey, Santa, welcome!

Where in the Twin Tiers are you located? Know about the Ithaca Games, if you're in NYS?

I'm about an hour and a half south of Ithaca, just into PA. Our oldest daughter is a graduate of Ithaca College, so we've made many trips there. Yesterday we were visited my Dad in Cortland NY.

I don't know about the Ithaca Games. I did see there was some in Cortland this summer, but we'll be away at that time. I might be going to the Scottish games in Welligton, OH June 27. Santa Kona, founder of Clan Claus is going to be there in a booth and I'd like to join him there.
