Robert Burns 249th Birthday Celebration

Last night, Mary and I attended the local Scottish-American Society's celebration of Robert burns 249th birthday. It was a good night, complete with Pipes & Drums of the Caledonian Highlanders, Irish dancers from Ring of Kerry dance school and Pat Kane, a local Irish entertainer. On top of that there was the presentation of the Haggis and the recitation of the Address to a Haggis written by Robert Burns.

We brought George Eisinger, a local retired Pathologists and also at our table were Dick and Marilyn Kozacko (friends from the Polish Arts Club), Dr. & Mrs. Forrest. Once Mary learned that Mrs. Forrest had recently returned from Poland, she pumped her for all sorts of information about Poland (probably the subject of a future trip for us). I talked to Dr. Forrest about England as he had been stationed there when he was in the Air Force Medical Corps.

Plans continue to gel for our May 2008 trip to England and Germany with only a couple of reservations yet to be made.
