Hello: I was born at a very early age in the little adiroundack town of Lake Placid in the state of New York, U. S. A. I was raised by my grandparents and I can well remember my Irish grandfather's great old songs and stories. Thank God for the opportunity to mingle with some real old drinking, fighting and fibbing men of the Isles. I was introduced to the taste of the pure at the wakes, yes we did have them laid out at home in those days. The old men loved to see a little lad's wrinkled face when he was treated to a teaspoon of Busmills. Thankfully, my intuition led me to marry a Scott (Nancy Fyfe) when the mating time came. Old ones said it wouldn't work, but that was forty-three years ago and bless their old hearts they are all dead and mom and I are still trucking. Our anniversary is today, Dec. 31. We settled in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, raised two hard fighting male bains and now have retired to enjoy the remainder of life and the beautiful Celtic culture that has grown up in this part of the U. S. A. Only thing is I can't get a good dish of Haggis around here. Greetings from Jim & Nancy Farley Fogelsville, Pa. U. S.A

Jim,

Howdy Neighbor (kind of). Have you ever been to the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem? What a great time that is. Down here in suburban Philly the only place to get Haggis is Sandys House of Scotland in Pineville. Its a wee store attached to the Pineville Post office. I mail order mine now. The last haggis I got from Sandy was, well, okay at best (we called it a Christmas Haggis, I swear it had cinnamon and nutmeg in it....).

Have you ever been to the Leather Corner Post Hotel? It's in Orefield. If you haven't been there, you should check it out. But remember to bring your boom-ba... biggrin.gif
