If you can, Peggy, I'd be beholden.  I'm of Appalachian roots, stranded on
the West Coast with family all passed.  I do also so enjoy the Scots that's
used here.  Welcome to our midst!

Hi Ron--



Now I have to say "Wow!"  What a wonderful welcome!  You and the Kahuna have
made my day.  Thank you.



I'm sure I'll have grammar and vocabulary questions for the Scots
Lawlanders, and perhaps we'll find a way to give the Appalachians a wee
nudge as well.



I'm excited about being a member of the list.  Thanks again and I'll be in
touch.



Regards,



Peggy

Subject: Introduction

If I may chime in again here, Peggy, let me officially introduce our Marsha
to you (and to whoever hasn't met her so far). Marsha has been with us for a
long time and has been one of the very supportive and definitely most
appreciative members, as has been Elsie from whom you heard today as well
and who has been with us for almost the entire ride (over 13 years!). There
are quite a few such great great people in the verbal arena, and you will
meet them as we go along.

You can meet several of them here, and this includes Marsha and Elsie:
http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/members.php

Some, including Marsha, are sharing some of their creativity in our gallery:

http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/

I particularly enjoy Marsha's poem "New Mown" (
http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown.php) which seem to me so very
evocative of the Lowlands and also very "sweetly" American, and this is why
I translated it into German (
http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/wilson_mown-de.php).

And being an avid student of Scots, you are no doubt familiar with the
website of Sandy (http://www.scotstext.org/) and Andy (
http://scots-online.org).

Sandy also has his own Scots nook in our gallery, complete with one of his
latest photos: http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/fleming.php

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
