AND

Great to see you and talk at the SASP Board meeting. And really great to see you Paul and Sarah Jean - since the 1970s and SCD.

Hi Scott,

We're doing well here in Portland. We are just back from a week-long 'Thanksgiving' family gathering in Oxford, UK where our daughter Claire and son Kenneth live. Our other son Kyle flew over from Newfoundland.

And next week we head to Newfoundland for meetings and Christmas. Claire will join us later.

Tomorrow we go to Gerry and Mary Lou's for Gerry's birthday. Your brother may be there as well.

I still spend a fair bit of time working on MacLeod 'genetic' genealogy - all fun stuff. I presume I mentioned that I went to Raasay back in September and even gave a talk!

All the best,

Mark

Have a good time at Gerry's and Mary Lou's - and please wish him a happy birthday from us! Was a little concerned about your last email outburst (as I continue to seek a life partner with whom to begin a family)  ... and am also very concerned about my brother Sandy's mental health and possible psychopathology and possible patricide and other related mental illness (in a curiously Maine cultural way ... echoes of our grandfather Gordon K MacLeod's personality speculatively, since I never met the man) ... 

Will probably only be doing a Zoom Xmas with my mother at Longwood Community (my mother's new home of 2.75 years), and then at her friend Chris Michaels' place, at 5th Avenue and Neville Street, caddy corner across from the room where my father died from his 2 subdural hematomas (and I was in his room) ... in the interest of my and all of our safety, - and in this asylum place in calling for abolishing the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex and drug industries and their latent networks of violence, and related whistleblowing and calling of the police. And see below ... 

Your family is lucky, Mark! (Am still fairly impoverished, and in seeking to get MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch off the ground over the last 15 years).

Happy genealogy (with Ancestry .com +), Mark!  

Regards, abolitionally, Friendly and family greetings (and in thinking of your dad, Bruce, and mine ... who both won't be able to benefit from possible aging reversal and longevity genetic drug therapies that may be coming along),

Scott

Hi Scott.

Lyn

Hi Lyn, thanks for your email. And thanks, all, for the opportunity to attend the Board Meeting for the St Andrew's Society, Pittsburgh. But the previous email, Lyn, in this thread is partly about Scottish Drumming, and regarding and to SASP's Dale McLeod, (and not gnipip, in reverse) ... and the previous one is not all that long either  ... and is understandably quite understandable. (Sorry you lost your Pittsburgh son to smoking!). And will reach out to SASP directory folks with an inquiry per your thinking, Lyn. Thank you! Seeking also to inquire with the SASP about possible interest in many of the ~ 17 people last night's SASP board meeting if they could become interested in all becoming involved and or Board members of Scotland Work World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland - from treasurer (yours / OURs at SASP?) to president of the WUaS Board (Paul - might you be interested ... and regarding the WUaS Corp in Scotland and re Scottish Americans in Pgh and in the USA too?) to builders of courseware re Scottish Gaelic possibly and the Scots' language, (Liz?) ...and for free WUaS CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric degrees for Scottish Americans, and for Scots too (a number of people at the SASP meeting could explore focusing the development of this) ... and maybe Scottish genealogy at WUaS (Pat?) and Scottish history, and law (Ken?), and singing of Scottish cantaireachd (Scottish singing to transmit orally the word I dare not write with you reading ... gnipip, in reverse ... for John and Susie Park's grandchildren? ... and Pat's 4 generations of descendants? ... and many others' descendants there?) ... perhaps even engaging the Suzuki method for musical instruments in brand new ways for singing - 

https://suzukiassociation.org/about/suzuki-method/ - and Scottish-wise (if not for gnipip, again in reverse, since you are simply not interested in this) 

 - and for kids with parental involvement esp. (per this interesting overview of the Suzuki method above), and creatively  ... and for Scottish Country Dancing courseware (Paul and Sarah Jean?) ...

An item for the SASP board meeting in Feb on 2/1/23 at the Atria in Monroeville or Murrysville (somewhat Scottish names in themselves:) ...?

There is much opportunity at World Univ & Sch and especially if longevity genetics drugs emerging facilitate us living beyond for example 122 years of age ... (eg Board members on the Silicon Valley biggest 150 companies were earning $189,000 / year per a report I heard and publication I received in the Stanford Law School  about 10 years ago from Mark Lonergan's group which I heard about in a Stanford Law group for Board members' ... monthly meeting) ... 

As Aye, Hold fast, best wishes, nary a word about gnipip, in reverse, Friendly greetings,

Scott
