So all things Welsh were taught and church attended in and about our home in Welsh. The first ownership of a company I was part of with a couple of fellow photographers was opened on Saint David's Day 1959 because it was supposed to bring us "GOOD LUCK!" according to my Mom! :-) I don't know about the other lads, as I left and started my own company Mar 1 1964 and never looked back given all the assignments I was fortunate enough to receive during the future. In my youth during WW2 when I joined the 48th Highlander Regiment of Canada and started wearing a kilt my Mom was shocked.. However our formal last name "Grant" is Scottish so my Dad was very pleased as long as I didn't get sent off to that "DAMN WAR!" He having served in WW 1 with no affections towards anything concerning war of any kind. So if we have any other "Taffies" out there in LUGLAND? Here's wishing you all a great day! Oh by the way, the flower of the day is the "Daffodil!" cheers, Dr. ted
