History of the House of Scotland
Oh, I know, I know. You're probably asking "Gary, if you were going to spend all this time and effort on something, why didn't you do something which could make you some money?" Well, I asked myself that a couple of times. Originally, it was my idea to put together a 2 or 3 page history handout that could be given to new members. But the more I got into it, the more I realized that sixty years of history could not be encapsulated into such a brief format. Furthermore, it just wouldn't be justice to let all of this history escape forever. And since all of this time had gone by and no one had composed anything before for the benefit of the entire organization, I figured it was high time that it be done. When I was a teenager, the House of Scotland sparked the interest of my older brother and I in our Scottish heritage, and I guess I figured that it was about time to try and pay it back.
Even more importantly, I guess, I figured we had better get a lot of the good deeds and accomplishments of the House of Scotland's members down on paper before it got away from us and faded into the past, unnoticed. I hope that this is only the beginning, and that our written history is continually carried forward on a regular basis, documenting all of the wonderful things members will accomplish in the future.
