Burns' Nicht Dinner & Dance, 21 January 2006

January began as a sad month.	Gary Morse was missed as we celebrated the birthday of Robert Burns.

David Sutherland, just weeks after a combat tour in Iraq, piped in the haggis.	Tom McMasters was our McMaster of Ceremonies (left). His tap-dancing and singing skills were applauded. SSSA President Jack Cunningham welcomed us (right).

The massed pipes of the San Antonio Pipes and Drums marched in (left) and serenaded us with skill and power. (Photos by JC Miller)
