Congratulations and thanks; Jean MacKaracher-Watson on a great Job weaving together a lively and entertaining evening with a dinner we all enjoyed. Tartan Day 2024 and the Federation’s hosted Tartan Day Dinner totally surprised Elsie and me, to receive Rick Grant’s (https://www.hfxcelticfest.ca) President of the Halifax Celtic Festival, Certificates of Recognition. I freely admit I shed a tear and more of pride and admiration on seeing Elsie’s work and contributions over the years recognized with her being awarded the Federation for Scottish Culture in Nova Scotia’s (https://fscns.ca) SCOT of the YEAR 2024 Award. Being at my Lady’s side over the years I’ve seen firsthand how freely she gives towards life’s passions and our Scottish Heritage is a Passion Elsie freely embraces. Again, Congratulations and Thanks, Jean Watson, Tom Wallace, Rick Grant.

Elsie’s achievements speak highly of the motivational support I’ve received over the years and along our lifelong shared adventures and passions. Love You More Sweetheart.
