I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and spent time with family and friends. Although it is winter and parts of North America are cold and snowy, some areas of the country are already beginning the Highland Game Season. Our Regent Marc Hitchins from Florida has been busy; he has been involved with a couple of Highland Games already. I also have sad news to report. We recently lost Frances Crews who was our Regent in Washington State. Frances and her companion Gary Cosgrove attended many games over the years (as many as 10 to 12 per year) and represented Clan Douglas very well. I talked with Gary and there will be a special memorial for Frances during the Tacoma Highland Games June 23rd, 2018. This year the Clan Douglas Society will elect new officers. We have had one person step up and volunteer for the position of Clan Treasurer to replace Shirley Douglas who will be retiring after many years of service to Clan Douglas.
