My byname is Planter and I went to Ladyloan and the High School. I was Head Boy at the High School, an appointment that I am still taking flak for! Actually it was pretty much a fun undertaking as I recall. Anyway, I moved to the USA in 1991, I am married to Valerie and we have two children, Emily and Laura.

My parents are in Arbroath in Union Street East and my brother lives in England.

I bring the family over around once a year usually in the November timeframe as it''s a Thanksgiving holiday here.

Feel free to email me.
