Stefan's Files for Septembe

[Mark Harris]

Greetings from Stefan li Rous,

Here is the article for September on my SCA Rialto Files:

--------------------------------------------

A Blending of the Past and Present       

Here is the list of my featured SCA Rialto files for this month. I have 
files for all interests. If none of the files below interest you, ask for 
a copy of my complete file list. If you would like a copy of any of these 
files, just let me know. I can print them on paper for you, copy them 
to a computer disk or send them by email.

Those of you who have World-Wide-Web (WWW) access can get these files at:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html, although it may be a week
or two before the newest files are online.

Here are the new files that have been added this past month:

West-rapier-msg      The banning of fencing by HRM Jade and Juana.

To provide a counterpoint to the comments of their HRMs of the West who 
consider fencing a "disease" and "emulating the practices of street thugs",
I would like to mention the files in my COMBAT-RAPIER section:
