ANST - Tournaments Illuminated

[Betty Rittmeyer (Bettina von Haschenfeld)]

Fond Greetings to the Good Gentles of the Known World,

I am busily preparing to leave for Pennsic this weekend, but wanted to take
this opportunity to encourage any would-be writers to consider submitting
material to TI.  I will be holding office hours at Pennsic on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday August 16, 18, and 20, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
at the Town Hall.  I look forward to meeting many of you there.

A version of the Wish List that follows will appear in the Autumn issue of
TI.  The list is not all-inclusive; rather, it is intended to give you a
general idea of the kinds of articles I'd like to see.  If you have an idea
for an article and you don't see it here, please don't hesitate to contact
me.  I'd be happy to discuss your ideas with you.

Your Servant,

Betty Rittmeyer, Editor
