ANST - Paying the toll

[Weiszbrod, Barbara Ann (Barbara)** CTR **]

Thank you,  Timo, for helping me see the true gifts that were given us at
the War.  

Their Majesties asked me if I had any fun at the War, and my first answer
was "no".  It seemed that all my time was spent setting up, getting things
out of the rain, and tearing down.  Now I read your post and you remind me
of the good times and companionship that is gained in adverse conditions.
That is the gift and the reason that we play.

Once, at a crown tourney where hail, rain and tornadoes almost took the day
a friend said to me, while we were standing in ice cold water up to our
ankles "some where there are people sitting warm and dry by the fire,
drinking hot chocolate, reading a book...and they will have nothing to tell
their grandchildren".
