[Ansteorra] First Event

[HE Chiang]

Agnarr, are you sure it was that far back? Because I started playing in 1990 
or there abouts, and Master Hakon and Mistress Anna started only about 4 
years before I did. I also seem to vaguely remember the event you are 
talking about, was when they were first trying to get a group started in 
Snyder.
Chiang, who may get hit in the head a lot but still occasionally remembers 
things
