[Ansteorra] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 9, Issue 20

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings Sandra,

That is a good point. I've told of similar stories but I haven't  
thought of telling them specifically to alter the concerns of people  
about this strange, freaky group I'm in.

I know of a number of other stories, some first hand, that aren't in  
here, but here is a collection of stories that might be of use when  
demonstrating this side of the Society to others. This is in the SCA- 
SOCIOLOGY section of the Florilegium:
SCA-as-family-msg (52K)  7/10/05    Sometimes the SCA is more like  
family.
