[Ansteorra-archery] Fwd: [Glaslyn] A Battle Lost

[Eadric Anstapa]

Happy Hunting Artair.

For those of you that never met him, you WILL miss him if you never know 
it.  I never spent time with Artair that I didn't learn something and I 
never got to spend nearly as much time with him as I would like.   I am 
a personal fan on Ben Pearson  and his bows and Artair had some stories 
to tell about Pearson.

Tonight an arrow from my quiver shall be sacrificed to Artemis  in hope 
that Artair might have a full quiver for his hunts.

-EA
