>Greetings m'lady!
>My name is John Dansby, and I am very interested in joining the SCA 
(Barony
>of Elfsea) I live in North Fort Worth (Summerfields Area). I am 
currently
>employed as an Art Director at Virbac Inc. I am also a freelance 
graphic
>artist/designer/ webpage designer.
>My homepage: http://www.concentric.net/~litcom/webwolf/index.html
>I've been in the commercial art field for over 10 years and would like 
to
>be able to use my talents and resources in any way to help the society
>(Barony).
>
>My interests range from gourmet cookery, amateur archeology (I just
>returned last month from the Pyramid of Cholula in Puebla MX.) to 3-D
>fractal design and computer graphic design and raising English Setters.
>I am also an amateur historian with my special interests in the 
Medieval
>time frame.
>I was a Boy Scout/Explorer Scout until the age of 18
>and am a seasoned camper and outdoorsman with a goodly knowledge of
>woodcraft. I have a 10 year old daughter, Christina who I know would 
love
>to be part of the society as well!
>I also raise English Setters (the dogge knowne as the Setter) and have 
a
>side interest in studying the use of these dogs in medieval times as
>hunting dogs.( I think it would be interesting to have a demonstration
>showing the dog "setting" the birds (domestic pigeons) and hunters 
dressed
>in period clothing throwing a net over the "dogge and birde alike" as 
it
>was done in medieval times. (wouldn't hurt the dog or birds)
>
>My favored time lines are the period before and slightly after the 
Norman
>Conquest and the Tudor era. I would probably choose my persona from one 
of
>the two.
>I have seen the fighter combats at Randol Mill Park and Mayfest etc. 
close
>up and from afar and that is what prompted me to write this letter of
>introduction. I have thought long and hard about this and have finally
>decided to make some serious enquiry.
>
>What subjects I would like to study or recreate:
>Merchant, vintner, arms makers apprentice, fighter (If I am worthy)
>and making an authentic medieval food preparation
>display/demonstration for events, battles or just as fun.
>What my interests don't extend to is participating in
>"Scarbourough Faire=81" type events that are cheap imitations of what 
they
>originally were. It now seems crass and commercialized in my opinion.
>(just thought I had better add that, my apologies if I doth offend any
>person) I like the more realistic feel of The Rennaisance Festival much
>better.
>
>Anyway... I know this e-mail probably has rambled a bit but I wanted to
>show my qualifications and interests to be able to show my earnestness. 
I
>think your society is great and I will await any correspondance with 
great
>anticipation.
>
>I stand ready to swear my fealty, by word and deed.
>Yours most humbly,
>John Dansby
