Just think in
one more<BR>> year the Barony will be legal to Drink! Yeah, Party!!<BR>> To reflect on this important year let's review what was<BR>> happening in 1989, also know as A.S. XXIV (24 for those who<BR>> don't read Roman).<BR>> <BR>> In A.S. XXIV:<BR>> There were 11 Kingdoms: Ansteorra, Atenveldt, Atlantia,<BR>> AnTir, Caid, Calontir, Trimaris, Meridies, and of course the<BR>> "The" kingdoms - The East, The West, and The Middle.<BR>> (I wonder if they ever want to change their name to<BR>> something catchy. Or do they enjoy showing off their elder<BR>> superiority, by having such simple names as would be found<BR>> in a bad fantasy adventure?)<BR>> <BR>> There were 7 Principalities: Lochac, Artemisia, Ealdormere,<BR>> Drachenwald, Oertha (Alaska), The Mists (Mid-California),<BR>> The Sun (Arizona). <BR>> (Amazing four of these grew up to be real Kingdoms! <BR>> Poor Oertha, it still has not
grown up. <BR>> As for the others, I guess the old three "The" kingdoms<BR>> didn't want the competition.) <BR>> <BR>> Pennsic War 18 had just wrapped up & (heaven forbid)<BR>> Gulf Wars had not even begun yet!<BR>> <BR>> Local History:<BR>> The first Baron and Baroness was Arthur of the Fen &<BR>> Robyn Murchadha.<BR>> While there were no Keystones yet, there were a lot of Ants<BR>> marching around the area. <BR>> Duchess Willow was Duchess Willow. Duke Gunthar was a Lord,<BR>> Mistress Xene was a Lady, and Honorable Lady Ker Megan's<BR>> (Pryo) AoA was shiny and new. To top it off the<BR>> current Archery Champion Lord Gavin the Younger was not even<BR>> born yet. <BR>> <BR>> Patrick Michael Gordonne and Juila de Montoya were King<BR>> & Queen (for the first time - wow). There were no<BR>> Centurions or Arc d'Ors, and Sutan Bloodaxe was the "Baby<BR>>
Knight" of Ansteorra. <BR>> <BR>> In the Mundane world of 1989:<BR>> The Inflation rate was: 4.83%<BR>> 1 gallon of gas: $0.97<BR>> US Postage Stamp: $0.25<BR>> New House: $120,000 <BR>> <BR>> There was no Internet for everyone to waste time on! <BR>> (However did people goof off at work, but still look busy?)<BR>> Microsoft releases its Office Suite including Spreadsheet,<BR>> Word Processor, Database and Presentation Software - for the<BR>> first time!<BR>> The first TV commercials for The Simpson's were<BR>> released. (Can anyone remember what its like not to<BR>> have Bart & Homer in your life?)<BR>> The War of the Roses was retold, Batman was the best movie<BR>> around, and there were only two Lethal Weapons.<BR>> <BR>> Tongue in cheek Birthdy wish, brought to you by,<BR>> Hanna <BR>> "Burn brightly without burning out." - Richard Briggs<BR></DIV></DIV><!--
