LR- A Question All...

[Terry Allen Harper]

You might also check the Bjornsburg web page, I don't have the url handy, 
but some of the guys got together before Ragnar died, and build a beautiful 
ship.  We've sailed on it at Viking Fest in Georgetown a couple of times.  
Hey Polodore, if you're out there, I KNOW you remember it.

Also, there's a group, mostly in Bjornsburg, that's an official unofficial 
group that recognized by the SCA Corp.  By official, unofficial, I mean the 
"Longship Company".  Normally, they would be considered something like a 
household, however, they actually got a special something or other, where 
they can be treated like an official group.  They have their own bank 
account, treasurer, can host taverns at events, etc.  I think they got it by 
applying as a special interest group studying the historical, archealogical, 
and practical aspects of  building a longship.  In fact, that's what their 
raising money for.  They've been doing an omelet breakfast at Bjornsburg 
events for as long as I can remember.

Hope this helps!
