<div>I believe that he was one of the first that I had tried to contact. Now, me knowing how email work.. I have no idea if he got it or sent one back and I didnt get it.. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Truth is.. I believe passionately in Boffer and other childrens activities. I think that we do a pretty good job at making sure the kids have something to do but I know we could do more too and I have always felt that boffer was something that they would enjoy. I mean, cmon.. who doesnt like hitting something with a sword. =) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have enjoyed the terrific responses that i have recieved so far and I'll exhaust all of these leads and see what comes of them</div>

<div>Thank you</div>

<div class="Wj3C7c">> Soon after Sarait and I returned to The Dream, my son (10)<br>> was having ever<br>> so much fun at Kings College getting beat on by other<br>> children while he held<br>> a soft sword herein referred to as a boffer. So, I have<br>

><br>> I went to the Ansteorran Youth Boffer website and much to<br>> my dismay it was<br>> very outdated. The calendar was atleast a year old (still<br>> outdated). It<br>> had Grace Vanessa listed as the kingdom marshal (updated<br>

><br>> Please, please I beg of you to end this goose chase I have<br>> been on and give<br>> me the answer to this puzzle. What has happened to youth<br>> boffer/combat.<br>><br>> Bless<br>> Sæmundr inn skærr<br>
