I have met some of the best people ever in the SCA. Things happen in
he SCA that would never happen in a mundane sense. Such as last Gulf
hen my new drum came up missing. Someone found it and mailed it back
o me. At a mundane camp I would most likely have never found it
gain. That is the coolness of the SCA.

    I'm still 335ish, but I used to be much much
 heavier. I went to an event and wound up meeting Baron
 Andreas. The guy made me look small, showed me a ring
 that made my size 12 or more hand look puny.

    He also rummaged through his drinks stash until he
 found something even a teetoaller like me would drink,
 and a vessel to drink it out of. He later introduced
 me to another long-time SCAdian.

    I know he was hospitalized at one point in the past
 couple of years, don't know how well/if he recovered.

    It's just one of the memories that come to me when
 I think of the SCA.

    Another is HL Damon and his wonderful Lady Wife.
 They invited me, basically a stranger, into their
 home. He helped me customize some full gaunts, gave me
 a stick of rattan for a greatsword hilt, and even
 split it for me.

    Damon did ask something in return..that I help
 someone in return, in time.

    I could go on, but y'all get my drift,
 this is the spirit of much of the best of the SCA..
 fond memories, and kindnesses extended in real life.


 Val
