[Northkeep] Greetings from An Tir!

[Dale and Kate Collins]

My thanks for the great welcome!  The company (Spirit Aerosystems) and my hubby are currently working out a phone interview and we will see how things go from there.  They were interested in him a few years ago, but were unwilling to relocate us.  With his current job situation (employed, but working too well at his job which means he's bored which means he's going to end up without a job eventually), we're now thinking that we'd be ok with paying for the move if they were to offer him a job.

Will be putting out more info soon.  In a bit of sleep deprivation and shock from an event this weekend.  Excellent sales, low amounts of sleep, and a drive by visit from the Queen to be granted an AoA.  I think realization will hit sometime next week.....

Lady Kate the Candlemaker

  Hey Kate, it's Lord Skerri, down in Tymberhavene (Coos Bay, OR.).  I did not know you were going to move!  That's cool.  Northkeep is really a great place.  My wife Lady Annis is from there (Vinita, OK.) which I guess is technically Chemin Noir.  It's a Canton of Northkeep, and I am their founding knight Marshal.  So, it's a really great place!
    On an interesting segue (sp?) I am the founding knight Marshal of Tymberhavene!  We were just brought out of incipient status at May Crown, which was in Grants Pass.
     
    Well Lady Kate, good luck!!  If you do not move out there, please keep in contact with me!

    Greetings Good Gentles,
  You and your family are most warmly welcomed into the lands of Northkeep. 
  This is the best Barony you will find in the Known World...if I do say so 
  myself. Northkeep is a place mode of people from all walks of life who 
  embrace the dream that is the SCA together. There is a weekly meeting on 
  Wednesdays being a fighter practice that has become so much more...it truly 
  is a one stop shop for most SCA activities. Tulsa itself if a good town 
  currently rated the 5th best place to live in the USA. There are some 
  regions in the northern part of town you may want to avoid but most parts of 
  town offer good, average, and only okay neighborhoods. Do you know where you 
  will be employed? That will help us in narrowing down the areas close to 
  that location for housing and education.

  As for your interests in research and guilds I think that you may be able to 
  find yourself some good company here.

  Kindly,
  Ian
  Baron
