  Well now "Grasshopper" If I remember a young
Nipponese Ronin named Yoshi wore Japanese style
"carpet armor" it DID NOT look like shag carpet but
looked GOOD.  later this same young warrior made a
complete suit of Japanese lacquer scale and it even
won an A&S award at one of our events.  BTW Bri, did
you keep that set? or even better do you still have
the "carpet set???? Oh yeah ya forgot one more item
for the tourney, It was fought on the "Infamous
Footbridge" that was built at Kiefs. Thanks for the
Memory Brian.  :0)

Kegan Graybeard,(yep it is turning that color WAY TOO
FAST!!!) HELLO AARP 50 is closing FAST
