boom, boom, . . .<BR><BR><BR><BR>As the drums of war fade and we recover from
our wounds, bruises, and assorted hurts, we start to think of things that went
great and maybe things that did not go so great. We think, "Next year I'm gonna
do that again!" or we think, "Next year I'm not gonna do that again", or I am
going to get that other thing or fix that other thing!<BR><BR>This missive is
about something that needs to be fixed!<BR><BR>The Ansteorran Towers stand by
the gate and proclaim to the whole Known World that these lands are Ansteorran
Lands and that in these lands reside Ansteorrans and that all those who enter
these lands should keep that in mind.<BR><BR>These Towers were built tall and
strong but have not had much care and maintenance over the last several years so
they are having problems. Local critters were hard at work making a home in
them. The top has sagged in the middle and holes have developed so that water
pours in and soaks the interior. Wood has started to rot so that entire upper
sections need to be replaced and the roof needs to be replaced.<BR><BR>We need
to act and work together now to develop a plan and raise money in order to make
sure that OUR Towers do not fall. There are a number of us that spoke at Gulf
War this year and are willing to put in time and effort to work on it, some of
us are willing to make a special trip to King's Arrow Ranch just to work on the
Towers.<BR><BR>Because of the way they are built, I do not believe that we can
build the sections and take them there and install them. It will be easier to go
there and take all of the tools necessary for the work with us. Buy the things
necessary in Hattiesburg. And tear down the rotten pieces and build the new ones
on site and assemble it all right there. Electricity and water is very close
by.<BR><BR>In order to get this done we will need to raise money to help pay for
it and we will need to have people commit to going that have some skills in
carpentry and basic working.<BR><BR>I do not have an estimate yet for this
project but it will be more than just a couple hundred dollars. Once we get more
of the design work done we will have a better estimate of what it will
cost.<BR><BR>If you have abilities that will aid in designing how we rebuild
them, or abilities to help in fund raising, or the ability to go there for a
long weekend in order to get this work done, or want to be involved but not sure
how you can, please email me directly so that we can get the plans rolling on
this.<BR><BR>YIS,<BR><BR>Vincenti da Murano, COA, RH<BR>Apprentice to Master
