Way back in A.S. XI (1977 of the Common Era), a group of folk at a Star Trek club meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, had a guest speaker, who mentioned the Society for Creative Anachronism. He asked who had heard of it, and several people raised their hands. One of them, Claire Spencer, had been to several SCA events in Germany when she was there with the military. After the meeting, people who were interested in learning about the SCA met with her, and she told them what she knew.
I was one of those people. I don't remember if we got together that day and decided to form a group in Salt Lake City, or whether we did it later. But that meeting started something that has continued for over 30 years and brought me a great deal of fun and satisfaction: what started as the Shire of am Mor Salann Fasach and is now the Barony of Loch Salann, the oldest barony in the Kingdom of Artemisia.
Do you know what's going on in this picture, and when it happened? You can find out in these pages. Last week's picture was Cormak na Gunn (Cormak macGuinn) becoming Sir Robert de Spencer's squire at the Rustic Weekend, June A.S. XIII. Recently added pages: Shire Christmas card pictures in Shire Years, and The Jericho War in the Early Barony Years Recently updated pages: Rustic Weekend, Storming of Storm Mountain and Crown Tourney, August 1978 in the Shire years. | |

Meistres Rhonwen welcomes others who were there in the early days adding their reminiscences--after over 30 years, her memory is a bit faulty, and much information has disappeared in the fog. E-mail her at julia.west@REMOVETHIS.sff.net. | ||
