  1. I would be glad to help, as you need me, as well. Best of luck, mate. Not an easy project, that one.
  2. Hello, Shipmates! At risk of getting broadsided, I felt compelled to put my bits in, as well. I'm a re-enactor at heart. I have been a member of groups that want us to wear period underwear, etc. The "Nazi" approach to doing historical interpretation does nothing but push participants away. Due to the shortage of some materials, we have to substitute some things for others. I must confess, I do wear insoles in my bucket boots. Hang me. Although I do strive to be as historical acurate as possible, if I am doing a bonafied historical event, e.g. battle re-enactment, encampment, or somewhere people will want to get a good view of what life was like "back then". Although perfection is impossible, its the quest for perfection that separates the re-enactor from "performers". I do love a good faire, though :-) If the event is just a glorified beer bash, or fencing competition...what-the-heck. We can lax a little. We had one new fellow (God bless him), that appeared for a school presentation wearing blue jeans and chainmail. All I did was thank him over and over for coming an offer him some loaner stuff. :-) For the Ole Folk (like me) that supports and educates those that would like to go farther in the quality of their impression, Blessed Be. For those that just like to dress up, and walk around. Blessed Be, as well. But you get out, only what you put into anything. Just a thought. Sorry to speak so long. I'm Irish, and can't help it. Always, Howard
