OMG!  She speaks on the list!!  *grin*

Hi to our newcomers from Anpliça "An please-sir I want some more"
Fiore.  (Some people like it that way!!)

I am also a kingdom officer and deal with the external submissions
that go up to the Society level each month.  I dabble in pretty much
all aspects of heraldry, all but  court.  I don't like it as much as I
like book heraldry and the like.  My passion of the moment is to
promote the A&S of heraldry in encouraging heraldic display.  Cuz
heraldry can be so pretty and it can add so much to the game we play.

I've been in the SCA since Feb 2003, but attended a couple events in
the late 90s/early 00s.  I have been group herald for the now
in-hiatus Stromfels (River Falls, WI), regional herald for central
region (MN & Thunder Bay), and currently hold the offices of Keythong
(submissions) and emergency deputy herald for Polaris.

I will be at Clothiers this weekend if anyone wants to look me up!  :)

it took them until midnight to track me down using the website and information
from it (thank goodness that my brother listened to me when I told him about the
SCA).
