Miscellany
I joined the Marche of Gwyntarian on Thursday, September 29, 1977 while a junior studying Theatre at Kent State University. I am a retired paraprofessional librarian, having worked for 30 years in the Akron-Summit County Public Library system. I have served as Chronicler, Deputy Pursuivant, Minister of Arts, Minister of Sciences, Minister of Arts & Sciences. I also taught dancing for many years and headed up the Gwyntarian Scribe’s Guild that was recognized by the Midrealm with an Award of the Purple Fretty for providing the Kingdom with numerous scrolls and scroll blanks. I currently serve as Baronial Archery Marshal for the Barony of Brendoken. I have served as judge for many decades in regional and Kingdom Arts & Sciences Faires and can usually be found dividing my time between the battlefield serving as water bearer and archery range serving as marshal at Pennsic.
I have been recognized for my extensive work in Calligraphy & Illumination by being made a member of the Order of the Willow and the Order of the Evergreen. I was made a member of the Order of the Dragons Barb for excellence in and service to archery.
I am also known throughout the Kingdom as a battlefield water bearer of many decades experience.
I am both a Royal Round (Bowman) and handbow GAT (Grand Archery Tournament) ranked archer. I am also a warranted archery marshal in the Middle Kingdom.
I recently completed a warrant as an Archery Instructor. I run the Brendoken Archer’s Guild Facebook page as a clearinghouse for archery related information. I post archery tournament scores to the SCA Scores Site and encourage others to do likewise and encourage our local archers to gain both Society wide rankings in the Grand Archery Tournament (GAT) and a Kingdom ranking in Royal Rounds.
Here is where you can follow the progress of my archery scores for all of the shoots in which I compete and for scores that are posted for both events and local practices in which I participate:
