<DIV><BR></DIV>I really have to get in on this one. :)<BR><BR>There was a
"medieval faire" at St. Lawrence in 1980-81 time frame that was probably done by
the SCA.( Freon can helms and tire and carpet armor.)<BR><BR>Adrianna, Sig, and
Betran can probably better answer questions about Winter War.<BR><BR>St.
Lawrence and SUNY Canton are 10-11 mines away in the same direction. <BR>And St.
Lawrence had great financial aid program, as Richard and I can attest to. We
weren't rich but had the grades to get really good scholarships.

Yeah, I just looked it up on google maps. My brother lives in Oneonta,<BR>>
