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. :)<br><br>Ceridwen<br>SLU Alumna<br><br><br>> Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:34:13 -0500<br>> From: marcolobronzethunder@gmail.com<br>> To: moo@lists.stierbach.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Moo] War Question<br>> <br>> Yeah, I just looked it up on google maps.
