Hi,
I am Ed Somers who studied the Vikings in a past life. Currently I am a
timber framer and carpenter who enjoys using hand tools. I am interested in
the New England group, but living in Maine cant regularly get that far
south. If there was a chance of soomething in NH Id love to try it. I work
alone and have a family so I have little time, though great interest for
activities. I also used to do boat building and once contacted Hurstwic
about replica boats. Id love to help with a viking/AS hall.
Ed.
