[Regia-NA] Hello

[Eric Chamberlin]

Greetings,

I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a 40 year old
librarian in San Diego, California. In addition to my
library degree I have an interdisciplinary master’s
from NYU. While there I took a course in medieval
English history from Norman Cantor. I wrote a paper
for him on Anglo-Saxon resistance after the Battle of
Hastings for which he gave me an A. So I guess I know
a bit about the period in question. I’ve been into
things medieval since my teens (Yes I did play
Dungeons and Dragons) but have only recently made it
into a lifestyle sort of thing. My wife, children and
I attend most of the ren faires in Southern California
and I’m also involved in the Belegarth Medieval Combat
Society a very athletic foam fighting group. While I
love these light hearted historically based activities
I’m also interested in doing something serious. I’m
not interested in accuracy for the snob valor of it
but because I have an academic and research background
and it just feels better to get it right. I’m most
intrigued by RA because its mission is educational. I
really hope it can take off in America. Is anyone on
this list from Southern California? 

Eric
