<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Greetings! We want to explain that the photo
shoot today was requested by Dan Diehl, the gentleman who has written several
books on Medieval life, including /Constructing Medieval Furniture/. He is
revising his first edition of /Medieval Celebrations/ and asked us to host a
photo shoot to update the photos from the first edition. As this is a
how-to book for the non-SCAdian, we did things like appear out of garb for a
some of the photos or have intentionally less-than-perfect standards for
authenticity.</FONT></DIV>
