[Artemisia] Soapboxes

[Johnson, Scott L SSG NG NG NGB]

The Barony of Arn Hold welcomed me home with open arms and was very supportive of me while I was deployed for 18 months. Thier Excellencies Cate and Ulrich and Tor and Rachel as well as Lords, Ladies and Peers sent me numerous books and care items which I shared. The SCA has been very very supportive of myself and others in out local area who have been and I am sure will be Deployed. Vivat on doing this as a Kingdom now. Thank you all! In Sevice,
