My first event...  Gads!, that was quite some time
ago!  I was 17 and stationed in Germany.  A friend of
mine had been telling me about this really cool group
that he was a member of back in the states that
dressed up in armour and fought and boy could they
party!  

At the time, I was in a cavalry unit that spent about
two-thirds of its time in the field.  Well it just so
happened that in June of 1982 we had some down time
and Brian (the friend) happened to hear from a friend
of his in the 3rd AD that by shear coincidence, there
was an event somewhere north of Frankfurt (wound up
being Giessen) at the same time.  

So we made the trip.  I was the rankest of newbies,
had no idea what was going on, had no garb, but he was
right, it was a great party!
