[Artemisia] Speaking of saints...

[Cheryl Robertson]

Dear Mistress, 

I too remember that calendar and I still have a my copy.  Mst. Aquillane did
a number of pages. It was a great calendar and I seem to remember at least
one page had artwork of the "popular figures" in Artemesia at the time.
That was great fun to see those!!!

I'll have to go dig mine up and give it to Mst. Liam to show when he's
traveling.  I say time for another one!!!
