<DIV>> Yes, Michael, this has happened more than once - but for someone to leave <BR>> the SCA solely because of that is a real shame.</DIV>

<DIV>It is a shame but I have still seen many a friend leave the SCA because of it. I only point this out because I wish this would change and people not to turn a blind-eye to the problem.</DIV>

<DIV>PS> I PERSONALLY had a king tell me that I would never get an AoA because of who</DIV>
<DIV> my knight was. Fifteen years later I am still playing as my schedule permits but</DIV>
<DIV> when it comes to the SCA or trying to do my dream, most people would tell me to</DIV>
<DIV> try for a possible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.</DIV>
