Hi Dean, sounds interesting. I'll talk to the guys in our group (only 4 members so far) about going. Is pre-registation required?

How many in your group, Is Sam Kempton still a member? I used to do WWII reenacting with him.

Dean,

I'm so glad to see what the 2nd is up to these days! We miss you and Oregon! Have a great time out there.

We had a great time! Citronella fuel, beer, and campfires can be so much fun! It being in Oregon, the day was sunny and the evening rained a biblical flood, but we still had fun. Most of the folks had Scandinavian or Celtic personas; as there were no classical types they ate us up! They loved what we were doing. We got to go around collecting taxes and enforcing Caesar's peace. I wish I'd been able to attend all the party invitations we'd gotten.

Thanls again, Dean for loaning us the tent, and all the ideas for Rome's future in the Pacific Northwest.

*heavy sigh* I sure wish I could have been there; I'd very much like to have been a part of the discussion. Another time, perhaps?

[maius]

Hi Dean, was good meeting you, Jeff and your wives this past weekend, as Joel said we had a great time! Really enjoyed firing the "Scorpion"

I'll be meeting with the Ft. Stevens staff later this week, I plan to reserve one weekend a month during the summer. I'll let you know when I have the dates set.

Looking forward to working with you in our quest to bring Roman reenacting to the Northwest.

We certainly were a hit! I've never been more photographed in my life! I was told it was much more when I wasn't around! I can 't wait until the next get together.

Photos would be very nice to see, Dean. Very nice indeed! I've been very event-deprived this year, so must live vicariously through others' good times. :roll:

*heavy sigh* I sure wish I could have been there; I'd very much like to have been a part of the discussion. Another time, perhaps?

The discussion went a bit like this: "lets form an umbrella group of Roman enthusiasts in the Pacific NW that will cover Rome, civilian, and military." So join us!

I'm there, domine, I'm there. Just tell me what I need to do!

Hi Julilla, I think we talked once, as Dean said we are in the process of buliding a Roman presence in the NW to include Washington and Oregon with our base being at Ft. Stevens State Park.

You are most welcome to join with us when you can, I know it's a long drive from central Washington. I'll keep you posted on our schedule of events if you would like.

I took some photos at Egils and our first time at Ft. Stevens, I'll get them posted here soon.

This is great! The Pacific NW is networking!

If we can do anything to help (as Portland ex-pats) let us know.

We've had fun with our Civ. group (The Roman Way) and legion (Legio X Fretensis).

I've really admired what you and Laura have done with The Roman Way and would very much like to see something similar up here. How widespread is your membership? Are members drawn mostly from around Austin or farther afield?
