That is so very sad to hear. How old was he? A very nice man, a great artisan and very pleasant to work with. I first met him in 2001 when he was in Archeon with Legio II Augusta, he made the first set of spearheads for Fectio. Andreas and I went to a lecture in Gloucester in November of that year and the next day on the round trip we visited Nodge at his home to the north of London, picking up the spearheads and discussing lots and lots more. Nodge's house was a typical house of the reenactor/artisan (I have seen many of such houses later), cosy and full of books and gear. Time went too quickly (we had to catch the ferry in Harwich) and we had to say goodbye way too soon!
Every year Nodge sent a very funny Christmas card, I'll miss that one too.
I hope they have an anvil in heaven Nodge, I'll think of you when I see the lightning next time. :wink:
