Memories

How I Found the SCA

Jared and I were on opposite sides of the fence on sooooo many things, yet we remained friends and respectful of each other. He had strong opinions and stood by them no matter what the consequences, and I respected that. This all being said, I will give him the best compliment I know, and I believe it true: Jim was a kind man. ~Edwin
