Memories
My memory of M. Alfonso covers 26 years (that is how long I was married to him) and includes many SCA events. But, for me the most interesting thing was when I first married him. He had a closet FULL of costumes, instruments, and stuff. When I asked him what all of it was for he said, "Oh, that stuff was from my days as a musician and the SCA." When I asked him if the group was still around (this was 1977), he was not sure and really did not think that it was. Several years later, I found an ad for an event at the park downtown Ventura. I thought it would be fun to put on the outfits and just drop in. Alfonso was surprised that there was a group in Ventura, CA and thought it a good idea. We grabbed my sister and dressed her up in an outfit, I wore one, and Alfonso put on one of his old outfits. Off we went to the city park--not sure of what we would find. The group was delighted to see us and made us feel welcome. This is how I became a part of the SCA family and how we both (Alfonso and I) started to play again.) -- Sibylla Timida de Cantabria (Quoted from The History of the Kingdom of the West Website)
