    Word of warning before committing to attend this years event, It's being held on Easter weekend. I hope that won't prevent many from coming, but that particular weekend worked out very well for the Moore's of Denver. We are looking forward to having both Erik and Koko in attendance; that's my brother and his wife.

    Jay Leonhart already has a lead on a movie.

    This is a classic knights-in-armor-romance featuring King Richard the Lion Hearted facing off against Saladin. Walter Scott has an excellent sense of humor with which he spices the adventure. It was first published in 1825.

    Saladin: 1137?-1193. Sultan of Egypt and Syria who captured (1187) Jerusalem and defended it during the Third Crusade (1189-1192). http://www.tfd.com/saladin American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, (c) 2000.
