Please regard the bearer of this letter as a dear friend and comrade of mine.  He has has proven himself a horrible tactician as I have ended up dragon dinner and Balron pin cushion at his behest.  I do give him credit for finding new ways in which to challenge my playing abilities.  I have lost more fame as a direct result of him thinking if i tried just one more tune the audience will be at peace.  Hehehe but he is consistent, and refuses to run except to the nearest healer or shrine.  
  I have known him in high times and low times since Dec 99.  He was skeptical, to say the least, but I brought him around to Sosaria.  I cannot take the credit for this completely.  As a good bard I just introduced him to some fellow veterans and active service members and the rest was good times and friendship.  
  He is now interesting in learning more about scripting and spends more time on Free Shards..  Please say hello to him and I am sure he will tell you more.
  cordially,
jack kerouac formerly of Chessie, currently bard-at-large.
