	Anniversary Tourney -- Barony of the Angels September 9-10, 1972 Held in Centinela Park, Inglewood, CA. Annotations: “I remember being bedazzled at this, my first SCA event. I had first heard about the SCA a week earlier, at the LA Worldcon. Bevin Fraser of Sterling told me of having had some nebulous correspondence from a few people out in the San Bernardino-Riverside area, where I lived, so I contacted them and found that they were already starting what was to become Dreiburgen, with semi-regular gatherings in Riverside. They included Alison and Waldt von Markheim, Carl Nelson (SCA name forgotten), Thomas Doubleaxe (Ed Sitch), and a few others.” – Edmund Renfield Wanderscribe I'd met Bevin and the SCA at Worldcon, too -- and things have never been the same. Carl Nelson, BTW, is Aelfwig Aelfwigsson. --Jared Blaydeaux “Ah, yes. I remember something of this tourney. At the time, I was dating Bevin Fraser, as was Gerald Harper. I can't say that we were precisely in a spirit of good competition, since we both were serious about it, but we weren't really enemies either. Along came Ed who proceeded to act as if Bevin really belonged to him and Gerald and I spent a certain amount of the tourney considering how to disappear him forever. Bevin was, of course, the master of her own destiny and the last time I talked to Ed about this we had quite a good laugh over it.” – Steven MacEanruig “I'm flattered. Bevin, aside from being intelligent and beautiful, was the one person who more than any other did encourage me to take an active part in this SCA thing. While I certainly had desires such as Steve mentions, I never felt I had any hope while these two veterans appeared to hold sway in her heart -- at least, as much so as anyone could. I was and am proud to have had her friendship. [Bevin was, of course ...] “Truer words have never been written. She was, and always has been, that. That's partly why she was such an excellent seneschal.” – Edmund Renfield Wanderscribe “I always enjoyed the Angels and Calafian tournaments in those days. Possibly this is because I was apparently into long distance romances. Lots of long drives on I-5 when it was basically empty of people and gas stations for up to 75 miles at a stretch.” – Steven MacEanruig
