Greetings and salutations, all!

I just took over this list and a few others recently, so I thought I'd
make my introductions...

My name is Melissa Strobel; I'm 27, married with two beautiful little
girls, and a researcher for several different subjects, up to and including
genealogy, American and European History, heraldry, herbology, and
blacksmithing. By trade I am a living historian (another word for a
re-enactor), and I work primarily with the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry, Co. I. I sit on the board for both the 11th and its parent
company, the Commonwealth Ancients Band of Musick (CABOM), which is a
Revolutionary-War era fife and drum corps. When I find the time, I also
spend time with the Society for Creative Anachranism (SCA), which is a
medieval recreationist group. I also do lectures and demonstrations for
school groups, scout groups and the like on a variety of topics. I also hit
the occasional Renaissance Faire, to relax a bit.
Hmm...what else... I'm a graduate of Penn State University, with
bachelors in both American History and Sociology, do some small-time web
design, and otherwise am occupied with either SCA style fencing, gardening,
cooking in several different time periods, or chasing two little ones about.
Since none of the lists that this is to be posted to is very large, I'd
like to hear from you all...your interests, what you'd like to see in these
lists, etc. I'd like to be able to get a handle of what kind of group we
have here. So please...get the ball rolling, and let's see what we can't
accomplish here! :)

In service,
Melissa Strobel
