SCA History
In 1987, Rufus of Stamford started doing archery at the University of Waterloo and Martin, as his twin, was dragged along. Rufus then started holding choir rehearsals at his house, and Martin was asked to help out. It was 1994 before Martin finally gave in and started attending SCA meetings.

Follow the music or follow the children – Martin will be there. He'll also often be found at the archery range.
