New Foundland

A thousand years ago a Norse viking, Leif Eriksson, found ‘The New
World’, at least he was - probably - the first European to set foot
on the American continent.

The Viking Trail Tourism Association is celebrating this Millenium
with a lot of activities, among others a large re-enactor encampment
in Norstead near L-Anse aux Meadows on The Great Northern Peninsula
of New Foundland.

I have with very short notice been asked to participate and to show
how the vikings made their famous silver drinking cups, and here is
my sigh for help: Silver smithing tools/stake anvils are quite heavy,
especially as luggage/air transport. Is there any orchid member in
the vicinity who could borrow me some stakes? I’m leaving friday and
arriving in St. John’s/NF on Saturday morning at 10:35 AM. Please
reply to my hotmail addr.: loevschal@hotmail.com.

And if any of all you kind Orchid people will be on the Viking Trail
from Sunday 20th till Saturday 2nd September, please look me up.

Hi Charles

Thanks for your efford concerning my visit to the Newfound Land.

However it came on so late, that I did not reach to get in contact
with any of the people over there before i left, so I had to decide
what to do, and I decided to bring the necessary stake anvils/irons
and hammers all the way up to l’Anse aux Meadows. And I’m glad, I
did.

The kindliness, hospitality and helpfulness, which I met up there,
was second to none. I hope I left a little of my skill up there with
the very skillfull people, which I met on the Northern Peninsula, -
and for sure - I left a bit of my heart on ‘The Rock’.

Kind regards
