Publishing an article in something somewhere would do the trick. She wants
credit, not to profit from it. Posting here doesn't hurt, but publishing is
better. An illustrated article in the SCA's quarterly, Tournaments
Illuminated, would be good--especially as it would (perhaps) finally put to
rest the old article of mine that we now know to be so wrong.
A Costume College class would be excellent!
And yes, Reg, of course I'll help!
