Renaissance Faires played an important part in my life—it is where I met Bettine, my first wife. She was entertainment coordinator in the very first Renaissance Faires and I was a volunteer entertainer. These works are from the Renaissance Faire and May Market in Agoura, CA, 1963–1967, and from Heart of the Forest Faire at Live Oak Campground in Santa Barbara County.
