I also have to go back prior to 1985. In 1981 I enrolled at the UofR. As a mature student( quit laughing that's what they called me) I applied myself to my studies and I was able to maintain 4.0 GPA toward the end of the 1982 winter semester I got involved with the ISA. My introduction to this rather strange group of people came while I was walking past the ISA office one coming from the CW cafeteria when I heard this big argument about international politics with one dark person saying that the English were still a bunch of Imperialist bastards and another dark person(Sunil) saying that the English were the only civilizing influence on a bunch of barbarians. Curious I went in to listen and so I was lost...

While spending way too much time in the ISA office talking about anything and everything I noticed that a large part of the discussion was taken up by this D&D game. Sunil, George Anastosolis, Doug McKenzie (no relation) and Kathy Trehern were always talking about last nights game of let's pretend. Now not wanting to criticize something that I hadn't tried myself, I invited myself to one of the games. Mike Sandbeck was DM'ing with myself, Cheri Stevens, Bret(whose last name I have forgotten),George and Doug playing. That night "Ferd the Druid" was born and my GPA was no longer 4.0 :-) Mike was the Manager of The A&W just off Dewdney and he said that a bunch of D&D'ers hung out there and that I should come down. Doing this I met the motleyest group of subversives you'll ever find. And Low and Behold who was included in this group of drug dealing, welfare mooching criminals? Our buddy Jeff!

Now George lived in Campion Res. and we started playing down in the rec rooms at Campion because no one else ever used them so we would not be bothered. Sunil was DM'ing "Light and Darkness" at the Time and Jeff started playing this allowed for a cross pollination of the groups.

I personally didn't like Gary's DM'ing so I didn't play that much with that early group besides I was playing 6 days a week with the "Dub" crowd, and since I wasn't in Rez yet I wasn't really part of that group. When Jeff Started University and moved into rez I started to have more contact with our current group. The following spring I moved into CW for the summer and thus became part of the CW crowd. And the rest as they say is History.
