In spite of the heat and high humidity, we had a wonderful event. Lots of new family camps and some new traders all added to the workshops and excitement and enjoyment of the week. Having these new faces and new people getting "into" reenactment is fabulous to see. All of you participants deserve a great ROUND OF APPLAUSE for making the White Oak Rendezvous such a success. Yes the numbers were down some but having as many people as we did in such hot weather is commendable. Thank you to all the volunteers that came when asked to "work and or interpret" and offer workshops/demonstrations etc. As I said Saturday night: "The people make the event". That is so true for this last two weeks. Everyone (in spite of the uncomfortable weather) left with a good feeling and everyone wished each other the best. If you would like to send comments to us and have suggestions for new workshops/activities for 2002, just email: whiteoak@paulbunyan.net THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE. GREAT JOB Perry

Would the guy who always whine at people for not having the correct outfit on stop whining. It is not your job and the kid who did wear his tennis shoes is because he cut his foot and could walk better in them. I think this whinner drinks to much. Stay home next year.

Great site, informative. I missed the Ron-Dee-Voo this year, but I'll be ready to ride soon. I'm looking for a member of the Lac Superieur Exploration, his name is Shadowcatcher (I think). Anyone know how to get ahold of him, please leave me a line or two. Thanks in advance.... Three Bands

White Oak's "guide to interpreting the fur post" is now on-line!! This is an evolving guide to how we present the era through our site. You are free to use it for your reenacting, teaching, or studying. If you find errors, omissions, etc., let us know - our base of knowledge and presentation always needs expansion and refinement. Many thanks to Ken Eck for adding this material to our web site (and, if I you will allow me an immodest moment, to myself for writing it).

Greetings Another winter is history here in the north land. It was a rough winter for many of us, marked by the passing of Grandpa Vick, the breaking of Ray, and I can't seem to find my bladder anywhere. Hopefully the year to come will be marked by more positive things. Like the greatest White Oak Rendezvous ever! I look forward to seeing you all again.

Thank you for all the support you showed us at the New Ulm Trade Fair. As many of you know, we were graciously allowed to have a table at this event to do some fire recovery after our fire on January 17 at Historic Murphy's Landing. Your generous donations of money, books, memberships, information, and encouraging words were much more then I ever expected at this event. We are still looking for old records on Murphy's Landing that we can get copies, pictures taken at Murphy's Landing, and information of members or people who may have scheduled a tour to the Landing this spring and summer. We lost all hard copy, all computer content, so we have alot of reconstructing and reconnecting left to do. We look forward to seeing and visiting many of you at the Eagle Creek Rendezvous on Memorial Weekend. Until then thank you for all the encouragement you have given us.

Thanks for all you came to the Winter Camp! We had a fantastic time enjoying the weather and friendship of the camp. Saturday night's potluck and dance was all that rendezvousing is about. And Nate Tahtinen bringing his dog team into the post was as nifty a sight you would want to see. Upcoming news: WO Board meeting followed by general membership gathering -- March 15 (5:30 Board; 7:00 membership). Doug Marston fundraiser -- March 17 (5:00).
