Eventually works

Rico says the last time he actually spoke with Warren Chard, it was to order (and pay for) a bunch of uniform gear for a SpanAm War reenactment at Fort Clinch in Florida. (The next one, if you're in those parts, is on 19 & 20 September of this year.) The next time he spoke with Warren, it was today, five years later... (Talk about being hard to get hold of.)
The upshot? He has all my stuff (even though the hat, as usual, will be too small; Rico has this fat head, you see), and will ship it. So, five years later, I can finally wear it. For cowboy action shooting, of course, there not being much SpanAm work in these parts...
