Hindscroft existed from May of 1978 to July of 2009, and contained the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point in Central North Carolina.

Persona

Daoud al-Bodmani (originally David of Bodman) was the second son of a tin mine owner in the Town of Bodman (now Bodmin) in Central Cornwall.

With no prospects for much advancement and a desire to see the world, he stowed away on a ship, befriended and became the assistant to the navigator, and spent the next 30 years sailing the Mediterranean Sea and traveling through some of the eastern border countries.

More Information

Retired, 2014

I've long had a love for the Medieval Dance, and danced many summers with the Shire of Hindscroft, so when it came time to find a "retirement home", I wanted a Dance Hall...

In the middle 80's I worked for a small, family owned micro computer supply called American Square Computers, and updated the monthly ad in BYTE Magazine, Jerry Pornelle wrote a monthly column called "Computing at Chaos Manor" about his experiments with computer networking..all of his computer had a name, and and the column was called "Chaos Manor"

I'm a geek as well, so

"It's not a Chaos Manor, it's a Hectic Hovel, but it has room to dance!"
