Once upon a time

Aiden Burton learns some medieval swordplay with Eric Slyter, the director of the Knights of Veritas, who spoke at the Grand Coulee Library July 9 to a group of about 40 people, many of whom were kids in Lake Roosevelt Schools' SHARP Kids program.The Knights of Veritas spoke about constellations and how people navigated by the stars; old world beliefs about numbers being found in nature; and facts about swords, as well as swordplay pointers. Slyter even put on a suit of armor as part of the demonstration. - Jacob Wagner photo
