[Interp-share] Introduction

[Shaffer, John]

My name is Juan Ortiz, Juan Hernando Bautista or John Shaffer.  Pick one.
They're all characters!  I've been interpreting as a volunteer with the
Florida Park Service for about ten years and have been working at Mission
San Luis for about nine years.  My wife Jackie and I have interpreted at
several parks around this state and a couple of others.  We demonstrate a
long list of colonial skills and have a growing line-up of farm animals.
Soon we will be able to put a set of working oxen (Florida cracker steers)
on the road for what ever function may be needed.  I have a substantial
collection of 16th c. and on weapons and armor and tools.  We do story
telling, baking (with a wood fired oven), textile arts, shoe making, black
powder demos, etc.  We're busy, but will squeeze you in when we can.
