Three cheers for Sir Randall!  This noble knight is visiting the library on Tuesday, July 12 and is looking forward to meeting the lads and lasses of the city of Morris in the shire of Grundy.  Sir Randall wears a mid-15th Century replica "harness," or suit of armour, and speaks about a knight's training and equipment.  Audience volunteers help illustrate the progression of armour and the affects of weapons which were designed to penetrate them.
