Battle Barn Gamers

Sadly one of the founding members of the Battle Barn Gamers has passed.

 Rich Villella was an avid history buff, in previous years participating in historical re-enactment groups, and historical gamer. He could be found at games and conventions from Historicon in Lancaster, PA, to Southern Front in Ralegh, NC. He was always calm, soft-spoken, mild-mannered and always had a good word for everyone, even when they were beating his dice! Rich was a great freind, a fun gamer and he will be missed around the gaming table at the Barn and elsewhere. Our condolances go out to his family. 

Sadly, Battle Barn's senior member passed away on May 10th, 2006. Bill Hinrichs was a long time collector, gamer, and fun guy to hang out with. He'll be missed at the game table. Our sypathies and condolences go out to his family
