Having been in it so long I have made a countless number of friends through this hobby. I've been to numerous weddings, birthdays, parties etc. of people that met through re-enacting.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>JC: Why George Girty?Wasn't he regarded as a traitor?</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>KELL:&nbsp; George Girty was a larger than life figure. As far as being regarded a traitor - that is all about perspective. George Girty considered himself a patriot. Although we always think of an American patriot, Girty was a British patriot. He was fighting for the mother country and the King.&nbsp; He had lived with both his white family and his Indian family. George is the youngest of the four brothers.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Living in the Ohio Valley and having a native American background, the Girty's appealed to me. They are a kind of footnote in history. You hear about Simon Girty - villain, traitor. But the Girty's were used just like the Native Americans were used as pawns. The British used the Girty's to fire up the Natives - to make them go out on raids.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Simon was passed over a few times for promotions and basically decided to honor his roots. Having lived with the Natives for many years he preferred that life. His white father was a drunk who moved around a lot and failed to take care of his family. The years after his capture and adoption were a better life. </P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>JC: How long have you been re-enacting ? </P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>KELL: For living history - Since the early eighties. I've done Boonesborough, Holder's Co. Militia, Virginia Regiment, 78th Highland Regiment, Roger's Rangers. And even before that from the age of four at the beginning of the NMLRA and buck skinning I was dressing and&nbsp; going before the public. </P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH=432 NOF=LY> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD WIDTH=34 HEIGHT=7><IMG SRC="../../../../clearpixel.gif" WIDTH=34 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0></TD> <TD WIDTH=3><IMG SRC="../../../../clearpixel.gif" WIDTH=3 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0></TD> <TD></TD> <TD WIDTH=28><IMG SRC="../../../../clearpixel.gif" WIDTH=28 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0></TD> <TD></TD> <TD WIDTH=3><IMG SRC="../../../../clearpixel.gif" WIDTH=3 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD COLSPAN=4 HEIGHT=4></TD> <TD ROWSPAN=3 WIDTH=173><IMG ID="Picture51" HEIGHT=263 WIDTH=173 SRC="../../../../Re-Enacting/Nominate/List/past2/kell3.jpg" BORDER=0></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT=252></TD> <TD ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=MIDDLE WIDTH=191><IMG ID="Picture49" HEIGHT=252 WIDTH=191 SRC="../../../../Re-Enacting/Nominate/List/past2/kell2.jpg" BORDER=0></TD> <TD></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD COLSPAN=4 HEIGHT=7></TD> <TD></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD COLSPAN=6 HEIGHT=5></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT> <TD></TD> <TD COLSPAN=5 WIDTH=398> <P>Jay Kell in 1976 with his first rifle made by his father Earl Kell.

Were else can you dress up in really neat clothes, run barefoot and it's OK to get dirty.&nbsp; I think they learn a lot of respect in this hobby. They are around weapons, and fires and other people's property from a young age. And it's not only going to events - but making gear, planning and packing gear.
