The Roman goddess Diana, you know, is usually shown with a bow and arrow. Every first-year Latin student knows that. I still remember the first simple sentence I learned in Latin ‘Diana sagittas por tas… Diana carries the arrows.’ That helped get me interested in archery as a teenager and I’m still into it a lot.

I’m very proud of my performance in ‘Bow Barracks Forever.’ This was one of my most enjoyable experiences.
