A special thanks to everyone for their interest and support in the success of the newsletter, and a welcome to all the new Wolves and Possums (all you "A Matter of Time" and "French Connection" converts :>)) We're very pleased with the success of our recent RFWP international membership campaign, and proud to announce that we now have 68 Pack members! ! First and foremost, be sure to visit the Howly Ground Pack Forum, we're moving most of our activity there now since who knows how long Rysher will support their Raven forum. There's lots of stuff in the Reading Room, be sure to scroll down to the second shelf. Also we are now in three web rings: the MacMINT Webring, the Raven Webring, and the Highlander Webring. The popup banners are gone. Additions to the site are determined largely by what members submit, which are compiled into a section on the site (look forward to a gallery of wolf drawings courtesy of the Rosal clan!). Due to the popularity of last month's trivia game, Georgette Trollster has generously created a new trivia game for us again this month. (Click on the link to play) You'll have two weeks to play, and we'll be announcing the winner in the April issue of the newsletter. A new section of the RFWP Raven W.A.T.C.H. site has been added called The Watched, preserving Rysher's episode publicity stills available for anyone's use. Contributions for photo captions and private screen captures are more than welcome additions. The Watchers section went online in January adding a more personal touch to the RFWP Wolves and Possums, where you can get an up close and personal look at your fellow Pack members (And if you haven't contributed a bio for the Watcher page, please consider doing so.)

introducing The Fascinating SHARA
I was born and raised in Saskatoon, SK. I am 23 years old. I have my BA in archaeology and plan to go back to school soon to get my Masters degree.. I am a huge history buff and I love to read. My favorite authors include Nora Roberts, Tami Hoag, and Kathrine O'Niell. My favorite periods in history include classical Greece, Paleolithic time period in the Middle East, and 16th century England. My favorite outdoor activities includes Hiking and swimming. I always look forward to watching Raven each Sunday.
MEMBER OF THE MONTH is selected randomly from the RFWP database and all comments and remarks are published here with their prior approval.

Holiday
Notes from Scotland:
(contributed by Jette)
In the UK, you won't find many big celebrations of St. Patrick's Day. It's a pretty low key event (but on the whole we are low key people). A few of the Irish theme pubs might have cheap beer and live music and *maybe* some of the tv newsreaders will wear a shamrock, but we won't be out in the street *celebrating our Irishness*. We don't send St. Patrick's day greeting cards and we don't have parades. Not everyone would appreciate a St. Patrick's Day card at any rate - remember the official religion of both Scotland and England is Protestant and does not acknowledge saints of any kind. March is also the month of St. David's Day (1st March), which is the Welsh national day. The flower to wear for this is a Daffodil - or a leek (yes, the vegetable). The Welsh do make a big noise on St. .David's Day. Stand near a male voice choir and hear how big a noise! :-) The Welsh like their singing and their rugby. March 21st is our Mothering Sunday, so if you have friends in the UK you'd like to wish a Happy Mothers Day, this is the time. Again we're pretty low key - flowers, chocolates and cards. Breakfast in bed from the kiddies? Maybe. Cornflakes and toast - no big productions.
RAVEN EPISODE OF THE MONTH
It
really has to be "A MATTER OF TIME" this month doesn't it, although it's
a tough choice between that and "French Connection." This is the episode
that made "Wolves" out of a lot of viewers. It was great to see Joe again,
doin' his Watcher thing. Not to mention Valentine Pelka being "recycled"
in true Highlander fashion as a truly memorable K'Immie, Andre Korda.
And let's be honest now, who wasn't waiting for "The Kiss?" (And well worth
the wait, hmm?) Seeing Nick by the Seine was a heart catching moment, especially
when you saw a barge behind him, and the montage sequence of his memories
of Amanda made you feel his pain. Amanda and Joe play extremely well off
each other, seem to be very comfortable old friends, almost familial. The
hostility between Nick and Joe could prove to be an interesting relationship
if Jim becomes a recurring character, which we'd all love to see happen;
wouldn't you love to see how Nick reacts to Joe the next time he sees him-
after Joe having lied about Amanda's death?.WHO'S DOIN' WHAT

This site is just irresistible! If you need a good laugh (and who of us doesn't?) just be a little patient and wait for the music to load, and you'll be giggling helplessly. You can find this site at http://www.hamsterdance.com/ |

It was a pleasure to see Robert in Highlander: The Raven. It's nice that his character, Liam, didn't get killed off, so he may be invited back for future episodes. I hope so. And I haven't watched the show before, so I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the humorous bickering and romance between Amanda and Nick. And I like the way she fights! Those fans are really something.

Joe- "Forget it."
Nick- "You're a witness. Let's go."
Joe- "I'm a Watcher."
Nick- "Hey! Close enough. Let's go."
(Quotation from "A Matter of Time")
What we still have to look forward to
Undoubtedly "Timeless" is one
of the all time favorites of Highlander: The Series, and like most other
"mush" subjects we see on TV or in the movies, the line ALWAYS comes up
about do you have a year left to die, or a year left to live. You know
what I'm talking about here, I'm sure... So, IMHO (and NOT putting on flame-retardant
suit because I really don't care how those perpetual naysayers feel about
this other than to think they're missing a wonderful time) Highlander:
The Raven is only on episode 15 this week, with SEVEN more new episodes
to go. Seven MORE we haven't seen, which will begin the first week
of April (what a NICE spring surprise), and really something to look forward
to. Those episodes are already finished, and I for one plan on celebrating
The Raven through the very final first-run episode, even if I celebrate
alone, and send it off with a big smashing finale party in thanks to a
wonderful cast and crew for a very fun year of television... Should we
consider a mini-con perhaps? (haha) As to Forum boards, let's NOT forget
the RFWP Forum, which has been online for about a month now thanks to Petshark's
most diligent efforts, and it would be most suiting for us all to gather
there.
