                             Notes from the arena champ.

The last Studebaker left the Hamilton plant on March 17, 1966. The Studebaker 
Corporation's vehicle collection and company archives were given to the City of South 
Bend. It was a long and glorious ride.

I hope to do all Studebakers proud in Ardivent, and finish on a high note.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out ARDIVENT to see 
what's new.  MVP award for DOLT?  NEON DOLTS' proud of him after beating ISSARIES and 
getting 28 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  ISSARIES got smashed by DOLT, 
and lost 27 points!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think 
STUDEBAKER should let DORITO be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  
Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  FATA LEGIO was the most avoided team.  Is a 31-13-0 record really 
that scary?  I don't know what FANDILS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from FATA LEGIO, that's fer sher.  Like, is HAYSTACK popular, 
or what?  He was challenged the most in all of ARDIVENT!  He's got a 11-54-1, is that 
good?  GRANDPA SMITH must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He 
challenged FOB PUG.  8 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I 
thought GRANDPA SMITH showed great skill and promise when he overcame FOB PUG.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ARDIVENT ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out 
of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Remember 
you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
