Public Safety Coordinator, Bob Hamlin
I have been a pagan for as long as I can remember, I was always the woodsey "boy scout" type
of kid even as a kid but had no idea that there was a religion of people like myself out there.
My folks sent me to a military high school where I discovered this fact along with my path as a
guardian / paladin / protector / whatever. I have been in service to the pagan community for
over 20 years now. Acting as escort into and out of the courthouse for an accused witch who's
own coven didn't show up, as a founder of two pagan legal churchs, as an activist with NYSPA,
PEN of NY, PPD, and several other organizations less well known, and as a public voice for equality
in religion. I am currently a volunteer minister for Odinist prisoners of the NYS dept. of
Corrections, CTO for PEN of NY, and high priest of the Lakeside Pagan Sanctuary. Liam Neeson
said in the movie Rob Roy "Honor is the gift a man gives to himself." My goal for this life
is embodied in that quote, and I hope that when I sit beside my Gods in the time after this
that no man or woman will have cause to claim otherwise of me.
