Armor fashioned by Hawkins couple ROGERSVILLE You could say that John and Teena Perry are caught up in the "old days." Still, even though they live in a Hawkins County cabin without electricity or plumbing, it is not pioneer days that have them enthralled. They are caught up in the Middle Ages, when knights in shining armor jousted for the favors of fair maidens. The Florida natives and their four children moved to their rambling 42-acre farm in the hills of Hawkins County last year.
They have thus far shunned electricty, phone service and running water. They get their water from a creek. It is a typical farm scene. Goats roam freely in the yard.

"I make real armor and it goes for people who just want stuff for themselves and to collectors who want the real thing hanging in their living room," John said. He first became interested in armor back in 1975 when he joined the Society of Creative Anachronisms, an international organization devoted to keeping medieval, days knox briefs Archives to have longer hours The Knox County Archives will be open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., starting Monday.
