[Ansteorra] Special Thanks From Bordermarch

[David Lathrop]

HE Santiago and I have so many special folks to thank for all their help at this years BAM. 

Mistress Hillary you came through for us not only at gate but ran our A&S competition and took care of our scrolls when we had unforeseen set backs.  You calmed our fears and warmed our hearts with your graciousness and care of every detail.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Their Excellencies Ihon and Isabeau along with the Barony of Stargate.  Thank you so much for blessing Ansteorra with an Auxiliary Army and feeding the many wet and weary warriors.  The variety of soups and sides were outstanding.  We are indebted to you all for your kindness to Bordermarch as well as The Kingdoms of Ansteorra & Gleann Abhann.
