[Ansteorra-announce] Gothic Thank yous

[HE Chiang]

  Greetings to all who read this,
It is truly humbling to see people step up to help out at an event like 
Gothic Wars. It seems to get bigger every year, and harder to run. So many 
people offered their help that I am sure that I am going to leave some out, 
if I do please forgive me or write me and remind me and I will correct it. 
It is good to hear people tell me what a time they had at Gothic, but it 
seems to me that I did little other than getting a bunch of friends to do a 
heck of a lot of work. They are the ones that really should get the credit.
  To Lady Ysabeau and HL Eleanora Caley, thank you so much for coming all 
that way and helping with water bearing and being my chirurgeon, when I was 
at a loss for such things. You both are treasures to your groups, and should 
move out to the West, we would appreciate you more than they do.
  To Their Excellencies of Bonwicke, for allowing me to be the Event 
Steward, and their support when I was about crazy over it.
   To Their Majesties for showing up and making it so memorable and adding 
that touch that only you can.
   Their Excellencies of Elfsea, for being the other principal at the last 
minute, and I can too count or you would have had fewer points.
   HL*snicker* Georgio for all your support, even when I snapped at you, and 
for not killing me when I did.
   HL Agnarr, my co Steward, who took care of merchants and what I could not
   HG Britta for taking care of the Heavy Weapons end
   Muirghein and Toshiro for the Rapier end. Toshiro for all your help with 
take down too.
   HL Larkin for doing the early morning heralding.
   My Gang for all their time, efforts and talents:
   HE Ryah, for the golf carts and making me eat breakfast and for just 
being who you are.
   Ld Byron for doing Knife Axe and Spear, cooking supper and lending a hand 
when ever you could and every time you can.
   Ld Gerrold, for being both herald and Brute Squad,
   HE Safiye for taking care of all the gate stuff, as well as helping to 
keep me organized.
   HE Gavin for being my right hand for the event, even going so far as to 
help with trash runs and other nasty stuff.
   HE Hakon, you sure make work easy, when you lend a hand too.
   The Hero Kormac, the stuff you did shows why we call you Hero.
    Ld Richard, and Gabriel for your help too.
    And finally to the lovely Lady Wuya, thanks to you for putting up with 
me during all this, and being so very much more patient than I was.
   I would also like to thank those of you that traveled ever so far to join 
us in all the fun. Hope to see you all next year as well as through out the 
year.
  Until next we meet, I remain humbly yours in service,
  HE Chiang Ti Lung
