ANST - Farewell

[Richard L. Rohde]

Vivat!  This quest of His Grace Stephan is most admirable, and reflects 
the greatness of Chivalry!

We have recently formed a Tournament Company to encourage more period 
tournaments, attire and chivalry.  Our first Pas d'Armes is scheduled 
for Tuesday, September 30th as part of Mooneschadowe's fifth meeting 
Revel.

We, the Company of the Sun, wish to dedicate this Pas d'Armes to the 
memory of His Excellency Master William Blackfox, who's presence 
inspired several people to join the SCA back in 1978 and eventually 
establish what is today the Shire of Mooneschadowe, founded in 1979. 
 Our shire would not be what we are today without William Blackfox.

We challenge all who wish to enter in a Passage of Arms honoring Master 
William Blackfox to make themselves known on the torchlit field of Lady 
Gilyan's Manor at the hour of 8:30 p.m. on the Feast of Saint Jerome, 
being the thirtieth day of September.  Three of our number will stand 
against all comers, fighting not for the baser aspect of victory, but 
for the nobler aspect of honor.  Come and join us as we honor a noble 
gentleman, His Excellency Master William Blackfox.

Greetings From House Bellatrix,

  I am writing this in response to the sad news we received about 
Master
William Blackfox.  We are all deeply sadened by this deep loss to the
Society.  I truly am saddened because of my occassional involvement 
with him
and because of me transitional citizenship of Ansteorra.  Please know 
that
the Bellatrix family shares your grief and would like to bib this most
gracious individual a farewell.  To honor a man whos greatness needs no 
words
of description I pledge to fight 100 challenges in the name of Blackfox 
and
will send an accounting of the battles.  i do this to spread the name 
of
Blackfox.  Pleae send word to us should his family need something we 
can
provide.

In Service to the Dream

Sir Stephan
Second Duke of Bellatrix
