I know for a fact one of the static A&S entries that received a "5" -- the
Masterwork score -- is Don Eule von Haginbald, for his falconry research
and display.

And I'm willing to bet that the rider with the perfect score is either Sir
Alexis or Sir Henri.

Can anyone else help enlighten us?

I agree, Michael.  I too will try to see that this is remembered.  In the
meantime, I know that Sir Pendaran is due to be the Ansteorran GW liaison
next year.  Perhaps we could put together a list of things we'd like to see
improved or added -- while not ignoring the things that went really well.

Also, what happened to the Ansteorran Chili Party this year?  Did I miss
it?  Did we not have one?  Can we have one next year?
