[Ansteorra] Bordermarch Autumn Melees

[Candace Baker]

Dear Lord Elrique,

  It is indeed my fondest hope to attend your event with my family. I have
many fond memories of Bordermarch as that is where I started some 21 years
ago.  I was a scared teenager when Simon and Tessa took me under there wing.
  I encourage all to attend your event as Bordermarch has always been a
wonderous place to visit (although wet most of the time LOL)Good luck and
may all who visit your Barony feel welcome and sing praises.

Lady Elyssa Gernier
(or Candy to Simon and Tessa)
