[Ansteorra] Word fame and Elevation news

[Scott Barrett]

It was a real treat to see HL Dyan offered the wreath of that august 
order, or as I call her, "the pretty gauntlet lady".
I am among many who will be honored to see her elevation at Coronation.

I was also honored to have attended so many amazing classes. The class 
on Spanish Footwork class presented by Lord Reis ap Tuder, which was 
based on the work of Puck and his academically skilled lady, was eye 
opening and extraordinary. A class concerning the myriad levels of 
research which was to be taught by Mistress Rosalia was steered with 
efficient grace by Mistress Serena. It was a wonderful class, and the 
good Mistress a most engaging teacher. We missed you, Rosalia, and your 
clan, who we wish the best for.
  Despite my tardiness in a hands-on class, Lady Phoebe Hotham was a 
manifestation of patience and skill as she  ran her lucet weaving 
class. Those in attendance were provided with lucets and cord for their 
own attempts. That generosity has led to 6 inches of lucet cord. I 
couldn't even begin the silly knot when I left class. Thanks Phoebe, my 
best to you and that new Sable Thistle.
  I wasn't alone in my enjoyment of the many options at King's College. 
My better half, the lady Cadhla, was very happy to have met Asterisk 
Herald as Lady Emma described just what her office requires for a 
successful submission. HL Clara was happy to provide a handout on 
Cheesemaking, which is very appreciated. Mistress Talana's button 
making courses were a delight, as I'm told, and my lady now has a skill 
she is most enthused with and will no doubt teach me, if she can ever 
put down the tassel she made in HL Dyan's class on tassel weaving.
  I'd like to thank my students as well. Your enthusiasm and questions 
made all the work worthwhile. I hope you enjoyed my classes as much as 
I enjoyed teaching.
  If you missed King's College, thinking such academic events are boring 
or nothing you'd be interested in, you missed out. Yes, even you. 
Yeah...YOU.
