[Ansteorra] Children's Mitten class at Steppes Warlord

[Celeste Shelton]

I would also like to give word fame to Lady Maria, the gentle lady who ran 
children's activities for Warlord.   I had volunteered to help and when the 
chivalric list was delayed due to the rain I stopped by to see what I could 
do and found that I was not even needed.  The rain played havoc with her 
previous plans, and yet she was able to provide activities that entertained 
a "horde" of children in a hall for several hours.  I know that she had 
volunteers who came by and worked and had other plans for the next day, but 
it was her flexibility and calm that saved the day.  Vivat.
