[Ansteorra] Mack Cooper of Cooper's Lake Passed

[Haraldr Bassi]

Greetings your grace,

Mack and Betty Cooper are the parents of Dave, Kenny and Al cooper. Dave is the current primary 
owner/operator of Coopers Lake Campground and has been for many years. Mack Cooper hadn't been 
involved in the day to day stuff in several years, but could be seen every summer with Betty 
passing through the campground on their golf cart. Several times they had stopped and watched 
our spring pole lathe and other things we were doing in camp.

In the early years, he was very instrumental in how Pennsic evolved, given it was basically his 
family business that was playing host.

It is sad, though not entirely unexpected to hear of his passing. He did indeed have a nice long 
run.

I know that my laurel and grand laurel knew him much better than I did, having camped in his 
yard in the past if I recall correctly. My grand laurel, Mistress Morganna, has been involved in 
Pennsic Gate activities more years than I care to think about and worked closely with all of the 
various Coopers over the years.

I know many/most of the Coopers were made granted court baronies in the past, but don't recall 
if it was all of them or a subset. I could certainly consult the household memory storage and 
get a more detailed answer if anyone is interested.

In service,
Haraldr Bassi

... whose first war was PW12 and has only missed one Pennsic since PW21 (my second year in 
Ansteorra when we were so far under on our house we couldn't manage the expenses and it really 
really hurt to miss it).
