<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You're right the Ladies of Arkham did a wonderful
job on those tassels. I would have to recommend that instead of trying to
get them to the people who held the rankings when they were orginally made that
those that can be given out to current rank holders should be done. I'm
2600 miles away but I can e-mail the Autocrats of AAA Next July and see if it
can be worked into the tourney for the AAA Archery Champion. (AAA =
Ansteorra Argent Anniversary. AKA Ansteorra's 25th year as a
kingdom.) Ofcourse someone actually in kingdom could probably coordinate
better. ;)</FONT></DIV>

</FONT></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>but <FONT color=#0000ff

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>This was very disappointing not only for the

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>but I </FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>would

<DIV> </DIV>
