<DIV><SPAN class=141553714-07052004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Oh,
for Pete's sake! You were with me when we did the guy who insisted on
putting his <frowsty> fighter's hand in the common drink cooler, weren't
you? Allison was at that time KC, and I think Caelin was Elfsea's
Baronial. She had to come look at the guy's hand because i told him to hie
his glutes to the doc to have that thumb set, as I recall, yes? That
'little apprentice' was so enthusiastic, so obviously capable, and so willing to
follow our silly rules that tied her down and wouldn't let her be an EMT.
Yes, Caley, you've grown up into a fine Journeyman. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=141553714-07052004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>And to
all those Chirurgeons who 'only take one Apprentice', I must gently point out to
you that no one has 'their own' apprentices in Ansteorra. We all share the
work of bringing up all the apprentices. Why? because of situations
just like this one, and several others we've (the KC and Deputies) fallen over
in the past few years, in which the Apprentice never gets 'made' despite, in
some cases, literally years of Apprenticeship! Please, folks:
Apprentices are not the property of individual Chirurgeons; they belong to ALL
of us. That way, they get the benefit of working with several Chirurgeons
who might just remember to share what the one before forgot about. Now, if
you befriend an Apprentice, it's perfectly fine to push their 'rights' to the KC
when they seem ready to be a Journeyman. And it's ALWAYS acceptable to
pass your baldric to that person when they are made Journeyman (after you sign
it on the inside, with the years you wore it). Just, please, pass them
around during their training phase - it really does make better
Journeymen.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=141553714-07052004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>And to
those of you willing to serve as CIC: when an Apprentice signs in with
you, please get them quickly to a Journeyman so they can begin showing what they
can do. See that they're passed around over the course of the weekend, to
anyone willing to take them (especially some of those lazy Masters), and see
that Evals are done by everyone who worked with them and saw them do even a
Band-Aid. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Sorry for the miss-spelling. Yes, dear it was you! Muhahaha .....You made
me! You got me some of my first recognized apprentice hours up at a canton
event I believe. Caelin was there and Allison, I beleive was on the throne. Up
til you, I was confronted with alot of people saying to me, how society
doesn't want chirurgeons who are emts. You were like "great" come sit by me. I
had gone to another event up in that region and people kept saying stuff like
" I made her, and him, and her" but I can only take one apprentice at a
time. It sounded like being squired and I swore off the chirurgeonate
and started wearing the paramedic patch on my belt. You were very kind to me,
when I wasn't sure this is what I needed to pursue or quit trying.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry I spelled your name wrong again..... hope I haven't disappointed
you as one of your apprentices.</DIV>
