came home from KC, KS, Friday night, which was wonderful. More wonderful
yet is he gets to stay here this week because Sprint wants him to 'interface'
with one of their suppliers. YAY!! Which means he was here for one
of the high points of my SCA career - one that some members of this list helped
to make a reality.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Sable Thistle in Japanese Culture. Baroness Valeria Richilia de Navarro insisted
that Sueko accept her own first Thistle in place of the one the Crown
sent.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

hid it better. Also present were two friends of Sueko's, newcomers to the
SCA with Japanese personae. They made it possible to engage in some
serious persona play over a WOMAN being given an award without the presence and
permission of her clan chief. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
