while since we saw you. I remember that you were an officer here before
me, but I also remember when you started playing here in the SCA after
moving from Calontir. Weird because I started in Calontir also. I am so glad to
see you back again and with such a pleasant family in tow. That little girl of
yours is certainly a cutie. I do hope that you find a new home in Chemin
Noir. The canton are a wonderful group of people, who I am sure will
welcome an infusion of new people with open arms.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
