[Elfsea] Sad news

[Beth Zimmerman]

My lady, my heart breaks for your loss and for the passing of this fine lady
and for one who first fanned the sparks of the dream into the flame it is
today.  I did not know her to my regret but I mourn her loss.  My prayers
are with you and yours.

I am sad to announce that Lady Elizabeth of Bamblebush, Elder of the Clan
Caldal died yesterday, Sunday  at 3:30.

I wrote a little about her history and influence on the Steppes and
Elfsea and Ansteorra in general, but I would like to add to it. The
second 12th night was the start of period decorations in our region. The
first 12th night was decorated with crepe paper and turkeys. Lady
Elizabeth was in charge of the hall at the 2nd 12th night and it was her
inspiration that started us on the path of excellence decorations that we
do today. She along with her husband, Lord Bruce of Bamblebush and  my
father, Red Dog MacKenzie had been in the theater for many years and
taught the people of the area how to put on the show. Their theater
backgrounds started many of us into persona. My mother addressed me as
"Your Grace" until her death and when she was out of town wrote me 2
letters. One for the everyday world and one on her adventures as a french
lady. They are all gone now, but I would like to believe they are in a
special place preparing a hall for the rest of us.

Yours 
Duchess Willow de Wisp
