<DIV><FONT size=2>Elfsea Defender four years ago was my first event. I
have a special place in my heart for this event. Four years ago I became a
member of this Barony and watched as a good friend became Baronness. I
served Xene for three and a half years as her lady-in-waiting. I serve
Elfsea to this day. Three years ago at Defender I recieved my first
award--my AoA. I fought in my third tourney--as the first woman Rapier
Guardian of Dragonsfire Tor. I love Elfsea Defender. I loved the
pagentry of the Culture Camps of old. I would love to see pagentry return
to Elfsea. I might even be enticed to return to rapier fighting for such a
grand tournament at my favorite event. I think that all three tournaments
can be done in one day, as the Baron describes, but only with the help of
everyone. I will pledge my help, and the help of my household, to make this a
wonderful event. </FONT></DIV>
