the moot where the candidates got to speak about themselves when we were
chosen, our seneschal, Eowyn, started by having everyone list all
the attributes the populace was looking for in a Baron &/or
Baroness. She listed such things as patience, good fighter, good artisan,
kindness, hard-working, well-dressed, understanding, etc....At the end she wrote
"Walks on Water".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

how much we heard about our previous B & B's,both good and bad.
However, they got the barony going and kept it going. They gave it
traditions and worked very hard to provide for everyone. I agree with
Siobhan about this. If you don't talk to the person that you have a
problem with, how will they ever know how what the problem is and how to fix
it?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Hey,
Folks,<BR> These questions were not ment
to offend anyone. This was not bitterness talking. Ask yourself, have you
complained about any of the last three B&Bs we had without telling them
what your complaint was? Don't answer this out loud, only you know in your
heart. I think a few of you did. Some came to me before I was in that seat, so
I know some of you have. No body is perfect and your next B&B will be
imperfect as well. They will not always do everything you want them to. But
they need to understand more will be expected of them than they will ever
know, and be on the look out. <BR> I will
help our next chosen ones as much as I can. I will treat them like they are
doing an impossible job, because they will be. The problem with that job is no
matter who you know, you can't understand until it is you. <BR>Siobhan</FONT>
