<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, I was sure someone would add to my
"ideal" list. I "also" appreciated Caelin asking the question. I thought it was
a good question coming from someone wanting to wear a "Baronial
Hat". It made me sit down and think, something everyone of us needs
to do BEFORE the polling. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is wearing Baronial Hats and sitting in Baronial
Thrones all fun and games? I don't think so! Ask any past and/or current
B&B how much responsibility this JOB entails, you just might be
surprised!! How well will the person(s) you have chosen
handle stress and criticism? Will they have the support
needed for this JOB? Will they be fair and honorable to friends and foes
alike? They ARE the face of Elfsea in ALL SCA activities and
are always on stage. Can they handle that and conduct themselves in a manor
in which you will ALWAYS be proud of them? Remember this is a BIG job
and should not be a popularity contest. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now do I really believe there is an
"ideal" B&B, not on your life!! But, I do intend to stand behind the
new Baron or Baron & Baroness of Elfsea and offer all the help,
insight, support and my famous "Bear #&#@ in the woods talks" that I
can muster. Will you do the same?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I would like to commend Caelin on asking his question. If more
people asked similar questions, Elfsea would not be in its
current situation. I was once told that all great leaders will ask
questions, They will consult with their officers, past leaders and their
populace. </DIV>
