<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just wanted to send out a
thank you to Duchess Willow and the other ladies that joined me in the ladies'
pavillion at Elfsea Defender this weekend. Your Grace, it was such a
wonderful idea and I enjoyed the whole day. It has been a long time since
I actually sat and enjoyed the day with other ladies watching the
tournaments. For a short time, I did feel the Dream and felt the Courtly
Love that the fighters brought to us with their Grace, Honor, Chivalry, and
talents throughout the day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We enjoyed the wonderful
talents of some such as Master Robin, Duke Miguel, Sir Tomas, Cadet Samuel
Drake, Don Ingve, Duke Mahdi, Sir Corwyn (nice dancing!!), Lord Lochlann,
Centurion Louis, Sir Morgan, Master Darius, Don Edward (who fought an entire
bought with a "pistol" wound in his belly--nice shot, Baronness Alessandra!),
Don Allessandro, Count Gunthar (who sang "I'm a Little Teapot") and
many, many others whose names have slipped my mind. For a moment you
helped to transport me back in time. Thank you!</FONT></DIV>
