So, we needed to either close it, or renew it and make it our own. </div><div><br></div><div>Thus, we have chosen to renew the award with our own hands in a manner in alignment with the verbiage for the award. As I am sure you well recall, speaking honestly and openly of one’s perspective and feelings can be underappreciated by some. </div><div><br></div><div> Her Excellency Silvana and I want to encourage people to speak to us about their feelings and concerns without fear of reprisal. It is the only way in which we can help make ourselves better and help this amazing Barony to grow even bigger. </div><div><br></div><div> Many of us were present when you received yours and remember that court well. I believe you and I even spoke together afterwards. </div><div><br></div><div>Our email addresses are in this email, so if you or anyone reading this has concerns, we welcome you to contact us here, FB Messenger, or in person. One or both of us will be at the Wednesday get-together at Bedford Boys Ranch every Wednesday. </div><div><br></div><div>It would be a pleasure to see you again and sit and talk of times past. </div><div><br></div><div>In Service,</div><div>Absolon, Baron of Elfsea<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 3, 2023, at 10:19, Peter via Elfsea <elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Oysters Irritant of Elfsea<br>We had hopes that there would only be one.<br>Enoch Crandall MacCranon - </span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Oysters Irritant of Elfsea, Primus</span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> </span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large"><br><br><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:center"><b style="font-size:x-small"><font face="monospace">One's sense of honor is the only thing that does not grow old, and the last pleasure, when one is worn out with age, is not, as the poet said, making money, but having the respect of one's fellow men.</font></b></div><font size="1" face="monospace"><div style="text-align:center"><b>-Thucydides</b></div><b><div style="text-align:center"><b><span style="color:rgb(28,30,33);white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(242,243,245)">When you receive an offense, look first at the intent, and try hard to learn more of the person and reason out just why they believe that way before you render judgment upon them.
