style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">I realized the other day
that I neglected something so very important. I have been so very busy that I
forgot to thank my wonderful Shire for all their help in setting up and
running such a wonderful event this last weekend. My apolgies to all. Everyone
was incredible. The A&S was beautiful, the Bardic was awesome, Rapier was
so well organized and fun to watch, Dance was as graceful as anyone could
want. Carluccio and crew put together one of the best feasts I've had in a
long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of my
wonderful family. Without the efforts of each of you coming together to make
sure that Tasha could be made proud and not have to worry about anyone except
Lillian, the event could have been disasterous. Once again, I am reminded how
I am surrounded by one of the most incredible, talented, awesome groups of
people in the known world. I wish I could hug each and every one of you. I'm
sure I will get the chance someday soon.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">On a different note, I'd
like to let the Shire know that I have been working diligently on our History
for display in the museum. The last 2 days, I have looked thru, collated and
placed in albums, over 600 (!) pictures that were in our collection.
Everything from pictures from Hector II and Rowan II King Champion in 1988 to
SCA 30th year in 1996. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">However, we have no
pictures in our history past 1996. I would like to appeal to you to look thru
your collections and make copies or consider giving copies to our History.

of you more than you can know. I have been involved and watched our canton,
now shire, grow from a group of 8 to the proud talented group it is now. I
have seen it thru all of its ups and downs, at times wondering if we would
make it another year and then next wondering when we would ask for
principality status!!! (Only mostly joking there) I can't wait to see what
incredible things my Gatesedge family will do next.</SPAN></FONT></P>
