<DIV><EM><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000080>I would like to take this time to thank the autocrats and everyone who was present that made Beltaine such a wonderful event. As I told a few over the weekend, Beltaine will be my last event for atleast a year or two because of the new job I am accepting. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent getting to know the SCA and the people who play the game of this wonderful organization. Though I am looking forward to the new experiences my new job will bring me, I will miss the camaraderie and the friends I have made during my time with this group. It will be one of the several things that will bring me back when my employment will allow me to return. Until that time, thank you one and all, and VIVAT SCA!!!</FONT></EM></DIV>
