Though The Ram has gone on ahead to Valhalla to prepare a feast for the rest of is when it is our turn....be not sad. He would have wanted his life to be celebrated in a joyous way and with much mead and song and stories. Even though this would be his wish, we bards have lost a treasure and a good friend.<BR>
