<p class=MsoNormal>First a word of business. I, Señor Lorenzo Martín will
be handling the lost and found. If you seem to have lost something of
importance, I may have it. Contact me via email at <a
href="mailto:jimcouch@gmail.com">jimcouch@gmail.com</a> and I will be happy to
try to locate it. Please be descriptive about the items so that I can
recognize it as yours. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Lady Melina and I would like to thank those of you
that braved virus' outbreaks and uncertain weather to attend Protectorate
XXXIII this weekend. We were fortunate in that Their Majesties saw fit to
bless the event with beautiful weather.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> There was much fighting on the battlefields as sword
and shield met round after round. At the end of the day it was Sir
Cassius Domitius Lepus that bested them all and was named the Protector of
Namron. The rapier field was filled with battles of its own. Warder
Christoph fended off many a gallant fighter in order to become Namrons newest
Rapier Champion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> The Ansteorran SUMO tournament was just as
fierce. Sweaty shirtless unarmed beasts took the ring in the bitter cold
of night and the testosterone flowed. Graciously, Prince Owen agreed to
fight in place of Lord Pukhta Lovtsevich (who had a wardrobe malfunction).
In the last round, Prince Owen was scheduled to face Prince Owen (fighting in
place of Pookey) and it was decided to forgo the unusual battle, and crown His
Highness SUMO Champion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> But seriously, this was a very fun event and there are
so many people that need to be thanked for their hard work. We have
covered many of them personally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I wanted to take a moment formally thank:<o:p></o:p></p>
