NR - Question of Long Ago

[Decker, Terry D.]

I believe this was Lloyd von Eaker's second coronation.  Finn Kelly
O'Donnell was on the throne.  Finn was in Northkeep at the time and Lloyd
was in Steppes, so a Wiesenfeuer venue split their travelling.  

IIRC, Wiesenfeuer was about two old at the time and wanted a kingdom event.
This would have been about January 1982.
