[Northkeep] Pictures

[Etienne de St. Amaranth]

As Rosamund noted, Kristoff is really the reason she and I found the  
SCA.  He is also the reason I took a class from Dr. Lomax at TU.

I remember, prior to my ever coming close to an event, meeting up with  
Chris in John Mabee Hall at TU to help him pack some unknown quantity  
of chicken he had cooked into the deep freeze he had in his room.  In  
zip lock bags.  I don't remember if the chicken was for a feast or for  
snacking or for mass transit to a war or what.  But, I remember noting  
how much chicken he had cooked and how much he really loved the SCA  
and his society friends and family.

I also remember seeing him after he had spent all day running a  
brushhog over some land that belonged to his father so an event could  
be held there. Still before my time in the society, but Chris made me  
aware of it.

When I became active in the SCA, Kristoff was no longer in Tulsa.   
Grad school had called.  But I do remember getting him to armor up and  
come to medfaire in Namron.  We actually got to fight together and  
against each other.  I also remember Baron Peppin handing me my head  
with Great Sword that day.

Being a heraldry oriented person, my one regret was that Kristoff  
never received an Award of Arms and that I never got to see him  
receive one.

Respectfully,
