<DIV><FONT size=4>Ya'll got me big time. I blushed so much that my glasses
literally fogged up and I couldn't see. </FONT><FONT size=4>It has been
years (too many to remember) since I last blushed... even a minor one.
There were even tears of amazement. If I had any clue as to what was going
to happen I wouldn't have made as many trips around Bordermarch checking
things. My bum knee would have worked properly and I would have been able
to kneel in front of Their Majesties. I still would have needed help
up as the only way to get back on my feet by myself is like a 2 year old... rear
end up in the air and then the rest of the body follows.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Once the embarrassment was over I realized how much honor had
been bestowed upon me. I joined the SCA because since I was a very young
child I've been in love with knights, damsels in distress, swords, bows, all
that 'fun' stuff. The SCA started as a way to 'pretend' but
became much more. I have met many wonderful people in our Barony, people
with the ability to inspire a woman with many years under her belt.

<DIV><FONT size=4>I only hope that I can live up to the faith the Barony has in
me. Thank you again for this great honor.</FONT></DIV>
