<DIV>I am not sure how it was determined that the 2008 (postponed
to 2009) Defender was XXVI.</DIV>
<DIV>I was told to call it XXVI and I didn't question it.</DIV>
<DIV>Wow ! </DIV>
<DIV>Can you believe it ??</DIV>
<DIV>I actually accepted something without question.</DIV>
<DIV>Will wonders ever cease ?</DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, unless we want to repeat a number, my suggestion would be to go
with XXVII.</DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps the B&B should make the call on this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Peace,</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Ravensfort] Defender of the
Fort question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I can't remember which one was III, but I was at it, so that would be
either 1988 or 1989, the year of the first Investiture.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It couldn't have been 1990, because I know there was a Defender in 1987
(1990 was IV or V). I didn't go to the one in 1987, but I had been to Kingdom
Bardic College in Conroe that summer (Hector and Rowan were still King and
Queen).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So the question is: Was there a Defender in 1986? If there was, then 1988
was Defender III; if not, 1989 was Defender III.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another clue: Seamus and Karlanna were King and Queen in 1987, while
Inman and Drusilla were King and Queen in 1986. Who was on the throne at the
first Defender?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>if Defender I was in 1986 (with Inman and Drusilla on the thrones),
Defender III was in 1988, Defender XXIII would have been in 2008, and this
year would be Defender XXV. If Defender I was in 1987 (with Seamus and
Karlanna on the thrones), Defender III would have been in 1989, Defender XXIII
would have been in 2009, and this year would be Defender XXIV.</DIV>
