<DIV>I totally agree. We are lucky to have such a hard working Baron who wears
many hats and works so hard for us. Thanks for those chosen few who stayed to
help take down the last many things needing to be done. I want to add Mike to
that list of Dare, Magnus, and VNV. I saw his truck full of all of the kitchen
trash etc. What a fun job that must have been to get rid of! Thanks again, xo

<DIV class=_stretch>I would like to add my words of praise for Baron Brian's
running of <BR>Defender. He took over as Autocrat with short notice and did
an excellent <BR>job of pulling things together with the little time left.
As far as I could <BR>tell, everything that needed to be taken care of was
competed without <BR>exception. No unfinished tasks. Kudos. I must admit
that I was skeptical <BR>about his plans for the blue velvet tent when we
started, but it functioned <BR>beautifully and provided much need shade.
Even when everyone else had <BR>packed up their personal belongings and
headed home, Brian stayed for hours <BR>with a small hand full of helpers (
Dare, Magnus and myself ) to completely <BR>breakdown the site, clean the
kitchen, make several trips to the storeroom <BR>and he even took pots home
to be washed. Again, nothing remained undone. <BR>As someone that has
personally autocrated sixteen times, I tip my hat to you <BR>sir.<BR><BR>I
would remiss if I did not also add my thanks to Runa for a feast that was
<BR>served in a timely manner and was very tasty and diverse. I believe all
<BR>bellies were quite satisfied.<BR><BR>Peace,<BR>Volod NotVlad<BR><BR>P.S.
I have the ropes from the horse stables which I will bring to Officers
<BR>Meeting.<BR><BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "John

time this weekend and <BR>> we could not have done it with out the
officers of the Barony doing there <BR>> jobs and the coordinators who
volunteered to help out with every thing <BR>> from heralding to filling
up the torches in the feast hall! Every one <BR>> worked hard to make
this event a wonderful success!<BR>> I thank you all. The Champions, the
Raven's Guild, the Baronial Guard and <BR>> all those who came to to
visit and just to hang out with us all!<BR>> Good night and I hope to see
you all soon.<BR>><BR>> Yours in service,<BR>><BR>> Baron Brian
du Val<BR>> Baron of Raven's Fort<BR>><BR>> p.s. If you are a
landed noble, do not take over as the autocrat for your <BR>> baronial
championship event! This is sound advice from one who just did <BR>> it.
Deligation works but if some one offers to autocrat in some ones <BR>>
place, please...... work with them. :)<BR>><BR>>
