<DIV>Come these words of joy mixed with concern: </DIV>

<DIV>It has been brought to the attention of M. Nerak & myself that there are members of the Barony that feel that they were excluded from participating in the coif project. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Both Nerak & I stated clearly that we would welcome any and all, but that because our equipment was not portable and studio was in the Woodlands, that it would be necessary to do the project in the Woodlands. At that time of the meeting at Yule where that was stated, everyone seemed good with that. We waited to hear from anyone about times to get together and heard absolutely nothing. There was no communication of any type that was forthcoming. As a direct result of that, M. Nerak & I were put in the position of doing it all ourselves. Among some of the other complaints were that we should have been posting pictures, etc., ad nauseum, of the progress. We would have
truly liked to, but the difficulty is when there is only one to sew and one to take the pictures... I think you get the idea. So, we opted to take one of the finished project. We did the best we could. We are proud of our work and its reflection of quality and of caring about our Barony and the Kingdom. </DIV>
