[Sca-cooks] Heraldic titles, was My Dad...

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    I was Lymphad (submissions) herald for 4 years, and later Triskele
principal herald (a truly horrible experience, but that's a different
story). When I stepped down as Lymphad, I was given the opportunity to
register an Emeritus title. Given that a Lymphad is a ship, the only logical
choice (for my perverted mind, at least) was (get ready, don't wince) the
Dinghy herald. Still makes 'em cringe when I use that title . . .
