Firstly, let me say that Phillip and I are both so very pleased to 
welcome you into the Order...Phillip said, "Welcome, Sister!"  as do I. 

And yes, things can get a little strange in situations like this.  Back 
when I got my Pel, they didn't do vigils and such...it was more like 
calling the person forward, telling them because they had done such and 
such amount of work for the Kingdom and so you get a Pelican.  Here's 
your medallion and your scroll.  Back to work!  I actually heralded the 
Court where I got mine...at the end of Their Last Court, the Crowns had 
me call in a group of people that I didn't really put together as a 
group of Pelicans.  And so on from there.  But, as luck would have it, 
there was a fellow there who was videotaping Coronation and got my 
elevation on tape...ten years later I found out about it and he made me 
a copy.  I did get a vigil for my Laurel...but the Crowns were somewhat 
confused when Phillip told them I wanted one!
