[Sca-cooks] Not a bridesmaid this time...

[S CLEMENGER]

We couldn't be happier for the two of you (and your lucky kingdom!).  I hope 
you heard the cheers across continents when we all found out! Hope you have 
a blast at Pennsic!
We've had a oouple of kings in Artemisia and Atenveldt who were also 
Laurels.  HG Brion Tarragon comes to mind for Atenveldt (although I'm not 
sure if there were others then, let alone since the split), and we've had a 
couple since the split--Count Morgan d'Antioche is a laurel, and so is Count 
Ralph Bigod.  And we've had a number of very arts-supportive kings, like 
Duke Konrad von Krixen.....
