<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to all who participated. Thank you
to TRM Ulsted and Ebergardis for gracing us with their attendance. Without
guests who want to play the game we set up, the tournament and event itself
would be a much sadder place. However, without the help of all those who
worked from planning the event all the way through to the debriefings and final
storage unit visit, we could not have hosted the event at all. >From brand
new members to old Lions to guests, many people, too many to name, had a hand in
the wonderful event we hosted for you, Ansteorra.</FONT></DIV>
