[Stargate] Ekaterina

[Hillary Greenslade]

Very cool!  Vivat Ekaterina! 
I ran into Ekaterina and Nikolaos at the Knowne World Heraldic and Scribal two years ago in
Colorado.  It was great fun catching them up on local news, and I tried heartily to encourage them
to return to our regions, but to no success as the mountains had claimed them. 

Thanks for sharing.  Hillary
