[Stargate] [Westgate] Westgate's forthcoming dissolution

[Michael Silverhands]

I read this with understanding, but also with sorrow at the passing  
of the group.

Neassa and I were around when William the Bear, Sine Griegsdottir,  
Geof Weakarm, and all the rest were gathering together to create the  
group which eventually took form as the Canton of Westgate. I was  
proud to serve as your Baron for 5 years.

Most of the founders have moved away or passed on to the distant  
shore. Mistress Hillary and others have worked hard to keep the group  
going, and the accomplishments of the group are many. You definitely  
left your mark.

I know that the people of Westgate aren't going away, just a layer of  
bureaucracy. But still, I also know the sting of ending, and of loss,  
and my heart goes out to all of you.

In memory and in continued friendship,
Michael Silverhands
