<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so to whom does 77429 belong? can i be a
little disgruntled that my input doesnt matter when it comes to having played
here for 5 years? is cypress a bastard child?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Antonello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear Antonello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You belong to us, my dear fellow! Muh-ha-ha-ha!!! (evil
background music). Gatesedge's plot to take over the world advances in an
irresistible tide!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Seriously though, your input DOES matter to the Crown.
As a person who plays regularly with the Barony, who helps with their events,
who has served in many capacities to support the Barony, *you*, Antonello del
Bello, have the attention of the Crown if you will but make your opinions
known. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I intend to be there Monday night to give the Crown my
opinion and everybody and their brother knows that if there is *one* person
who can claim Gatesedge as their true home, 'tis moi. Probably only HE, Baron
Talmon has a better claim on Gatesedge than I. Yet, I am serving the Barony
still, as I have in the past, as one of their officers. Just because my
wonderful group decided to cut the apron strings and become a Shire, doesn't
mean that we turn our backs on years and decades of friendship. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So please don't feel disgruntled nor feel that your zip
code is "a bastard child". This is a good part of the world to live in. Yes,
the Crown *must* give more weight to those folks who actually reside within
the borders of the barony, but Ulstead and Cateau know, probably better than
any other king and queen who might have been on the throne at this time, how
intertwined the fates of who is B & B of Stargate are with the surrounding
Shires and Barony's that exist in this part of the world. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So I will look forward to seeing you there, giving the
Crown the benefit of your wisdom, like so many of us will be. Until
then, I remain...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In Service,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Annes</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>You are not an archeologist trying to construct a society that has been
lost. You are a historian who is preserving what is now for the future to
learn about us.The only SCA historians who will be SCA archeologists will be
our heirs if we, as historians today, fail to do our jobs
properly.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
