>Greetings Miguel and Conal from Alasdair,
>
>First, I would like to apologize, but we will not be having
>Midsummer's Masque this year.  Logistically we could not find
>a site suitable or an autocrat to run the event.
>
>Next, while I do not know if I feel really right recommending
>these two people since I am related to one and married to the
>other, but here goes anyway.  I will put it out their for
>y'all to decide on.
>
>First is Lady Mairghread inghean Brhídein (You and most of the
>world know her as Margarite McBridin).  She as been in the
>Society for over 11 years now and worked her tail off through
>most of it.  She spent 3 years as the Elfsea waterbearer and
>was in charge of every event they had. She then moved to
>Lindenwood and has worked.  She has been autocrat for several
>Yule Revels, at least 2 midsummer's, Border Wars.  That does
>not go into what she has done for set up, gate, and all other
>necessary jobs.  In addition she has worked hard for Steppes.
>She has helped tremendously at events.  Autoctrated Warlord,
>is head of security this year.  She is currently Central
>Regional Chronicler, has helped me with several offices
>including Central Regional Herald and Chirurgeon.  She and the
>other "List Babes" (If you haven't heard of them yet ask
>Mahdi.) have run lists for several events in the region.  In
>short she has worked her little derriere off.  I feel she is
>definitely deserving of at least a Sable Crane for her service
>to the Kingdom.  In all honesty I feel she deserves becoming a
>member of the Order of the Star of Merit. I feel she has done
>way more work for the kingdom than I have and I am a member of
>that order.  Unfortunately I feel that because of her demeanor
>and self deprecating attitude she has be VERY unjustly
>overlooked in recognition.  I see what she does because I am
>close to her.  Anyway, I can only point out her numerous
>contributions and leave it to you to decide.
>
>Next I would have you look at Lord David Falvy Falconer.  He
>has worked for years in both Lindenwood and the Barony of the
>Steppes. He has spent years giving service and working where
>and when he can.  Mainly for the Steppes and Lindenwood, but
>he has not shirked doing anything he has been asked that is
>within his physical capabilities.  The latest thing he is
>doing is running gate at Steppes Warlord this year (as he did
>last year).  He currently is tired and not as active as he was
>in the past, but he still works.  I am recommending him for
>the Sable Crane of Ansteorra.  To be honest, while I do
>believe he has done as much or more than many people I know
>who have received this award, my first choice would have been
>to put him in for an award in the Steppes. Unfortunately I
>have done so in the past and nothing has come of it. Since you
>know me, I am not going to beat around the bush with this.  I
>feel that Fritz and Catrin have done him a grave injustice in
>not giving him the recognition I feel he deserves.  Never once
>has he complained to me, or stated he felt he deserved any
>recognition, but I see its absence all the same.  Since I
>cannot seem to reach Fritz or Catrin on this matter, I am
>taking my case to y'all.  All I can do is put forth my
>recommendation and see if you agree with me or not.
>
>Thanks for listening,
>HL Alasdair MacEogan
>Seneschal, Canton of Lindenwood
