I was glad that Master Fritz thought the Wish List was a way to 
cooperate. We need to encourage talking to our Future Baroness. In my 
experience it is never bad to pitch. Many times your "wishes" are put 
on the bad burner, but in a year you might find them being done. Be 
prepared to be called on to help make them a reality and be prepared 
for them to be modified. I told my sons this when they were just 14 
and they requested some things of the new Baron of Elfsea, Sir Galen. 
He did put them into effect but it took a couple of years (Everything 
always take a bit of time) and by the time they got done my sons were 
into other things, but he did them. A change in the Baronial Leader 
means a fresh look at ideas. it is a time to be excited. 

I remember my husband's favorite story about Lincoln Stephens. (I 
want to make it clear I am not calling the future Baroness a corrupt 
politician.) Chicago was run by a machine. The people in Chicago 
wanted a new bridge. They came to Lincoln Stephens and asked him what 
to do. he told them to ask the Mayor. They answered he is corrupt and 
bought his way into power. Stephens said ask him anyway. They did and 
he was happy to build the bridge. He might of been corrupt but he was 
still the Mayor of Chicago and wanted the people's support. Duke 
Jonathan tells people to always ask and remember even the worst 
people will sometimes  do what you want. 

I can not  number the times I have been in political conflict with 
people and went to them with projects and they have agreed to help we 
with them. These were people I was having knock down fights with and 
they helped me. Think how easy it will be to talk to Lady Kathryn who 
is a gracious, kind lady. Please keep in mind that she will have to 
sort things out and it may take time to get to your request.
