[SCA-AE] Fwd: [EK] Re: Sarnac Stretch

[Bjorn Swiftaxe]

Greetings unto the list. I am forwarding this to the Aethelmearc list
to help spread the word of this request by Countess Jolecia of
Ealdormere in honor of her late husband Count Sarnac Kir. For those
of you who may not have heard Count Sarnac passed away suddenly last
week.

I believe that this request has to be one of the most...selfless and
decent ideas I have ever heard and plan to do it myself. 

In service,
Lord Snaebjorn Hakonarson
Who realized with this request how much time he spends typing or
driving and how little he spends walking.
