Before getting to the core "thank yous", I have some special 
acknowledgements that I would like to make:

Lady Elss of Augsburg was my greatest support throughout the process of 
getting everything coordinated for the event.  She took care of getting 
the larder to and from the event, assisted with some of the pre-cooking 
for dinner, and generally provided me with a strong arm to lean on when I 
needed it.  My own time was significantly reduced due to family issues and 
Elss' generosity of time was integral to the Agincourt feast going as well 
and as smoothly as it did.  This is all in addition to the work that she 
did in order to provide such a plentiful and tasty lunch.  Lady Elss is a 
true treasure and I appreciate her very, very much.

Alethea Cowle came up with the idea of cooking a Children's Lunch, planned 
the menu (all medieval recipes from Godecookery), and coordinated making 
the lunch happen at the event.  She made her mother very, very proud with 
her doing this and it was a joy being able to work with my daughter in the 
kitchen.  Also, a big thank you to all of the children that participated 
with the Children's Lunch; having appreciative people to eat the meal 
makes preparing the meal more meaningful.

I also wish to thank Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope for being so kind as to 
watch Alethea for me so that she could participate in the Youth Combat 
Championships.  Alethea had a wonderful time and I appreciate your 
assistance in making that happen for her with my not being able to leave 
the kitchen for more than a couple minutes at a time.  Thank you so much.

Eimhin mac Ultain, Lady Violante de Luna, and Alexi Krycek were the core 
kitchen staff for the day - taking on all jobs with grace, skill, and joy. 
 Their energy and stable presence is what made the kitchen run as smoothly 
as it did.

Mistress Mathilde des Pyrenees and Hector came in from Coppertree to spend 
their day working in the kitchen.  I don't have words to express my great 
appreciation for your assistance, especially given the great distance that 
you traveled to render it.  Thank you.

Lady Ottilige von Rappoltsweiler provided serviceware and her formidable 
presentation skills for the plates served at High Table.  It's a pleasure 
to watch you work and I am so glad that you had fun doing it - everything 
looked beautiful.

Special mention must also be given to the Vulcansmead Clean Up Crew. These 
folks came into the kitchen and immediately began washing, drying, 
sorting, schlepping, packing, and generally making sure that everything 
was clean and put away properly.  The kitchen staff was completely beat 
after a long day of food prep and having a group of folks that were not 
only willing to clean, but were enthusiastic about it.  They were all 
absolutely amazing and their contribution is greatly appreciated.  As Liam 
said in his Thank Yous, they truly did show us that service is the 
backbone of the Society.

If there is anyone that I missed, please let me know so that I may 
apologize and publicly thank you.  We did our best throughout the day to 
get everyone signed onto the volunteer list, but it's not a perfect 
system.  Everyone that assisted is very much appreciated and I hope that 
you had a good time at the event.

Written this twenty-sixth day of October two thousand and ten at the 
convergence of the Three Rivers in the centre of the most remarkable 
Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands during the third year of the reign of 
the Boy Mayor, Luke.
