<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unto the good Populace of our Fine Barony Marche of
Debatable Lands do Byron and Ariella send warm Greetings! We add our
heartfelt thanks and praise to those Lady Elss described as helping create a
wonderful Twelfth Night celebration. In adddition, there were many who helped us
directly and we will thank as many as we caught in the act.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to the brothers, Jeremy and John, and
Cenewyn, who carried our large pile of belongings in frigid
temperatures,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Urho for setting up a wonderful cookie
competition,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Margaret, Ts'vee'a, Hrefna, and others who
stayed with the quilt-making table for hours,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Michael Alewright for running the Baroness' Bard
competition and Bardic circle,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Arianna who took our King of Misrule (Joshua) in
hand and advised him,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To our herald, Pavel, who worked with us despite
his many other roles that day,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Catriona and Sandy for retaining for us during
court (and served water to the visiting Royalty as well),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To Hilda and Elss, who retrieved belongings we had
left behind.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We enjoyed the event immensely, but could not have
without the help of all those we mentioned and those we did not
see.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours,</FONT></DIV>
