now it can be told

Yesterday Dani and I went to the Canton of Beau Fleuve for the elevation of dagonell and cigfran_cg to the Order of the Pelican, the SCA's highest award for service. Yay!

I hope people who weren't in the ceremony like I was will post pictures (and tell me where :-) ).

My goodness! Great (overdue) news. These two have been around -- and working -- forever.

Yeah, I'm really happy about this!

I was prepared to be asked to be the Pelican speaker and was instead asked to speak as a Laurel -- and while I said a bunch of stuff about their work in the arts and sciences, I know I also left a ton out too. Yeah, quite a while...

Sorry about that! :D Otfrid and I attended our first event together. To me, it was a no-brainer that he would be our Pelican. Afterward, it was pointed out to us that all five of our worthies were Pels.

Oh, please don't apologize for allocating the speakers the way you did! I had completely forgotten to plan for Otfrid needing a slot. I'm sorry my words weren't as eloquent as they could have been, but that's my fault, not yours.

Indeed. Over 25 years, maybe 30?

26 years. Otfrid and I attended Hasdrubal and Amber's Coronation for our first event. Richard Tyler of Swiftwater, Cigfran and Lady Deirdre (Otfrid's then-lady) attended Pennsic that summer as their first event.

Um, yeah.
