> Greetings from the Crown Autocrat
> 
> Crown was a hit, and there are many people who to whom I am greatly indebted
> for this achievement. First, my principals:
> 
> Field Staff:
> Lady Theresa O' Cahir (Theresa Crean) - Deputy Autocrat / Royal Liaison
> Master Marcellus di Napoli (Bob Capozello) - Field Coordinator
> Lady Agnete von Köslin (My lady, Sue Schneider) - Gate Steward
> Lady Aneka Siltanen (Eliisa Harman) - Youth Activities
> Master Eadric the Potter (Rob van Rens) - Merchant Coordinator
> 
> Hall Staff:
> Lady Aveline Scargill (Rebecca Karas) - Head Cook
> Lady Maria Chiara Datini (Mary Dotson) - Major Domo
> 
> Field Staff:
> Theresa - As my deputy, and Royal Liaison (and last-minute Major Domo) you
> answered late evening texts, e-mails, phone calls, and in general, saved my
> bacon more times than I can ever thank you for. But thank you nonetheless.
> You are a treasure beyond words.
> 
> Marcellus - As an experienced Field Coordinator, I trusted you to handle the
> 'wrinkle' I threw at you (canvas/heraldry limitations), and you did not
> disappoint. I cannot begin to tell you how many people came to me to remark
> upon the 'fit' on the field, and how well you organized it. In my book, you
> have few peers.
> 
> Agnete - As expected, you and those who served with you as Gate Staff
> (Mistress Celia and Lady Vadoma) were the 'first face' of our event, and
> insured that our guests were handled with great care, and well informed. I
> heard countless people commenting upon the tokens as a 'well thought out
> thematic detail' (or words to that effect), which I believe greatly added to
> our polished presence. Thank you.
> 
> Annika - An obviously deft hand with the youth at our event made for a
> wonderful highlight to a spectacular day. The children were a pleasure to be
> around, and having lunch delivered by them made the day even more special.
> 
> Eadric - Words seem insufficient when merchants are often overlooked as a
> service to events. Thank you, most kindly for helping wrangle your fellow
> merchants that added so much to our event.
> 
> Kitchen:
> Aveline - A hearty thank you to both you and your staff (Sophia van der
> Werken, and a Lady Alicia) for a *wonderful* repast. I know it was well
> received by all who stayed for dinner, if only by the line of people at the
> kitchen door seeking leftovers to take home! I pity the fools who missed
> out.
> wink emoticon
> 
> Major Domo: Maria, while personal matters kept you away at Crown, your work
> up to the week of the event was obvious, and your service was greatly
> appreciated. Personally, you were simply missed.
> 
> Others:
> There were many who made the work lighter for their efforts. These are the
> ones I can recall by name. If you're not mentioned here, it's because my
> memory fails me at the present, and I will seek to make amends at the
> earliest possible date. [and please forgive me if I hork up your title]. -
> 
> Master Donal (Jeb Raitt) (Principal Field Herald)
> Lord Geoffrey ap Clywd (Field Decor)
> THL Arthur of the Black Watch (Field Decor, Hall Decor, Serving Head Table,
> and Clean up)
> Lord Hannus Siltanen (Field Tear Down)
> Lord Cosimo of Venice (Field Set up and Tear Down)
> Baron Connor Levingestoune (Trailer Tetris Master, Field Tear Down)
> Lord Leonhart (sp?) (Trailer Tetris Master, Field Tear Down)
> Lord Alric the Mad for the generous use of his magnificent day shade for the
> MoL's presence
> and many, many more who also pitched in to clear the list field.
> Thank you all! Your service ennobles our barony and glorifies our kingdom.
> 
> My 'vision' from the very beginning (and that of those who saw it) was much
> like that of Baron Ursus and his photography - to enable our guests to
> 'capture the moment'. If any of our efforts successfully achieved that for
> any one person on this special day, then we truly succeeded.
> 
> 
> I remain in your debt,
> 
> Michael Schneider
> Lord Grimkirk ap Greymoor
> Autocrat - Spring Crown 2015
> 
> p.s. - Additional thanks go out to Mistress Belphoebe de Givet for her help
> setting up the A&S presence, Lady Éadaoin an Fheadha inghean Uí Shéghdha
> (Sarah Stango) for her service at the Gate, and Lady Ceallagh Mariadhe (Kim
> Gibson) for serving head table.
