[MR] Sad News from the Middle

[E L Wimett]

It is with great sadness that I must tell of the passing of Wilhelm von 
Bremen, founder and proprietor of TentMasters.

Many of us have known Bill for more than twenty years and his tents have 
given shelter to thousands of Society members over the years.  His tent at 
Pennsic was always a place to go for good liquor, great tall tales and 
excellent advice.

Bill's health has been frail for some years, though he continued to attend 
Pennsic until very recently.  While his activities were restricted, we all 
hoped he would be with us for some years longer, but in April he was 
diagnosed with brain cancer.  Bill was 73.
