[MR] Free Scholar prize

[mcameroun at comcast.net]

As some of you may know, I had the pleasure and honor of fighting my Free 
Scholar prize at this year's Pennsic.  I wanted to take a few moments to thank 
those who made the opportunity possible.  First and foremost, I am grateful to 
my primary sponsor, Connor Levingstone, whose humor, encouragement, and love of 
fencing  are inspiring.  Also, thank you to my other sponsors: Aedan Aylwyn 
(who has played a major role in teaching me the art of defense, 
especially 'hand-picking'), Alejandro Mateo Ramirez (whom I am proud to call 
Cousin, despite his Spanish inclinations), and Gunthar Drakenburg (one of the 
most elegant fencers I know). In addition, thank you to my Free Scholar 
liaisons: my loving husband, William Cameron, and my good friend, Briana of 
Skye.

Finally, to those of you whom I fought that day: thank you for your wonderful 
donations to my prize box, and - most especially - for the splendid challenge 
that you all presented to me on the field.  It was a day that I shall hold in 
memory for a long time. Meanwhile, I remain

In service to Atlantia and Courtesy,

Dame Margaret Cameron
