[MR] Sca's Premier Laurel passes away

[Duane Moore]

Forwarded from the SCA Laurels list:

Her Ladyship Sibylla (Loretta Morgan) has asked me to
inform everyone 
of the passing of her beloved husband, Master Alphonso
de Castile 
(Ron Morgan).  He died at their home, here in
Flagstaff, AZ at 2:00pm 
today, Wednesday, July 23, 2003.  He had been
diagnosed last February 
with cancer of the brain, chest & bone. 

As many of you know, Master Alphonso was the Premier
Laurel within 
the SCA, having received that honor on Jan. 24, 1968
in the Kingdom 
of the West, and then received his Patent of Arms in
that Kingdom on 
Jan. 4, 1969.  We here in the Kingdom of Atenveldt,
and more closely, 
here in the Barony of Ered Sul have long been blessed
with his 
talent, and his sharing of The Dreame.  He received
the Queens Grace 
of Atenveldt on June 25, 2003 and then the Esprit de
Soleil on July 
27, 1996.  His long residence and active participation
within Ered 
Sul was very influential in helping us to attain The
Dreame of 
becoming a Barony.  We will all miss him greatly.

HL Sibylla is currently at home and is in the company
of her mother.  
She has asked that she not receive phone calls right
away.  Please 
give her some time to rest tonight, and to recover a
bit.   

Memorial Service plans for Master Alphonso are yet to
be confirmed; 
tho it is likely to be held at Elk's Lodge here in
Flagstaff.  It is 
also likely that there will be a Memorial Service at
Highlands War 
this coming weekend for his SCA family.  When
information is 
available, I will certainly pass that on as quickly as
I may.

Master Alphonso, I am honored to have known you, and
to have worked 
with you.  

In humble service,
Lady Morgan the Celt
