   Just to illustrate the incredible amount of time that was dedicated to
preparing for this event, think of those lucet cords. A fast worker can do
18 inches of cord in an hour. These cords were longer than that and there
were in excess of 100 (closer to 200, wasn't it?) prepared for the day by
_one person_, whose name is not even known to most of us. And he did it just
to enrich our day, knowing in advance that it would be, to most folks, "just
a string for the medallion". That's a lot of "manhours" for one tiny portion
of Coronation.
   I met the lovely ladies who painted the list field poles. I regret that I
don't remember their names...

   But I bring this up to ask that we give real thought to the very
time-intensive behind-the-scenes work that so many hands brought to this
event. Those were the only two I mention but not the only two I noticed as a
guest. The difference it made in the quality of the day was refreshing and
inspiring.


So thank you all,
Hrothny
