[MR] Thanks for help at Troll (12th Night)

[Ro]

And thank you, Alys for making Troll such a fun place to work!  And
especially to my brother and sister Atlantians who were so patient and
cheerful.  You made what could have been quite miserable into something to
smile about.

Vivat to us all!

> I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
