[MR] Passing of a Legend

[Sir Godfried]

On June 8th the SCA and the Kingdom of Meridies lost one of its shinning 
stars.

Sir Francois Du Vant

Francois was knighted in 1974 by Robert Roundpowder King of Atenveldt and 
was the first Prince of Meridies and their fourth King.  He was the epitome 
of all that was great in the SCA.   I was lucky to get to know him and his 
lovely wife.  He was a teacher a friend and someone I looked up to.  Someone 
I strived to emulate.  I may never reach that star that is Francois but I 
will never stop trying.  God Bless and keep him.



Those who knew may want to go the web site Meridies has set up to honor him. 
There you can post your thought and recollections of him.



Those who have never met the individual I beg of you go to this site and see 
one of the main reasons the SCA flourishes.
