[MR] Passing of a Legend

[JBRMM266 at aol.com]

I had the great pleasure of meeting Sir François at a couple of Pennsics,  
but it was during my Tour of the Known World in AS XII that I discovered the  
measure of his chivalry and courtesy. When I came into what is now Wyrmgeist  
(Baton Rouge), but I think it had a different name then, I had the great  
privilege to be his guest. 
 
So gracious his hospitality! He told me that his custom was to give his bed  
to a guest, and sleep on the couch himself. Despite my protestation that I was 
 quite well accustomed to couches and carpets (I had an air mattress with me, 
in  fact) he insisted, and I accepted.  
 
I also recall an evening of good fellowship with Sir François and several  
other folk of the area. Everywhere I went on that tour I was received most  
graciously, but there was without a doubt the most gracious of all.
 
May all who knew him bless his life and honor his memory.
 
Your servant aye,
Donal Mac Ruiseart
