[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 59, Issue 20

[Thomas Ashley]

I would say Finir is the first and foremost comes to
my mind.

A Wonderful and sorely missed little dwarf who stood
feet over the heads any of the SCA members I remember
from all my years of service as one who Always
Believed in the Dream and pursued it.

His Knowledge, his teachings and his advice are the
things any true craftsmen misses.

He left us far too soon and left a loving wife and in
me a wish to be better then I am as a Craftsman and a
Man.

If he is to be a "living" character in this he must of
course be Very Friendly, Very Helpful, Very Wise, soft
spoken, modest and Very Knowledgeable, otherwise he
would just be the same name but not the same Finir we
all knew and loved.
 
As always in Service to the Dream that is hardly ever
seen or followed,

Lord Athalwolf Ironhand/Thomas Ashley USN Ret., DAV.
