[MR] "Blue Scarfs" and "Free Scholars"?

[Aedan Aylwyn]

By "I think the OP may actually have the details wrong", I meant Order of
Precedence and not "original poster".  I truly think that the precedence
listing is wrong and it was Steffan and Twila that created the order and
inducted the first 4 members somewhere in northern VA/MD at the inaugural
event in Feb.  I was there and I have some vague interest in this ;-), so I
don't blame anyone for just going by what they see listed in the OP.

I've asked the original members about their recollections and possible proof
and we'll see about fixing the OP if necessary.

Apologies if I implied that C&A created the order; the only information I
had is dates of induction of members, which isn't the same thing. Did
Steffan and Twila actually induct any members? It's certainly possible for
one reign to create an order (by putting it into kingdom law and all that)
but for the first member[s] to be inducted in a different reign. Not
necessarily likely, but possible.

If there *were* members inducted by Steffan and Twila then it would be good
to know. It's nice to have an accurate OP and all that (he says, wearing his
assistant CoP hat).
