Greetings, y'all --

My dad asked me to post this where ever there might be SCA folk who are
concerned for Ostgardr. The messages have been coming in from SCA folks
around the *world* -- we're totally overwhelmed with the amazing
display
of support from so far and wide.  We've been told of blood donation
efforts being set up in most of the Kingdoms around the Knowne Worlde.

Please pass this message on to any SCA-related list you think would
want
to hear these words. Thank you.

Elizabeth Camerona nicIan, MKA Jean Elizabeth Krevor

Greetings, y'all--

We here in Ostgardr have received many messages of concern and of
support,and we thank you.  My father, Baron Master Ian Mitchell of Clan
Mitchell, Viceroy of Ostgardr, sent out the following message and asks
that it be forwarded whereever people are asking about us:

A Sad Day in Ostgardr (Please forward to other SCA lists who might be
interested)

Greetings to all the friends of Ostgardr across the Known World on the
morning after from Baron Ian of Clan Mitchell the Viceroy of the Crown
Province of Ostgardr.(The Baron of New York)

First let me say that we think we have accounted for all the members of
the SCA who worked in the World Trade Center. All survived. Some of the
stories of escape are hair raising.

Thank you all for your concern.

Even though the Scadian family seem to have all escaped, none of 
us are untouched. The Deputy Chief who coordinated the Police
Department's United Way Campaign for three years (that's what I do) is
listed among the dead. I have not yet dealt with the loss of my friend.

My son, Mitch Jr. (Lord Michael MacIan), is a paramedic. Please 
keep him in your thoughts -- he works for a private ambulance company
that took heavy casualties at the base of the WTC yesterday morning.
Thank GOD he wasn't there when it collapsed, but was held at the 
mouth of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel by dispatch. He was on the phone
complaining loudly to his mother that he couldn't get in there to
help...when the buildings collapsed. And he fell silent as he 
stared at the cloud rising where the buildings had been.  The 
picture that the networks keep showing of ambulances crushed and 
ash covered is of the staging area for his company. 

He knows of one friend killed, one in very critical condition, 
twenty injured and a dozen among the missing. He is scheduled to 
be there at 7AM today, Wednesday.

People have asked, "What can we do?" My response is pray and 
give blood and money to the Red Cross.  New York only had a 
two day supply before this happened. I helped with crowd control 
at one of the blood centers yesterday. People were wonderful. 
The need was so great that the motorcycle cops were making 
pickups every half hour.  This blood need is not going away 
soon.

Please keep us all in your thoughts as we come to grips with 
what has happened to our City and our friends.
