[Ponte Alto] Thanks!...

[Max Nelson]

Your Excellency.  While I am grateful and sincerely humbled, in truth  
the success of Ponte Alto, Stierbach, Roxbury Mill, and the Northern  
Army (of Darkness) was *completely* a team effort and is absolutely  
the result of the tremendous skill, heart, and dedication of *all*  
involved.  This was truly a "we" effort, and we can all bask in the  
shared warmth of our mutual success and team glory.  I believe we can  
all now agree that success and glory are indeed so much sweeter when  
undertaken not just for the self, but for the greater good of those  
around us and for whom we care.  For my part, I may have helped  
provide some leadership, coordination, and on-field command and  
control, but it was truly the combined contributions of each and every  
one of us that has made our great success possible.  From your own  
work at practice and helping armour on Monday's to your Lady Wife  
Sofia's efforts with Logistics and with novice's on Mondays and her  
Baronial duties, to Kat's work with the Expeditionary Corps and the  
Mantles, to Sophia's help in camp and in the Shield Wall, to Sir  
Strykar's fantastic work teaching, and Cosimo's help training, and  
Duncan's help marshalling, and Sir Guy's help motivating, and Gunnar  
and Cunian's devotion to Ponte Alto fighting through the years, and  
Demian's help in the shield wall and with the artwork, and Bad Chris'  
help fighting and with woodworking, and Good Chris' work in the line  
and with Kat, and Lauren's work timekeeping and learning, and  
Wulfwyn's work with Tabards and waterbearing, and James' work on the  
recruitment posters, and Katherine's work as Seneschale, and on and on  
and on and on...

In some ways, the dream is all of us working together to create a  
shared community based on honor and courtesy and chivalry and prowess  
and service to each other.  And I believe we *all* are working hard  
for ourselves and for each other to make this a place where the dream  
is becoming closer to a reality.

Thanks to everyone who is helping to make that happen in any way, no  
matter how large or how small their contribution.

In service,

Baron Maximilian Von Halstern
