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...
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to everyone who is helping to make that happen in any way, no
matter how large or how small their contribution.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In service,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Baron Maximilian Von Halstern</DIV>
