maybe.
But seeing as how downloading the last 500 headers has the next
prior posting as Dec '23, and the last SCA related posting July of
'22.
IMHO, for all intents and purposes the Rialto is no longer a

Duke Siegfried von Hoeflichskeit died yesterday. He was one of
the first four dukes of the West, when three of the four were

That's sad to hear. We have been around long enough that news like
this is getting more common.
On the other hand, we've also been around long enough that second
and third generation people are making their presence felt. Not
just those whose parents joined when they were already sort of
grown, but those who were literally born into the SCA.

I've met or known for decades. Siegfried was one of those. When
my wife died 3 years ago, we'd been married for over 50 years.

You're making me feel like a youngster and a newbie - I've only been in

But, yes. Two of the people who were formative in my early SCA career
have passed away in the last decade, and several more that I've known
for not quite as long.

Excellent! At least I'm a few years older than she is ...
