[Artemisia] another founder passes

[Cat]

This is probably of note more for the oldtimers around.  I was just  
informed a friend of mine passed away suddenly yesterday.  He was Sir  
Steven MacEanruig, a founder of the SCA, who attended the first  
tourney as Sir Henderson.  He was a man with a moral compass so firm  
you could steer by it - and a sick and twisted individual with a  
great sense of fun.  Founder of the infamous Clan Kidney.  Co-author  
of "A Grazing Mace."  He was one of the first SCA legends I ever met  
and one of the ones who taught me that even SCA legends are just  
folks.  The world is much emptier without him.

On the Loss of Our Founders
(by Countess Linda of the Lakelands, Nov.97)

Long have we loved the great oak tree
for it has given us shelter when we needed it,
and for many years we have played
among its great limbs and leafy bowers.

Many are the acorns that have fallen,
and many are the young trees
that have grown from its seed.

But slowly, very slowly
and almost un-noticed
the leaves have begun to fall.
