[Artemisia] Hall of Honor?

[Archer1229 at aol.com]

Cousins,
 
It is with great delight my idea has been so well received, obviously there  
are some details that need to be worked out, but nothing we can't  overcome.
 
I used the word "chapel" only because I couldn't think of anything else to  
call it.  I don't even know if "chapel" or "sanctuary" by definition  can be 
used in a secular context, which was my intention of the structure.   Those 
standing vigil can decorate the space however they see fit. 
  
Perhaps we could use something like "Hall of Honor" as a working  reference.
 
I certainly had no intention of excluding non peers from the  structure, my 
idea of putting the peer names  in the vigil area inside was  to inspire those 
sitting vigil.  I am heartened to learn this is not  necessary.
 
The problem of multiple vigils occurred to me too, the heart shaped  
structure mentioned earlier would go a long way to solving that. One idea of  mine I 
rejected was a circular structure divided in three parts with no outer  walls, 
but this would look too modern, like a rest stop picnic pavilion.
 
I like the idea of a six sided structure as well.
 
Could we/should we make this a period construction project, using only  
period materials and tools?
 
How big should it be? 
 
Obviously, we've just started discussing this, perhaps we can set some time  
aside at Uprising to discuss this as a group and people (everyone) could bring 
 ideas, maybe even sketches or photos of details they would like to see  
incorporated into the structure.  Nothing at this point is set in stone,  (pardon 
the pun), and anything is possible.
 
I never would have thought of memorial books, a beautiful tribute,  portable 
as well.
 
Do good work
