Vanity

[msmemory_archive]

Leetle bitty steps. A month ago I sent in paperwork and payment for a vanity license plate "PELICN".* I haven't heard anything - I'd expected to get an acceptance note from the RMV by now - so I just went and checked. PELICN is not available. Assuming nobody else applied for the same plate in the last four weeks, it looks like it's been assigned to me and I just have to wait for the plates to be manufactured.

*It's PELICN not PELICAN because there's a 6-character limit in Mass.

Does anyone except you, me and metasomething even remember Taran?

I remember him, and Lark. Met them when I was in college, and eventually I lived down the street from them for a year or two in the late 80s.

His funeral was held in Hawai'i by his parents. But his memorial service here in town was packed to the rafters, and out the door.

Umm, yeah, we original Silverwings go waaaay back.

Of course I do. When I was new to the SCA, he and Lark were very kind to me, and he encouraged me to learn book heraldry. (Later in his life, he had problems, but that's water under the bridge now.) I have his Papworth's, not that we check conflict in that any more.

This is actually good to hear. Too often lately, I've been telling SCA stories and having the people around me say "who?" when I mention someone.
