Marie, You are a jem among a jems. You, Alexander, Maggie and Heather helped us immensely. We are much into your debts. We appreciate the time and money you spent this weekend to attend and help us.

Hugs. Please pass this missive unto Heather. She is wonderful and I hope she had a good time this weekend.

And this issue for the Midrealm has had the silver lining of an unmistakable opportunity to be those greater selves we can be when we decide to do so. Something higher, something better indeed.

I hope the ripples of this well-fought tournament color the conscience of every fighter to take up the quest for the crown.
