[Darkwood-SCA] Fwd: personal request

[Wilhelm]

List
In addition to "checking" with TRM it must be well known by all participants 
that this is not an official SCA Knighting. If it is conceived by anybody as 
an official SCA Knighting it is establishing an extremely dangerous 
precedence as well as being against our rules. After all, no one in Darkwood 
or the entire SCA, other then the King, can create a Knight of the SCA.

Hi-

What usually gets done for the Make-A-Wish kids?  There might be something
to be borrowed from that.

I also *highly* recommend checking with TRM if anything gets done
involving the word "knighting."  Depending on what's proposed, they
probably won't get their knickers in a knot about it - but it's good form
to run it by them in advance.  Besides, They may wish to tweak the idea,
or send a letter, or something.

>> Dearest Barony of Darkwood,
>>
>> I am writing to you regarding a very important personal request.
>> We know of the SCA in South Carolina as they were a part of our Medieval
>> Festival.
>> My husband has always been a fascinated follower of the history of 
>> Medieval
>> times,
>> and we were in training to be next in line for the king and queen of the
>> festival, however.
>>
>> Last summer my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and all 
>> plans
>> changed.
>> We have returned to our native homeland, here in the Bay Area, to receive
>> care at Stanford
>> and be surrounded by our family and long time friends. My husband has
>> fought a valiant fight.
>> He has done so well for almost a year. Alas, it appears we are nearing 
>> the
>> end of this journey.
>> Here is my personal request. I was wondering if any of your SCA members
>> would consider
>> coming to our home to knight him. This would be the greatest gift I could
>> ever imagine for him.
>>
>> We are having a Celebration of Life for Matt on Saturday June 10th here 
>> at
>> our home in Morgan Hill.
>> If there is any way that this could happen, especially on this date, I
>> would be so eternally grateful.
>> You just can't even imagine what this would mean to him. It would be a 
>> real
>> live dream come true.
>> Thank you for your consideration in making this very difficult time turn
>> into a magical memory.
