[Darkwood-SCA] Fwd: personal request

[Michelle Chapman-Thurber]

You all have excellent points.  I have indeed already forwarded the 
email to their Majesties, and included the "Make A Wish" allusion and 
noting that this would not be a "real" knighting.  I've left the ball 
in their court.

Thanks everyone!
Cheers,
Quentyn
