Hywela,

What would you like for a memorial?

I personally am not locked into the idea of shields and I can absolutely think of other possibilities. What we might run into is a logistics issue of what space might be at 50th, but it doesn't hurt to see what kind of flexibility we might have.

I hate this idea.  I have absolutely no desire to be represented after I’m gone by some sad Coat of Arms on a dusty banner.  And I don’t believe that any of the ones we have lost would want to be remembered that way.  I had always hoped someone would take up Crag’s Histories and carry on with them.
