One of the finest Scadians I have
known was Lady Annot Healfdane also known as Momma Mongol who passed
away a bit over a year ago.
Having fought back breast cancer
several years before joining the SCA, She and Meldrigda Of Oak Glen
kept things happening in Glenn Dubh that has apparently ceased without
their strong input. Not a limelight person she was a very strong
presence for many years, and perhaps most recognized by the two canes
she needed to get about that became with her viking ship a part of her
device.
Her advances in card weaving, by
research and playing with ideas, well advanced the art and taught many
who still practice today, and even though creeping diabetes kept her
from enjoying the fruits of her efforts frequently made delicious
cookies and custom made chocolates for all her friends.
I have pictures but all taken before
electronics of this fine lady beautiful inside and out to the end. There
is so much more and I am sure there is much others could add. It has
been over a year but I still miss her deeply.
