After several years of searching I finally found the SCA in June of AS XVII thanks to [[Edward Ian Anderson]]. He introduced me to the [[MacFlandry Guard]] and helped me learn about the SCA. My first event was [[July Coronation]]. I turned 18 at that event. [[Torgul and Angharad]] were crowned for the first time (see photo in the [[Torgul and Angharad]] link, I'm in the background holding an ax). I stood guard on the thrones with the MacFlandry's during the Coronation ceremony. By today's standards it was a tiny event maybe 200 people and only a few period pavilions. | |||

Her history is neat tracts will be uploaded to the wiki as time permits. She will be sorely missed by her household and many friends that she has made in the Society from the last 25+ years.

Mahala was one of my first and greatest teachers, her lessons were incalculably valuable to my progression in the Society. Her absence will be sorely and poignantly missed in the Khabeelah Tent, the Kingdom, and to everyone who made her acquaintance. She wielded unwavering class, unmatched generosity, and unswerving frankness like weapons, thus, inspiring several generations of new folks to heartily embrace the Society's altruistic ideals.

Greetings An Tir,
As is the way with all who live we all pass. Mahala who was one of our best has moved away from life as we know it. She was always there to help people and was a great fan of the old school medieval projects like this Wiki and the History is neat project. Her history is neat tracts will be uploaded to the wiki as time permits. She will be sorely missed by her household and many friends that she has made in the Society from the last 25+ years. She passed in the midst of her husband and many of her close friends who were sitting a living wake at her home in Seattle last Saturday at 11:20 pm the 25th of September 2010.

Mahala was one of my first and greatest teachers, her lessons were incalculably valuable to my progression in the Society. Her absence will be sorely and poignantly missed in the Khabeelah Tent, the Kingdom, and to everyone who made her acquaintance. She wielded unwavering class, unmatched generosity, and unswerving frankness like weapons, thus, inspiring several generations of new folks to heartily embrace the Society's altruistic ideals. So I raise my mug and say Skol! one last time to my most dearest of friends. May the doors of Odin's cabinets be slightly ajar upon your arrival to His sturdy halls. --Hjlmr inn Danski
