"Brand here. I am saddened by the news that one of the pillars of the foundation of An Tir has fallen. Mistress Baroness Catherine Winifred of Tor Bitterroot, former Black Lion Herald and avid supporter of Madrone and more, passed from a seizure on Sept. 17th, 2007.

There was an article on her in the UW Daily Newspaper and I am working to get it on-line.

Her name may not be well known by more recent citizens, but her work still bears fruit for the people she labored to serve.

She was a good friend and I enjoyed seeing her on campus where we both worked. Requiem In Pace, Brand.
