== Introduction ==

Duchess Sedalia MacNare.  I first found the SCA by having it given to me as a Christmas present.  No, really.  An acquaintance was walking through the student union building at the University of Pittsburg and saw a flyer for a medieval yule revel and as a gift for everyone living in the house, he got tickets for all of us to go (even though he couldn't go).  So my very first event was The Brothers of the Five Winds Yule Revel in BMDL.  For those that are unfamiliar, Brothers of the Five Winds are one of the Tuchux clans, so my first event was a Tuchux one.  I lived in BMDL and was active there until I returned to Long Island in 1982 to continue my studies.

== Miscellany ==
===Apprentices===
I use the term apprentice for those that have come to learn from me in either capacity, either as a Laurel or a Pelican as I find the term protege too modern for my tastes.
 
Former apprentices:
 
*Master [[Lawrence Thornguard]] - Master of the Pelican 10/16/88
*Mistress Maria (Mairi) - Mistress of the Laurel 7/2006

Current apprentices (in seniority order):
*Lady Elizabeth of Carrigart
*Mistress [[Bronwyn Acthorn]] (she is apprenticed to me as a Laurel but received her Pelican 10/11)
*Lady Katya Gordon
*Lady Fiona of Clan Kyle

===Award Information===
*My Pelican is for work mainly on Pennsic
*My CSC was for work in the seneschalate
*My Laurel is for Tudor and Elizabethan clothing
*My Maunche is for cooking

===Personal Statement===
I am enjoying a semi-retirement due to health issues but always welcome visitors, students, and anyone that might actually remember me.  Every once in awhile I think I should try and be an officer again, or get back onto the Pennsic staff, but then usually one of my eleven fur children wake me up.
