• In the event of an award: Please send me a notice to be at court, virtual or otherwise. If the award is a peerage or a once a reign type award, if possible I would prefer to receive the award in person, although a virtual Writ would be more than acceptable.

If a peerage ever gets put in the works, I would rather be titled as a “Peer of the Realm” instead of a Knight/Pelican/Laurel/Master of Defense
