Memories

I tried to put together a household of a group high school friends when my Knight, Sir Waldt von Markheim left the area. Only one of those I asked seemed at all interested, Elgil. He was a big Tolkien fan and the idea of a house of Honor and Chivalry appealed to him. We eventually gathered others including our High School friend, Roger de Boeuf. Another friend of mine, Walter of St. Jacobs had convinced a number of us to go see Monty Python and the Holy Grail in full garb (I in my chain mail) which was playing along side of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Quadrophenia. I remember a fellow in a sparkly corset, fishnet stockings, a large pearl necklace and a big black wig took a look at us and said, "What are YOU FREAKS?" This is where Aladric of Litchfield first saw us. Both he and his brother Malcolm Alberic joined us soon after. The household grew larger from there. Because the initial members were Notre Dame High School alumni, our then-Baroness, Rowena de Segovia dubbed our Household, "The Catholic Boys." Aladric and Malcolm were actually Episcopalian, who Rowena laughingly called, "Catholic Light." We weren't all Catholic nor were we all male, but the name stuck. A lot of the people from our household went on to make great names for themselves and I am proud of that. We had some great people in and around the group.
