Alison was majestic. She was not a small lady to be sure. No, quite the contrary, She entered the room with the same royal grace as tall ship in full sail gliding across the sea. Whether you were a friend or an enemy, you were bound to take notice. She held her head high, turning to neither the right nor the left. Every place she walked, every place she stood became exactly where she should be at that moment. Her long hair entwined in pearls flowed in a way oblivious to the conventions of gravity. Her long. dark dress whipped and twirled in her wake. When she finally took her seat, she swept around and settled in, not so much sitting as enthroning herself. She was offered a drink which she accepted with a barely perceptible nod. She held the crystal glass like she held herself, with an artful and easy dignity. Her eyes sparkled and the corners of her mouth bent upward as those around her offered their greetings. Those who had been talking in twos and threes now arranged themselves around her, courtiers attending court. Her husband, [[Waldt von Markheim | Waldt]], came in next. He was never far from her. Tall, bearded and broad of chest, he marched in as if at the head of a conquering army. He caught sight of his wife and smiled. She dipped her head in recognition and then blew him a kiss. He took his place beside her, a place that he seemed born to hold. Wine was not his beverage, so he was presented with a brew cold, green and sweet. He sat and crossed one leg over the other. Without looking and without effort, his hand found hers and took it. Her head turned slowly from her conversation to look on him as he returned the greetings of those around him. A small smile passed her lips and she squeezed his hand so gently that none but he would know of it. Then, she returned her attention to her court. ~ [[Eadwynne of Runedun]]

Memories

Alison was majestic. She entered the room with the same royal grace as tall ship in full sail gliding across the sea. Whether you were a friend or an enemy, you were bound to take notice. She held her head high, and every place she walked, and every place she stood became exactly where she should be at that moment. She was full of self-assurance (which broke down occasionally in private). She rejoiced in the shared fantasy that the SCA created - an idyllic light in a gray and often ugly world. She and her husband, Waldt, were not only great as a couple but as Baron and Baroness. She was an excellent organizer. The Barony of Dreiburgen was new with little experience in how to be one. She insisted that everyone contribute – which didn’t always agree with those who just wanted to “play.” But she was also very protective of “her people,” which meant anyone in her Barony. She believed in people and in their potential. She was not afraid of differences. She was a Taurus and she embraced all that meant, especially the stubbornness. She was not shy about telling me her opinions about this belief or that belief, or of one political structure or another, but she was completely tolerant and supportive of differences. I think that perspective is one of the things I miss about her most. It wasn't enough to "agree to disagree." She reveled in the psychedelic nature of relationships with widely diverging viewpoints. She was never shy to debate, but friendly disagreement only made friendships stronger. Many people including myself owe her a great debt for her guidance.
