From Doria Tecla
In the early days of Dun Or (once called Dun Calma, before the Heralds decided that it wouldn't do for a branch name) Peter was the great instigator: let's have an event, let's have a light-weapons event, let's have a war. Each and every time I would disagree, and every time we would end up having the event/project that he wanted and I ended up working to help. Peter and I co-autocratted the first event in the then-unnamed canton and we co-autocratted the last anniversary event as a canton on the day we became a barony. It seemed important at the time, and more so even now.
How did I come to be a founding baroness? Peter. I had held out for quite some time to the latest idea of his, but then I had a leak in my laundry room pipes. Once the pipes were repaired, I was left with a mushy mess that had once been a plastered wall. Peter offered to help. For an entire weekend, we worked on the wall, and Peter talked. I held adamant through almost all of it but Peter, being Peter, found my achilles heel when he said "You can give awards to the populace of Dun Or." He had me there and he knew it. By Sunday night, the wall was drying and I had committed to running. It was all his idea, and for better or worse, my early participation in the Society I credit to Peter saying, "we need to do this."
He will be missed profoundly.
Mistress Doria Tecla, Baroness Dun Or
