Memories

My time in the SCA has always been marked by the fun I have had with people who were goofy like myself and willing to play. Early from coming back from Delaware to Caid in 2007, I met Olaf and we were kindred in a lot of ways. We fought in the Guardians, served together multiple times on various courts as guards, sought each other out at wars and tournaments and joked with each-other, getting along easily. Olaf was always extremely slow to anger and very quick to a comradely smile. He loved to hang out and chat, and always seemed to be enjoying the day whenever I saw him. He loved to fight sword and board, not so much I think because he wanted to win accolades, but because he loved to play the game with his friends; always people he would talk about after a fight with such respect and dignity. He just loved..being. The news I just received that he passed away suddenly at a tournament earlier today is overwhelming and heartbreaking. While he passed among his best friends doing what he loved the most, I am ever mindful that life is incredibly fleeting and 2024 is a year that seems to like to remind us of this constantly. Mike/Olaf, you are and always will be my friend, and always will be very much missed. - Meester Theonis de Zeeuwe
