Pelican Master Thin Robert of Laurence was the Kingdom Chancellor at the time Caid became a kingdom. In the photograph in the sidebar, he is serving as Chancellor, witnessing the coronation of Martin I and Neptha I, with the kingdom sword of state drawn (this duty is now performed by the Kingdom Seneschal).

SCA History

His first SCA event was the SCA’s first-ever overnight Tournament, a coronation, held on May 17-18 1969, AS IV in Oakdale, California. It was the first of at least 5 events he attended in the West Kingdom ending with the Coronation May 24, 1970 in Tilden Park in Berkeley, CA. He was the part of a contingent from Livermore High School that changed from event to event and included Karen Shearer, who later married Duke Fulk de Wyvern and became a duchess by courtesy.

Rediscovered the SCA at the Garden Theater Festival in Hollywood, 07/10/76 and remained in the SCA until mid-1994. This was his most active period. He rejoined in 1999 and let his membership lapse in 2003.

Thin is still seen at an occasional event, usually an old time tourney, local Dun Or event or where he is appearing in a play.
