We also had a another special reason to be down at the Pirates in Paradise Festival. As many of you may know, Ed Westfield, creator of the Scribe and long time rennie passed away in early 2001. His ashes have been spread out amongst the various faires this past year to reflect his love for our world. The Corsairs, their loved ones, a few fans and I boarded the Schooner Wolf Saturday evening just before sunset, went out to sea and gave our friend a sailor's sendoff. Being a former pirate and having great affection for the Corsairs, I feel he would have really liked this.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

The pictures on this page were initially captured at a resolution of 2048 x 1536. Though they are presented by Robyn's Roost at a maximum of 640 x 480, the larger image files can be supplied for prints (does a great job at 8x10 and larger) or other things. For those I have captured a picture of, I'd be happy to supply prints via mail or other exchange for the cost of materials (printed off of an HP-970Cse). This service, of course, is intended to supply a copy of the images to the subject of the picture. Distribution for any other use (in any media format), common sense dictates, will need to be okayed by faire management and/or the subject(s) of the picture.
