Many apologies... the email was not supposed to go to the MOO. Any 
responses can be sent to me privately.

> Your Excellencies,
>
> While at Pennsic, I came into possession of the bow of Count Sir Sarnac
> Kir (Ba'adur), eighth King of Ealdormere (m.k.a. Bobby Holley) who was
> a dear friend of mine that passed away last December. I don't know if
> you ever met him, but he was a  person who's enthusiasm and willingness
> to teach inspired a great many people and helped The Dream come true
> for them.
>
> It is in remembrance of him and his willingness to share knowledge and
> friendship that I wish to gift his bow to the Barony of Stierbach. It
> is a left handed 54# longbow (ML-17 1263) made by Howatt Tradition. If
> it passes inspection, I would very much like for it to be part of the
> baronial loaner gear. Should any gentle come to use the bow, become
> attached to it and want to purchase it... it must never be sold, but
> given as a gift.
>
> The only thing I ask for in return is that if for any reason, the bow
> breaks or becomes unusable, it be returned to me for disposal no matter
> how many pieces it is in. This information would need to be passed on
> to any new owner should there be one.
>
> Should you find that this request is unusual and want to turn it down,
> I will not be offended or take it personally. My goal is only to find a
> home worthy of his memory and spirit. The vast kindness and willingness
> to share, not just in archery, but in all things, that Stierbach has
> shown me made me think of it first when deciding what to do with my
> gift.

> Thank you for your consideration,
