[Deptheads] Live con memorial

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Jim, that would be an excellent idea. When we finally get to go back to
normal, we have to remember that that normalcy will be missing the light
and faces of many loved ones, and we would be remiss to behave as though
nothing happened. It's going to take a lot of work everywhere to properly
mark what has happened, to mourn and hence heal.

I remember that Will did a memorial game, and we should consider a program
of memorial games for those we have lost. Gary was a GM, and his son is a
GM and volunteer. We should run a memorial game that would do Gary proud,
and have Cam involved or even have him take part in running it, to whatever
extent he's comfortable. We should also pay Gary and whomever else we've
lost tribute in the Con book--maybe a special page? We could also do a
memorial wall at con.

Best,

Tara
