<div dir="auto">Tara, interesting idea, the memorial game. I know there would be a few GMs that were close to him that may want to run it. GURPS. <div dir="auto">OK, well, I can't talk about it anymore right now, but just wanted to lend my support to your thoughts. </div><div dir="auto">K</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 20, 2020, 12:41 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tara Leederman <a href="mailto:taleederman@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">taleederman@gmail.com</a><br>
<div dir="ltr">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. <div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Tara</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 20, 2020 at 12:36 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Karla Freeman <a href="mailto:thesquirrelwrangler@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">thesquirrelwrangler@gmail.com</a><br>

<div dir="ltr">I just got word that Gary Gandara, one of my most involved GM's/volunteers has passed due to Covid. I am certain that by the end of this, he will not be the only one. Once we have a live con again, we should think about a memorial to those we have lost during the pandemic. Although, I am certain there will be a great deal of excitement at getting back to some semblance of normalcy, there will also be a shroud over the event due to loss and probably some remaining fear. To some extent, these people are our gaming family and we should do something to bring people together. <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Jim Sandoval</div><div>RPG Supervisor</div><div>Strategicon Events</div><div> </div><div><font size="1">Part of the problem.</font></div></div></div></div></div></div>
