	Layon was called and we had a few wonderful passes, I never put point on him ,but I got close a few times. In the end he took the point and when we hugged he said, it was nice to finally fight the ~~don~~ killer. I will never forget that fight and the many others after that Queens. I always tried to found him at events and ask for pick-ups and advice. <BR><BR>		Layon was called and we had a few wonderful passes, I never put point on him ,but I got close a few times.

	Today I have been contemplative. Losing someone who was once a person I saw almost every weekend for 10 or so years will do that. Edward was a good man, and supremely competitive. At the top of his game, he was probably one of the most effective rapier fighters I have ever known. But also utterly honorable on the field. The finals of [[44th Crown\|Sereid's]] first Queens, Edward and [[Aaron MacGregor\|Aaron]] going hammer and tongs...and then they both stop. Aaron not sure if his shot had landed cleanly, Edward trying to figure it out....and after 5 or 10 seconds, he shook his head and said "no, if I have to think that long, it was good"...and fell down. This was the Edward I knew and admired.<BR><BR>		Today I have been contemplative. Losing someone who was once a person I saw almost every weekend for 10 or so years will do that.

We started in the SCA within a couple of years, were cadets together, came up at the same time...We met in many tourneys, he won most, but I would like to think I held my own, won a few. He was also there with myself and Ari at the Ravens Fort when "the cadets got bored". :)<BR><BR>		For me, he was a contemporary.
