At one of our many events, when the time came to set up the Baronial thrones we discovered that some of the wooden pegs had gone missing. Wolfgang made his way into the woods and collected sticks that he broke into pieces and used as pegs so the thrones could be assembled. To me this simple act of service exemplified what service means in the Society. How small acts of service support everything that we do and stand for. As I prepared to step down I discovered that several of these small sticks remained in the thrones bags.
