Other Information

About the photo:

  • Took me a bit to find the picture, but it's a "Calontir history 2-fer." The garb he is wearing was made by Master Robert Sartor von Pays-Bas. The GARB is so snazzy (the picture doesn't really come anywhere close to doing it justice) that it has it's own name. When he wore this, it was "Master Juan and Gaston (the garb) are attending X event." This one was at a Crystal Ball, probably in the '90's. --Fiondel

In Memoriam

  • [He] invited us into the SCA, even paid our first event fees. This is the end of an era. --Kajsa Nikulasdotter
  • I know his memory will be a blessing, because it already is for me. I have cherished for almost forty years a memory of his Laurel masterwork demonstration, the famous soliloquy from "Richard III" done in carefully researched period style. His research methods have just changed. Now, he will be able to trot over to the Valhalla Shakespeare Company Theatre and chat up the original cast. Break a leg, Maestro Juan. --Jenna of SouthWind
  • I am stunned stupid and speechless. Juan was old and not well, but I thought of him as someone who would just always be there. And for many of us, I think he is - an eternal part of the history and evolution of Calontir. --David Tyndall
  • Juan dragged me to many events when I was a struggling young newbie, regaling me with stories (and gossip) of the early days of Calontir. So many nights gaming, holidays spent with chosen family, I am heart sick. Ochon! --Aed Mac Cormac
  • I am so sorry to hear this. Juan was one of the people I met in my very early days of the SCA, and he was indeed a driving force in the founding and formation of Calontir, as well as one of those who knew so much of its history. --Elasait
  • I am at a loss. He was my Laurel. He put a shy girl in a one of his plays. We talked often of doing a masterwork vs a bunch of related medieval things. --Mary Slainey Haselbauer
