Halcyon's retirement came as a surprise to us all, and probably for good reason. I've had a habit of talking him into coming back and taking positions in the past. Had I the chance to talk him out of retiring, I would have done it. ;) Halcyon has been a great motivating force, an organizational mastermind, and a creative monster in his terms in various positions on the Dark Council. Overcoming the cries of Bias and showing his chops as a Leader of the club, he would have made a great Grand Master. We could not have run this last Vendetta or the GJW as well or as seamlessly without him. Halc has been one of the finest people that I have had the pleasure of working with on the Dark Council, and he's been a solid friend.

While we will feel the loss of his guidance, we all wish him the best in his engagement and marriage, his real life career.

As a token of my appreciation, I have felt it necessary to break tradition and award him with the Silver Sash. We normally only award this on Exodus Day, but this situation warrants the exception.
