Proposal: Shucks Valkyrie Memorial Service, Saturday 10 February

[Darien Mason]

My Fellow Citizens,

 

We come upon a sad milestone. According to the Steelhead Group roster, February 10th was the last day that Shucks Valkyrie was online before he passed away from a chronic heart condition. For those of you who weren't around then, let me tell you...Shucks was a great cowboy, always warm and friendly with a sense of humor and a heart of gold, even as he told you that he knew his days were numbered.

 

Many of you may still equate him with Tombstone...one Tombstone sim claims to have his grave marker and the other named their hotel after him. But he was still very much a Steelhead Citizen of the Wierd Wild West, and I swear to you that he confided in me that he was growing tired of the Tombstone drama, and planned to make Steelhead his new home before he passed.

 

At the next Town Meeting I will propose that on the anniversary of his departure from Second Life and in honor of his First Life, we hold some form of event in his name...it could be a ball or a candlelit vigil. Further, it may be one of my pet causes that you're tired of hearing, but I would again propose that we name the train station (or theatre, or some structure or street in Steelhead or Harborside) after him.

 

Sincerely,

 

~Dr. Darien J. Mason
