I was never much of a policy wonk. All of my memories tend toward her humorous side. I remember her along with the (no way I can spell it) Duraka folks at Mel and Gyrth's coronation: "You're the greatest, you're the best. You have beaten all the rest. We'll obey your every word, and to you we pledge our swerd." She sang along to the "Hail Setanta Chorus" at their own coronation. Driving a carload of us across Staten Island on the way back from an event, Auntie Aiden kept dropping sly hints about having known one of the other passengers (name escapes me) before the SCA. I thought about the timing of her university years and said "Was it the SDS?" It was. I don't remember when she became Auntie Aiden, but it must have been by the early 1980s.
Sigh.
