Hi Karen:
time frame is for the end of June and I put it together pretty
close to that time. Means I have to start working on it soon I
guess....tee hee. Email me what you would like me to say. I'll
do some editing but not much, just enough to make it fit. I'll notify you
if it's major which it won't. You will have the first copy off the press
of Roslin O' Roslin and I'll send along a couple of back issues of that
Pulitzer Prize winning publication. More tee hees
Yours
aye,
Rory.
Rory,
I would be thrilled to have the McNokaird article in the
Canadian Clan Sinclair newsletter! Wow, I'm really flattered! I
would like to give you an updated version of the article--I would like to
add a paragraph about the MacGregor theory. What is your time frame
and/or deadline?
When it comes out, could you mail me a copy since I don't
subscribe to the Canadian letter? Thanks.

Dear Karen:
this isn't about martyr springs although I loved
Bergmans "virgin spring" and your words in this
email.
I am putting together the quaterly
Newsletter for Clan Sinclair Canada and would very much like to reprint
your McNokaird article. Not sure yet if it will be serialized or
done at one go. Anyway, that's how well I think of your work and I
await your positive response with eager anticipation...... I
remain,
Your humble and obedient servant, etc etc
etc...................................
Yours
aye,
Rory
It's interesting to hear the stories
about springs appearing where one has died. In my own family,
an ancestor died in an avalanche in 1912 while carrying mail on
snowshoes in mountainous Idaho, USA. Another carrier actually
saw him get swept away, but his body wasn't recovered until
April. They say his brown hair had bleached white and that a
new stream was flowing near his body when they found it.
Hmmm.....

>The statue of Saint Clair,
over the Holy Well, has been
removed to the safety of the
Church. The well allegedly sprung from where
the blood
of the martyr flowed.
One of Ingmar Bergman's films was
called "The Virgin Spring" It was based on
a
play which I believe was based on a Norse legend about a young
girl who was
raped and murdered. A pure spring emerged
at the site where she died.
I believe that I have run
into this in another context - a martyr's death
place marked
by the emergence of a pure spring of water. I just tried
doing a
web search and while I found some fascinating
folklore sites, I did not find
information on this particular
legend. I am wondering if there is a
connection with
St. Clare being connected with Norsemen & their applying
some
of their cultural stories to him.
