@Anoia@mendeddrum.org brother. And I believe that may be the only time a sibling is ever mentioned.

@Anoia@mendeddrum.org I remember it as Uncle but it was a while ago I researched him It was in the 2002 @dwcon@mendeddrum.org I had my remote controlled Errol for the Maskerade he ended up with a humpback due to weight problems. In the Maskerade I had to have my German friend in the picture below pull him along as the committee had health and safety reservations about him flying across the stage & over the audience as he was fully remote controllable despite me assuring the committee that it was filled with helium & not hydrogen but it was thought it might hit hot stage lights #SoItGoes. Whilst putting it together the night before I have fond memories of an Jewel Staite look&sound alike shout "Shiny" as I flew him along the hotel corridors just after 2am when I had just finished last minute construction. Damn that was almost a quarter of a century ago I am getting old but it beats the alternative😜
