                Tribute to Colleen Gilbert better known as Hester to most Reenactors

We will miss Colleen so much that mere words cannot express the depth of our feeling of loss. One never knew what was going to happen when Colleen (Hester) would get that ornery grin on her face.  Once Hester & I were sitting under someone's tent fly when a group of school kids came by with their young, pretty female teacher. I was Simon Kenton that weekend, so I began talking to them as Kenton, when unknowingly, Hester had her famous fart machine sitting under me in a basket. As I spoke to the young kids & the young teacher, Hester, with her new remote control, made it look like I couldn't control myself.  Oh yea, she got me good.  After a couple times that teacher gathered up her kids & made their exits as fast as possible, thinking the smell was about to set in!  Course by then Hester's rollin' on the ground laughin' hysterically.  There was a soft, gentle side to Colleen that most didn't see. She was always worried about my health, and  others as well. She was all heart, and yet could make anyone laugh, even if they were down. The world is a little darker with her loss.
