Queen Elizabeth II & James Bond Parachute to Olympics Opening ; Envoy Sent to Kalligraphia 13

Queen Elizabeth & 007 Make A Wild Entrance to Olympics 2012 Opening; MBE Envoy Visits Kalligraphia 13 Opening Reception

If you'd seen the spectacular,educational, & amusing  opening of 2012 Summer Olympics, you'd seen James Bond aka 007 &  the 86 years young Queen Elizabeth  as a Bond Girl parachuting her way to the Olympic London grounds. Per media, the jump of Queen Elizabeth II out of an aircraft was the talk of the world for best performance in an Olympic role. That scenario is what this fortress of enchantment is all about  though they were played by stunt doubles.

But Queen  Lizzie  didn't forget to send an envoy or an ambassador to a San Francisco calligraphy event last June 16,2012. After all the most decorated name in the world of calligraphy is Elizabeth because Elizabeth is usually the name for Queens, princesses and royalty.

Who is the Queen's envoy who dropped in to check out the Friends of Calligraphy exhibition?
