Unofficial Positions

● Acting President; 4 months in 1999 while President Phyllis Stein was recuperating.

● SPI SF Historian; late 90's early 2000's

Skills Creative Writing; It's probable that I've penned more documents than any other Sister in any Order anywhere!

Those include the first government recognized bylaws, the first working Policy Manual, the PIMP Rules and

curriculum documents and dozens of Missionary documents as the Mistress of Missions.

Calling Names; Hellen has by far published the largest list of unique Sister names. More Sister's can directly or

indirectly attribute their name to Hellen than any other individual Nun. The current list is well over 1000 names

long and has been on the web since at least 1996.

Wimple design; If you look through my galleries, you'll see Hellen in many different wimples. And those are only

the ones that I got photographs of! Last count I have designed 13 different wimples and coronets many of which

have since been duplicated by other Houses as their official design. (side note; I haven't worn any SPI SF sanctioned

wimple since 1998)

Lash lifting; I wear some of the biggest lashes to be found anywhere.

Cheating; I unflinchingly take credit for Father Butch and Abbott Adamn Heathen's work too!)
