Summer, July 2, 3043 At a press conference to day, Col Morgan Kell surprised the newspersons of the Inner Sphere for what may be the last time. He displayed a message - a verigraphed message in his dead brother Patrick's handwriting. This message acknowledged the birth of Patrick's son Christian Kell. (It was Chris Kell's mother, a sculptor in the Draconis Combine, who made the famous Kell Hound statue which is Archon Melissa's most treasured possession, the original of the statue in Tharkad's Peace Park.) Morgan Kell announced his leave of absence from the Kell Hounds, effective today! He intends to take Chris to the Wolf's Dragoons' planet of Outreach. Chris will undertake advanced training under Morgan with the Dragoon's resources at his command. Morgan's own oldest son Phelan is about to enter The Nagelring, House Steiner's prestigious mechwarrior academy from which Archon Melissa recently graduated. Phelan is to graduate with the class of '49. Lt Col Daniel Allard, husband of Morgan's daughter Megan and long-time trusted second to Morgan Kell, will take over the unit. Following the traditions of the Kell Hounds, he will continue with the rank of Leutnant Colonel. The only colonel the Kell Hounds will ever have is Morgan Kell.
