Here's what we went with:

CREST: Upon a helmet mantled argent and gules upon a wreath of the colours argent and azure a cardinal proper.
MOTTO: On a scroll above the crest the motto: Spes audaces adjuvat.
I am particularly interested in your opinion of what I've ended up with--your comments on heraldry in the forum have been an education for me. Note that I had some great advice--Harold was invaluable, as were others who have asked to remain nameless. Any errors are all mine, though.
Best,
Patrick

It was well worth the journey.

Very nice arms with a lot of thought. Yes it is very difficult to design one's arms. To you and Harold excellent job.
