It is late I may write more tomorrow. It was a fantastic night.
And so it is tomorrow and I am still processing yesterday. I am so very proud of this Lodge and its (new) traditions. We were not even thinking of starting a new lodge but it happened and last night the first elected core of officers was installed by Past Grand Master, Don Mosier. It was extra nice as Don was the one who gave us our original Dispensation which started the process. He became a member of the Lodge after his term as Grand Master was over and will serve as Marshall during the coming year.
Brother Tim Bonney who was our first Worshipful Master handed over the reigns of office
to Brother Kurt Hoffmann who has an ambitious plan laid out for the Lodge for the ensuing year. It is appropriate that his first act as Master was to have Brother Bonney presented behind the Altar and gave him a Paul Revere Jewel. This beautiful piece of Masonic Art was made at The Master's Jewel in California. Brother Bonney almost did not receive it as when I opened the package I decided that I would just keep it because it is so beautiful.
I have one of Drew' pieces. Mine is the "Man Who Would Be King" Jewel but now I want the Paul Revere Jewel. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.
New Worshipful Master, Kurt Hoffmann's, remarks may be found here.
Following the Installation we retired to the Banquet Room for refreshments and conversation. Then some of us (not knowing enough to go home) adjourned to the library for yet more conversation. I got to bed about 1:00 AM and have been dragging all day today. I uploaded the pictures last night and wrote the minutes of the meeting. They are awaiting the Master's approval and then I will send them out. I hope everyone had a great Saturday The "boys" and I have been relaxing
