Anway had bypass

 

Anway01.jpg

 

Brother Chuck Anway, 32°KCCH one of our newest Knights Commander Court of Honor members is seen here still wearing his black hat.  On September 23rd he will receive his red hat in Tacoma.

 

Isn’t the Rose Croix Cross in the background just fitting for this article?

 

The Bypass was successful with a hitch, they had to put a stint in an artery they used for a bypass because it went into spasm later in the day following the bypass surgery.  He gave everyone, I think including his doctors, a scare and had to be taken to the Cat. Lab. to find out what went wrong.

 

The stint fixed the problem and Chuck passed his one week physical and was approved for driving so he is no longer a shut-in.

 

Nice to have you back among the driving and going to meetings group, Chuck.

 

 

 

The Rite in Scottish Rite

By Steve Cronkhite, Venerable Master

 

04.jpgDid you ever wonder what a “Rite” is?  I got curious the other day and looked it up on Webster’s Dictionary.

 

Webster on “Rite” is as follows, “A prescribed form of conducting a ceremony.”  Obviously our founders felt that ceremonies are a very important part of what we do.

 

In our day to day working in the Rite who knew that ceremonies are such an important part of what we do that it was included in our name?  How much attention to we pay to perfecting our ceremonies?  The ceremonies in our Rite are obviously part of the educational program of the Rite and we should pay more attention to the makeup and display.

 

The symbol shown above is a key symbol in one of our degrees.  If those of us who are in charge of your education as a Scottish Rite Mason have done our job well you should know what degree this symbol is associated with.

 

Bring your answer to lodge on Wednesday September 5th we will be recognizing those who figure it out.
