Who has visited?
We went this weekend or G.W.'s birthday gala. Fantastic event. We signed up for a tour Saturday morning and were the only two scheduled so it was a more personal tour. My wife found that her mom loaned an OES teacup that is on display. The Templar Chapel, while small, is pretty amazing. It's not part of the normal tour because of how small it is. Quite a view from the observation deck. A few guys from Alexandria-Washington #22 were doing catechism work. It was nice to chat with them for a few minutes and meet their newest EA. The symposium speakers were great. The gala reception/entertainment/dinner were fantastic. I managed to make it into one of the photos that's posted on their FB page.  My new cufflinks.  |

Have been there, a friend of mine is the director of education there. Worth a tour. If you are in the area, check out the House of The Temple, which is the Scottish Rite SMJ's headquarters.

He was the one that snapped the picture I am in. We've been friends on FB for a couple of years but I've only ever had very brief conversations with him. We went to Mount Vernon so didn't have time for House of the Temple. Have that on the list for next year. G.C. Cole was at the events Saturday evening. |

I am, and yes, that would be Brother Shawn. I haven't seen him in a bit, but I used to see him when I attended AMD in Washington and then Alexandria. I used to go regularly when I lived in Ohio, but I relocated to New Mexico and now Idaho and it's a bit tougher to get away for that event.

Well, if you see your SGIG, tell him one of his PGM friends from Utah says "Go Red Sox!". He'll know which one.  Shoot me your dues card to [email protected] if you want the square and compasses bling added to your profile. |

I'm not a Mason, but I've been there a few times
for school field trips and family sightseeing.
