I would like to thank the Scottish Rite Valley of Canton for the use of their beautiful cathedral and the packet that was given to me last night. Big thanks to Jonnie and his team for the great meal. It was a great evening for me…one that I will never forget. Big thanks also to WB Bob Martelet for setting up the lodge and running the lights and RWB Goutras for an excellent job. Wait until you se…e my Gavel… Its exactly what I wanted…its beautiful…I almost don’t want to take it out of the house its that nice…thank you RWB Merriman. Congrats to all the New Masters that showed up..I hope you all have a great year and I’m looking forward to visiting with you throughout the year. Its was a big honor to have MWB Easterling RWB White, RWB Hutchins , RWB Bailey , RWB Lengler and WB Wallick there as well. Having my family and friends there to share made the evening complete, especially my beautiful lady Barbara. Thanks again to all….Mark
