Finally on the Road Again! Kent #192 Inspection

As I said in an earlier post 5 of us from Medina County Chapter #243 were off to Kent for Kent #192's Inspection. I thought we had snow here in Medina but when we got to Kent there was 18 - 24 inches on the ground. Fortunately the roads were pretty clean until we got almost into Kent.


The Kent Lodge is located in what was the home of the founder of Kent, Ohio. It is a beautiful old home as the pictures of the fire places demonstrate. The Lodge Room itself was the ball room for the Kent Family functions and is located on the third floor. The only problem is there is no elevator or chair left so some have a difficult time getting to the Lodge Room.
The Inspection Degree was the Past Master and it was portrayed in a fine manner as would be expected from Kent Chapter. We now have 3 new Past Masters in the 17th District

The RWM of Kent is William D. Stratton affectionately know as Billy Dan by the 17th District Companions. REC Stratton is Eminent Prior this year and it should be noted that he is wearing his brand new Eminent Prior's apron for Chapter. As GHP I saw no reason not to permit REC Stratton to wear it during Chapter meetings. Council is permitting it also.


After the meeting we retired to the dinning hall for coney dogs, chips and cookies or cake.


We left in more snow that we arrived in! It had began snowing again while the meeting was going and things were just a llittle slippery until we got to about Akron. Smooth sailing from that point on home

It is great to be back on the road and to see another fine degree and have great Companionship

'til the next time.
