McCutchen Chapter No. 96 Inspection

Last night it was RECs Porter and Nockengost that joined me for the inspection of McCutchen Chapter No. 96.  This Chapter is located in Upper Sandusky about 92 miles southwest of Medina.  It is the home Chapter of MEC James McDonald.  It is about a 2 1//2 drive. It is almost all 4-lane highway which last night, must to our surprise, was clear and dry.

We got to the Lodge just in time for a very nice swiss steak dinner.   Now I did not need the dinner because Julia and I had eaten earlier so I just kind of picked at it.   It was good and it was served really hot.

The Lodge is upstairs and it a nice room, somewhat eloquent and very well maintained.  I have to thank EC Tom Zeigler for taking the pictures as I forgot my camera,   The picture taken from the balcony is great shows the very well.   For those Companions viewing this site, you can tell the degree of the inspection fairly easily.

The numbers one seven six in the east are those of the Lodge.

The inspection was done in a fine manner.   Royal Arch had to be opened in short form since this was the Chapter's stated meeting nigh.    The Most Excellent Master was open well and the degree was conferred in fine form on one candidate.  The inspection officer was REC David Vasser as REC Joe Hickman work as King Solomon in the degree.

I meant to have EC Tom get a picture of the little lounge where you first come into the lodge but forgot to ask him to do so.   He did get me this one though.   I think it is a very nice little setting area just to talk and visit.

Another good night of dry roads, good food, good ritual and good fellowship.

'til the next time.
