What a Week

This past week was Grand Council at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Grand Chapter at the Roberts Center in Wilmington and then Grand Commandery in Columbus.

Pat Lively was elected as Most Illustrious Master of Royal and Select Masons, and John Clime as Grand Commander.

To get the flavor of Grand Chapter I suggest that you go to the Grand Chapter Web site and look at the pictures taken by EC Tom Ziegler. There are over 400 of them. On page 14 of the pictures you will see my hat which got a lot of laughs.

The most stirring thing to come from Grand Chapter was making REC Companion Steve Oliver an Honorary Past Grand High Priest. I was privileged to make the motion for this to happen. However it was the second of the motion that was memorable. Most Worshipful Brother Terry Posey made the second. He and Steve had been in line together in the Valley of Dayton and had been a speaker at Steve's funeral. The motion passed unanimously. Steve Olive shall be shown on the records of the Grand Chapter of Ohio as an Honorary Past Grand High Priest and under the title of Most Excellent Companion. I am also happy to say the Sue Oliver did attend the session at at the Grand Banquet was afforded a standing ovation.
