| Mike "Big Mike" Bailey |
The evening started with a very good roast beef dinner including mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and pineapple upside down cake. Not only was the dinner good but the portions were man sized. The cooks were Kim & Mike Bailey. Mike is a PHP of Portage Chapter and a 33rd from the Valley of Akron.

Here are a few pictures Julia took of the Ladies.
The ladies gave Julia two gifts. Since they know she collects Santas she got one made of three boxes that you stack. It is really neat.

| Julia's new Santa and her bubble bath |
Gloria Tilden, Cuyahoga Falls' High Priest's wife, knows that Julia likes bubble baths so Julia got three bottles of bubble bath.
Cuyahoga Falls lodge is about 24 miles from Medina and takes about 45 minutes to get to. It is a one story Lodge and relatively large. Two lodges, one Chapter, one Council, one Commandery, one O.E.S. Chapter and the Valley of Akron call it home. That many bodies makes the building busy.
The Chapter inspection began at 7:30 PM when the Chapter was opened in the Mark Master. There were four candidates. There was supposed to be 5 but one could not make it from work. So that a class could be used, a protem candidate was added. The work was done in a fine manner and the candidates received a fine degree.
This picture shows the inspecting officer, REC Richard Snider, me, HP George Tilden, REC Ross Black, Eminent Prior William, Billy Dan, Stratton and the five candidates.
Each of the candidates was presented a 1/2 shekel as a memento of the evening. These were brought from Israel by Excellent Companion David Snyder who served as a guide for the Pastors that Grand Commandery of Ohio sent to the Holy Land.
Well another good night of great food, good Companionship, a fine Ladies program and good ritual. A fine night for any Mason.
"till the next time.
