  • Separately Elevates and Broadens Our Masonic Experience
    There Is So Much More Message from Robert O. Ralston, 33o Sovereign Grand Commander, A.A.S.R., N.M.J. One of the many exciting insights that is revolutionizing American business is something called teaming. Automobile designers, manufacturing experts, marketers, advertising specialists, engineers, and others at Ford locations across the world worked together to create the new Ford Taurus car. The end result is a far better product brought to the market in loss time and at lower cost. The total resources of the Ford Motor Company were involved in creating the new car. And it all happened because of teaming. The lesson of teaming applies to Freemasonry. Each Masonic body has a unique perspective on our Fraternity, as well as specialized resources and members with unusual expertise. Each Masonic organization is an incredibly important and valuable resource for all of Freemasonry. Each Masonic body contributes to the rich texture of the Fraternity, builds member allegiance, serves noble charitable purposes, and extends the reach of Freemasonry. But even with the many wonderful accomplishments of the individual organizations, we cannot fulfill our Masonic mission alone. Each group is a facet on the Masonic jewel. Each Masonic body makes a contribution that enhances the lives of the others. We are enriched by each other. Most importantly, we are all Masons. The Symbolic Lodge binds us together, and it is this common Masonic experience that makes it possible for us to be Knight Templar Masons, Scottish Rite Masons, and Shrine Masons. What we do separately elevates and broadens our Masonic experience. The Internet is making it possible for tens of millions of people around the world to talk to each other at home and at work.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.
