Masonic– By Unknown Was taught the meanings of the emblems There comes a time in each mans life The compass and the square. When he should look around, As I heard those early lectures Might search out new knowledge I was soon to understand, Might travel some new ground. That man's not judged by worldly wealth I too, did need direction When he holds a brothers hand. To balance out my life, When I memorized to prove myself To give me some new interests I thought 'twould never end, Way from daily toil and strife. What I did not know in masonry I had heard about Masonic Would be most trusted friends. Who helped children when in need, Have now given most the ritual I also heard no one was barred And heard it o'er and o'er, Cause of colour or of creed. Each time I hear the work well done I signed an application I learn a little more. And some time would pass before, There is a valued teaching in that book I was told I had passed the ballot When e'er each page I scan, And was admitted to the door. 'Tis a guide for me to live by As I followed in the footsteps To be better man. Where so many men have trod, I am strong on visitation I was asked in whom I put in trust I hope it never ends, I said it was in god It is here we aim for better work As I knelt before the altar And we meet a host of friends. And the lights I first did see, Yes I've been a mason many years I did not fully realize And have passed three score and ten, What that light would mean to me. I have found a challenge in the work Had repeated obligation And would like to do it all again. 2 Saw the open bible there, Sentinel Page 3 Valley Officer’s Contact Information Nathan Neff, 32°, KCCH Personal Representative of the SGIG (503) 226-7827 x3 [email protected] Sean McCallum, 32°, KSA Nathan Neff, 32°, KCCH Acting General Treasurer Acting General Secretary (503) 226-7827 x6 (503) 226-7827 x1 [email protected] [email protected] Shaman Anderson, 32° Steve Gatton, 33° Venerable Master, Lodge of Perfection Wise Master, Rose Croix [email protected] [email protected] Charles Adams, 32°, KSA Sean McCallum, 32°, KSA Commander, Council of Kadosh Master, Oregon Consistory [email protected] [email protected] Eric Gazow, 33° Damon Van Beek, 32°, KCCH Orient CFO, Clarke Trust Admin.

  • Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth)
    Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth) TRIP #1: ROW 1 #1, 1B: VISIT HISTORIC TROUTDALE Coined the “Gateway to the Gorge,” this city at the western boundary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area provides a great starting point for your road trip. The town was named in 1880 by Captain John Harlow, who had a trout-stocked fish pond in a small dale near his house. #1, 1I: SELFIE WITH SAM HILL “Who in the Sam Hill was Sam Hill?” Sam Hill was larger than life. He was a businessman, philanthropist, and an advocate for good roads. Sam was the driving force behind the Columbia River Highway; in fact, it’s safe to say that without his influence, there would be no Historic Highway today. Stop at Portland Women’s Forum State Park and locate the profile of Sam Hill on a plaque on the big rock near the entrance to the park. I’m sure Sam will hold still for your selfie. Share your photo on Instagram at #gorgebingo if you want. Note: There is a new bronze statue of Sam Hill and Historic Highway engineer Samuel Lancaster at Visionary Park & Monument in Troutdale. Feel free to take a visit. #1, 1N: HISTORIC ROUTE 30 SIGN The sign reads “Historic Route” with “Oregon – US 30” on a shield in the middle located along the entire route of the Historic Highway. The Historic Columbia River Highway is a 73-mile section of the entire 3,073-milelong Route 30, which runs east-west between Astoria, Oregon, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

  • The Benson Hotel Unveils New Stairwell Display Showcasing Over 100 Years of History
    THE BENSON HOTEL UNVEILS NEW STAIRWELL DISPLAY SHOWCASING OVER 100 YEARS OF HISTORY The twelve-story stairwell tells the illustrious history of both the property’s hundred-year transformation and Portland through archival photos and fun facts 1 PORTLAND, Ore. (November 8, 2019) – The Benson Hotel, a 287-room property located near Portland’s iconic Pearl District, operated and managed by Coast Hospitality, has announced the unveiling of its new “Historic Stairwell” exposition. The twelve-story original marble stairwell now showcases photographs of the property’s history, as well as that of Portland. This museum-like permanent exhibition was developed to honor the iconic past of The Benson and Portland, as well as to provide a truly authentic and unique guest experience. “We are excited to tell our story in this distinctive way,” said George Schweitzer, Managing Director of the Benson. “The Historic Stairwell will create an memorable experience for our guests, immersing them in the rich history of Portland and The Benson Hotel.” A Portland landmark, The Benson Hotel is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1912, it has endured over 100 years of transformation, with many notable and celebrated moments. The stairwell features photographs of how founder and designer Simon Benson and architect A. E. Doyle built the hotel, as well as its metamorphosis over the decades. The exhibit also includes images of over 50 other famous Portland landmarks, dating back to 1847. Guests are invited to learn interesting facts about the city, including how it got its name, the origins of the century-old annual Rose Festival and why SW Broadway was once called “the brightest street in the world.” The Benson has always attracted big names: film stars, musicians, athletes and nearly every US president since William H.

  • Introductory Session
    The Oregon Historical Society welcomes you to our museum. Located on the third floor is the Oregon, My Oregon exhibit. You will learn all types of interesting facts and information about the founding and history of Oregon. From the settlements of the Native Americans to the exploration by both Europeans and Americans (including Lewis and Clark) to the pioneers who blazed a trail to Oregon to settle. You’ll get to experience history by feeling some of the artifacts that the museum has to offer. The intent of this book is to provide you with some of the major highlights and items within the exhibit. As you can feel through the tactile map provided, the exhibit is broken down into multiple areas. We tried to identify some of the significant items in each of those areas as it pertains to Oregon’s history. To try and list each item shown in the exhibit would make this book extremely heavy and you would probably spend more time reading than actually enjoying the exhibits. We hope that you are excited as we are to share this exhibit with you. Portland State University student Terry Blosser worked with Denise Brock of the Oregon Historical Society to navigate the exhibit and to select key items which would be of interest to most museum guests, including you. With Denise’s assistance, Terry used his guide dog and at times, his iPhone to navigate the exhibits. He found that his iPhone was a tremendous help for him. He has Retinitis Pigmentosa. If you have a smart phone with a camera, it may help you to view some of the items behind the glass partition.

  • “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) Was a Distinguished Member of the “The Greatest Generation”
    Portland, OR [email protected] 503-319-6358 “When the war ended, more than twelve million men and women put their uniforms aside and returned to civilian life. They went back to work at their old jobs or started small businesses; they became big-city cops and firemen; they finished their degrees or enrolled in college for the first time; they became schoolteachers,” ― Tom Brokaw, The Greatest Generation Sigfrid Benson “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) was a distinguished member of the “The Greatest Generation”. He was born the grandson of Oregon lumberman and philanthropist Simon Benson. After attending Harvard Law School he was appointed Executive Assistant to Gov. Charles A. Sprague and completed foundational work for the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS). As WWII approached, Unander resigned to volunteer for Military service. In 1942 he was promoted to CPT and sent to North Africa, one of the first American officers to land with invasion forces in Algeria for Operation Torch. Fluent in French, he did liaison work with the Free French and British Commands. Promoted to MAJ, he performed essential security co- ordination for FDR’s conferences at Teheran and Cairo. He then administrated Winston Churchill’s 3-week stay in Marrakesh, Morocco planning the invasion of Anzio. This was followed by involvement in planning invasions into southern France and Germany. By the end of the “…to a Comrade-in-Arms” War he was decorated by four foreign governments. After the war, Unander rose rapidly in state politics, becoming Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party in 1948. In 1952 / ‘56 he was elected to two terms as State Treasurer.
