M.W. GRAND MASTER 1999-2000 CIVIL AND PROFESSIONAL RECORD Ronald R. Rogers was born on October 6, 1934 in Cincinnati, the son of Burlin R. Rogers and Edna R. Nicholas Rogers. He was graduated from Norwood High School in 1952 and received his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Cincinnati in 1957. For 35 years, he was employed by Clayton L. Scroggins Associates, a management consulting firm, retiring in 1997. Most Worshipful Brother Rogers was married to the former Cheryl L. Weatherford, of Akron, Ohio, on June 23, 1956. After 42 years of marriage, she died suddenly at home on September 2, 1998. They were the parents of one daughter, Robin Klein, of Cincinnati, and the grandparents of one granddaugh­ ter, Leslie. Most Worshipful Brother Rogers was a member of Forest Chapel United Methodist Church, where he served as chairman of finance, chairman of music, and as a member of the Administrative Board. He sang for several years in the Chancel Choir and served as its president. He also served as Area Financial Officer of United Way and president of the Forest Park Band Boosters.

MASONIC RECORD Most Worshipful Brother Rogers began his Masonic career in Ivanhoe Chapter, Order of DeMolay, where he served as Master Councilor. He received the DeMolay Chevalier Degree in 1952 and was awarded the Active Legion of Honor designation in 1976. He was raised a Master Mason in Norwood Lodge, No. 576, on February 3, 1956. He demitted to Liberty Lodge, No. 646, where he served as Worshipful Master in 1972. Liberty Lodge subsequently merged into Montgomery Lodge, No. 94. He was president of the First Masonic District Officers Association in 1978, president of the Society of Past Masters in 1987, and had been awarded Honorary Membership by numerous Symbolic Lodges. In the York Rite, Excellent Companion and Sir Knight Rogers was a member of Willis Chapter, R.A.M., serving as High Priest in 1974; Cincinnati Council, R.&S.M.; Hanselmann Commandery, Knights Templar; and St. Columba Conclave, Red Cross of Constantine, serving as Puissant Sovereign in 1999. Illustrious Brother Rogers was a member of the Valley of Cincinnati, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, serving as Commander-in-Chief of Ohio Consistory, in 1980-1982, and was coroneted a 33rd Degree Mason in St. Louis, Mo., in 1982. He was a member for 12 years of the Valley of Cincinnati's Board of Trustees, serving as Chairman for 3 years. A member of Syrian Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S., Noble Rogers was a band member for 34 years, serv­ ing as its president in 1970.

Most Worshipful Brother Rogers served the Grand Lodge of Ohio as a District Deputy Grand Master in the First Masonic District in 1984, 1985, and 1986. In 1992, he was appointed Junior Grand Deason by Most Worshipful Brother H. Ray Evans, and was subsequently appointed Senior Grand Deacon, Grand Marshal, and Grand Orator. He was elected Junior Grand Warden in 1996, Senior Grand Warden in 1997, and Deputy Grand Master in 1998. On October 16, 1999, he was installed as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of F&AM of Ohio. For many months, Most Worshipful Brother Rogers endured the suffering brought on by acute dia­ betes. During his term as Grand Master, he endured several hospital visits and operations, and, beginning in the summer months, made all his public appearances in a wheelchair. Within two months of the time he was scheduled to preside over the Grand Lodge Sessions in Cincinnati, he was undergoing daily reha­ bilitation treatments, preparing to assume his responsibilities. On the morning of September 8, 2000, just 50 days before completing his term as Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Rogers was found by his daughter, Robin, in his home in Cincinnati, having apparently passed away in his sleep. His dedication to duty and intense desire to fulfill his responsibilities, even to the detriment of his health, are traits admired and respected by all who were close to him. Masonic Services were conducted by Montgomery Lodge, No. 94, on September 12, 2000 in the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Cincinnati. 2000

INVOCATION Right Worshipful Edward E Howard, Grand Chaplain: Let us Pray. Great Architect of the Universe, Maker and Ruler of all worlds, we pray for Your blessings upon us as we meet together as Masons to celebrate the activities of this past year and to plan the future course of our great fraternity. Make us sensitive to Your will that our decisions may be pleasing in Your sight. We thank Thee for all the blessings that have made it possible for us to be here this day and we ask for the blessings of peace and harmony in all our deliberations. Bless these Grand Lodge Officers, these representatives of the Subordinate Lodges, our guests, and the whole Masonic family. We lift our praises to Thee, Great Master and Lord of us all. Amen

GREETINGS ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST MASONIC DISTRICT Right Worshipful Brother Gary C. Cox: Good Morning! On behalf of the First Masonic District Officers Association, I would like to welcome everyone to Cincinnati, Queen City of the West. On behalf of the Association, it is with the highest honor and greatest pleasure that I welcome all of you this morning to this, the 191st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The First Masonic District is here to serve you throughout these two days, to make sure you have a most pleasant, enjoyable and productive Grand Lodge. Should you need any assistance, just call on us. As we want your stay to be the very best, we will endeavor to serve you with fervency and with zeal. Now on behalf of the First Masonic District Officers Association, in honor of our departed Most Worshipful Grand Master Ronald R. Rogers, who was our president in 1978, I have a check to present to the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation. Thank you and enjoy your stay.

Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: The Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation has been enriched by the amount of $519.88 by the First Masonic District Association, and we are ever so grateful. Now to respond on behalf of the Grand Lodge, Right Worshipful Brother Steven J. Krekus, Grand Orator:

Right Worshipful Brother Steven J. Krekus, Grand Orator: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Past Masters, Grand Lodge Officers, distinguished guests, brethren of the Grand Lodge, brethren all: The warm and friendly words of welcome by Right Worshipful Brother Gary Cox on behalf of the First Masonic District and the anticipated words of the Honorable Mayor Luken on behalf of the Queen City, will serve admirably to set the stage for the 191st Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. While we are all saddened by the physical absence of the Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers, from this fine event for which he has so long wrought, we are confident of his pres­ ence among us. Only once before in the history of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, in 1861, when Most 10 Proceedings of the

Worshipful Brother Horace M. Stokes, of Lebanon Lodge No. 26, died in office, was a current Grand Master taken from our midst by the Great Architect of the Universe. Over the years, the Freemasons of the Cincinnati area have had a strong, posi­ tive effect on this community. Their charity has aided not only Masonic endeavors, but public causes as well. Many public officials served their community with the moral and ethical values that they learned in their Lodges. The business commu­ nity has benefited from the leadership of men that are proud to be brothers of ours. The beautiful setting of the city along the northern shore of the mighty Ohio River is a pleasant gateway to the state from the south and a wonderful memory for those departing for other locations to the south. Outstanding cultural, entertainment, and sports attractions that are available here make it a fine location to put down roots. .And then there's the chili. Most Worshipful Brother Chester Hodges, Dad Hodges to so many of us who worked with him in DeMolay, loved his chili. And wherever we were, he would have to sample the local favorite, but always, always preferred the Cincinnati taste. We look forward to a busy and productive session as we set the course for the Grand Lodge to follow in the new century. Freemasonry is at an intersection where we must look both ways before crossing. The legislation that will be presented has been submitted by brothers of yours as their answers to the challenges of the pre­ sent and the needs of the future. You may agree or disagree with their ideas, but never doubt their sincerity and concern for our great fraternity. Thank you Cincinnati. Thank you First Masonic District for what I know will be an enjoyable and exciting time.

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS RECOGNIZED Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: It is my pleasure on behalf of Most Worshipful Brother Rogers to present and to honor his District Deputy Grand Masters. I know they have traveled thousands of miles, they have attended hundreds of meetings, they have written a few reports, and have gotten a few comments back along the way, I'm sure. My brethren, I hope that you will understand that because we have had to build a number of things into the agenda, we're going to change the manner in which we've done things in the past. You were all introduced last night, Saturday you will be introduced again individually, either because you are continuing and receiving your new commissions, or you are retiring and are receiving your Past District Deputy Grand Masters jewels. So I am going to ask you to rise as a class, turn and face your brethren. My brethren if you will please rise and join me in extending Grand Honors to our District Deputy Grand Masters, taking your cadence from me. Again, I do appreciate all that you have done, and all that you are going to do and we respect and admire you very much and a number of us have traveled the same road and we understand everything that's going on. But no one individual can look over five hundred and some Lodges and 25 Masonic districts in 88 counties by himself. You are the right hand of the Grand Master, we acknowledge you as such and thank you very much.

PRESENTATION OF GRAND REPRESENTATIVE COMMISSION Brother Ed Howard if you would join me here at the podium, it is my pleasure to present to you on the behalf of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana your commission as the Grand Representative nearest Ohio to Louisiana. I have never figured out that language, but it is indeed a pleasure to pre­ sent this commission to you. I encourage you to communicate regularly with your counterpart and to maintain the bonds which have been established, and to enrich them. Congratulations.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION Brother Ed Rose: Thank you very much, Most Worshipful. It is my pleasure to present a couple of awards to members of your organization who have done outstanding jobs at being hospital visitation representatives. I ask all of you to think right now about the pos­ sibility of visiting some of the long term care patients that we have in this country, many of them over 75, who do not know their families, or their families know them. They need to be reminded that they're human beings. You might consider adopting them for special days such as birthdays, Christmas, holidays what-have-you. But to remind them that their sacrifices for the good of the freedom of this country is appreciated, especially by Masons. I have a special award for Brother Arthur Quade, Masonic Service Association representative in Ohio. There are no words that can be said to you to extend the feeling that I have for the work that you do as a volunteer for the Masonic Service Grand Lodge of Ohio 13

Association. And you've been doing it for some time. And I would like to read the award: "In recognition and appreciation of his character, abilities and devotion, pre­ sent this distinguished service award to Arthur G. Quade, Coordinator State of Ohio and applaud his 10 years of devoted voluntary service," signed by Richard Fletcher and yours truly, Ed Rose. Thank you very much.

GREETINGS FROM GRAND LODGE OF ALASKA

Most Worshipful Don G. Chopin, Grand Master: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Past Grand Masters, Grand Lodge Officers, brethren all: I bring greetings from the brethren of Alaska. A lot of people have asked me what Masonry is like in Alaska, so I'll answer those questions for all of you right now. Currently we have about 2,500 members in the state of Alaska. We've been fortunate over the last few years, we've been able to maintain that; we haven't lost any, but we haven't gained too many either. And I guess that in this day and age we should consider ourselves fortunate. We have nineteen Lodges and they are spread out all over the state. Alaska being such a large state, I have one of my Lodges that I drive to from my home that is about a 750 mile drive. Let me put that in perspective. I just drove up here from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which was 750 miles. So, that's quite a distance to travel just to visit a Lodge. We also have several that we have to fly to in order to visit, and those would be about a 500-mile to a 1000-mile plane flight. I would also like to mention that one of the Masters of our Lodges (he was a master of a Lodge in Scagway -Alaska, that's down on the coast) lived about 30 miles away in the town of Haines, Alaska. But he had to drive 300 miles to Lodge. He drove 100 miles up into Yukon, across the Yukon 100 miles, then across the corner of British Columbia down into Alaska just to attend Lodge. Of course he had another way of attending Lodge, and that was to fly the 30 miles, or take a ferry. He chose to charter a plane for every meeting just to go to Lodge. That took a lot of dedication. Needless to say, he does not want to go through the Lodge line again. One time as Master of that Lodge is enough. But anyway my brothers, I thank you very much for the hospitality that you have afforded me, and hope to come back in the future. Thank you my brethren.

The Grand Lodge was called from Labor to Refreshment, guests were invited to enter, and a Memorial Service was conducted for Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers. 14 Proceedings of the

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR MOST WORSHIPFUL BROTHER RONALD R. ROGERS

Welcome: (Ed Howard) Ladies and Brethren, we welcome you into our Grand Lodge session this morning to take part in a memorial to our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers. It is both fitting and proper that we should so honor this Brother who has risen through the ranks of our fraternity of Freemasons to serve in its most honorable station, that of Grand Master. God has seen fit to summon our Brother to the Grand Lodge above at a time before he had completed his term of office. We can only visualize that in that heavenly assemblage, if he is not actually presiding, Ronald Rogers is stationed among the honored and distinguished guests. Please give your reverent attention to our Grand Tyler, Right Worshipful Brother John R. Teller, Jr., as he delivers an opening prayer, after which will you please participate in the responsive reading which is printed in the Memorial Service program, lead by our Jr. Grand Deacon, Rt. Wor. Bro. Michael A. Himes. Opening Prayer: (John Teller, Jr.) Great Architect of the Universe, Thou who sets the times of our coming and our going, we thank Thee for the life of our Grand Master, Ronald Roy Rogers. We have been blessed by our associations with him, by the wisdom and leadership which he has shared with us and by the example of an upright and honorable life which he has provided for us. Grant unto him, Oh Father God, a place of rest and peace in Thy heavenly dwelling. Enclose within your comforting arms those loved ones who were most near and dear to him. Grant Thy calming grace to all whose hearts are saddened by the loss of our honored leader. Teach us, Lord, to live our lives in such a fashion that we, like our Grand Master, may continue to walk uprightly along our pathway to the new millennium and all the days of our lives, until the time that we too will be called to stand before Thy heavenly throne and there render an account of our earthly thoughts and actions. Let us not withhold from each other the fruits of the Love which you have for each of us. In Thy Holy Name we pray. Amen. Responsive Reading: (Mike Himes) Memorial: (Ed Howard) Ron Rogers was a big man. This year at the very first reconsecration cere­ mony which the Grand Lodge Officers performed there were a couple flights of steep stairs which Ron, on his artificial leg, had to negotiate both going up, which tired him out tremendously, and coming down, which wasn't much less strenuous for him. As we came down the stairs I stationed myself in front of Ron on the chance that he might miss his footing and suffer a fall. He said to me, "Ed, don't be in front of me, because if I fall, I am so big that I am sure I will take you with me to the floor at the bottom of the steps, and I don't want to lose my Grand Chaplain so early in his career." I gave way to his advice, but did try to stay close at hand to soften what- Grand Lodge of Ohio 15 ever blows might have been the results of such a mishap. Ron Rogers had a big voice which, when he wanted to use it for such, had a big effect on those who heard it. If you were to enter the Scottish Rite cathedral in the adjacent area of this Masonic Center, you might hear, still echoing around the room, the sound of Ron Rogers' voice as he portrayed the character of Sir Francis Cranston in the 20th Degree shouting out the name "Belltower!". Ron Rogers had a big sense of humor. Right Worship Brother Jack Allen, our Deputy Grand Master, shared with me the story that when Ron moved up to the sta­ tion of Grand Orator he helped coach Jack, the new Grand Marshal, in the work of the Reconsecration Ceremony ritual. Jack proceeded to generally follow the ritual but added some innovations of his own. On the way to the next Reconsecration Ceremony, Ron tried to "coach" Jack on his mistakes and told him to do it again more correctly. Jack reports that he did so, but added all new mistakes. Ron rolled his eyes and said, "So that's how it's going to be with you, is it?" They laughed heartily together. This year, as we were doing the first Reconsecration Ceremony, Ron muffed one of the passages of his part. Jack confided to Ron that he was hav­ ing trouble learning that same grammatically awkward phrase. Ron was pleased to know that he wasn't the only one who couldn't see the logic of the muffed phrase. He assured Jack that they would have a good year together. Past Grand Master Doug Brenneman related to me that when he was appointed Junior Grand Deacon, Ron was the Senior Grand Deacon and they were assigned to room together at the District Deputies' Workshop. Ron asked Doug what time he usually got up in the morning. When Doug replied "at 5:00 AM" Ron said that Doug should get ready first as he didn't even know there was a 5:00 AM. The next morning, after Doug had got ready, Ron got up and proceeded to get his shower and shave. When he came out of the bathroom, Doug was reading the stock market and surfing the channels on the TV. It just so happened that when Ron looked at the TV, Sesame Street was on. He looked at Doug with great concern and said, "Brenneman, I am really concerned about you and the future of Grand Lodge when you read the stock market and watch Sesame Street in the morning." Doug tried to explain that he could read the newspaper without his glasses but he could not see the TV at that distance and he was really looking for a news station. His explana­ tion fell on deaf ears and as the years went on Ron would continue to remind Doug of this and to threaten to expose him to all. Ron Rogers had a big ambition. He wanted very much to be Grand Master of Masons in Ohio. He wanted particularly to serve in the year 2000. When there was an opportunity to move up two stations because one of the Grand Lodge Officers resigned, Ron allowed Doug Brenneman to jump ahead of him so he could be Grand Master in 2000. Ron Rogers had a big heart which was capable of big love, both for his fam­ ily and for this fraternity of Freemasons. He had a big love of music and played in the Shrine Band and sang in his church choir. He had a big sense of responsibility and service. It is generally agreed that he carried out the responsibilities of the office of Grand Master often at the expense of his own personal well being and comfort. He would move forward following his prepared schedule of activities in spite of advice and warnings from his doctors. He did not want to let anyone down or dis- 16 Proceedings of the appoint them if he had said that he would be somewhere or do something for the fra­ ternity. In the last few years Ron suffered big losses. Just as though he had been attacked by three ruffians of misfortune. He first lost his right leg and parts of his other foot to the ravages of diabetes. Second he lost his dear wife just as he was approaching the highest offices of our Order. And third, at a lonely midnight hour he lost his life at the calling of the messenger of the Grand Architect of the Universe. Our Grand Master Ronald R. Rogers will be long remembered for his faithful service to this Royal Craft, for his willingness to offer support and consolation to his fellow men in their time of need and for his intense love of this fraternity and the Grand Lodge which he served so well. In regard to his love of music, I am reminded of some of the words of the song which so fittingly proclaimed, "This ol' house is agettin' weary, this ol' house is aneedin' paint; Ain't agonna need this house no longer, I'm gettin' ready to meet the Saints." Will you join in singing the hymn "How Great Thou Art", the words for which can be found in the Memorial Service program. Hymn: How Great Thou Art

Closing Prayer: (Ed Howard) Let us pray: Almighty God the Most High, to whom we must all one day give an account of our lives, we pray that You will give us the strength, the understand­ ing and the humility to accept Your judgment at this time of the loss of our Grand Master. We pray for the family of our departed Brother and ask you to extend to them the mercy, the comfort and the solace to face the time ahead, knowing that their loss is shared by us all, and that we all grieve the passing of a Brother we remember with the joy of his friendship and brotherly love. Amen. Grand Lodge of Ohio 17

P. DEAN GERBER AWARD OF DISTINCTION Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: Two years ago, the P. Dean Award of Distinction was created by Most Worshipful Brother C. Michael Watson, and its very first recipient was Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers. It was awarded a second time by Most Worshipful Brother Brenneman. Most Worshipful Brother Rogers desired to pre­ sent it to Right Worshipful Brother Ralph Marquis. Sadly, neither is here for this presentation. And so it is my pleasure to present posthumously the P. Dean Award of Distinction to Shirley Marquis, the widow of Right Worshipful Brother Marquis. If you don't mind, I'll be casual and say that Ralph was a Past Master of his Lodge, a Past District Deputy of the Grand Lodge, a DeMolay governor of several districts. So very, very active in the fraternity, both for the men and for the boys. But he too suffered a great deal physically, and while he served for many years as Trial Commissioner-in-Chief of the Grand Lodge, he did so with great physical distress. We are very proud of him, we recognize him, and we present you this award.

Shirley Marquis: Ralph would have been so proud. He loved his Lodge. Blue Lodge meant everything to him. All the other honors that he ever received were, I guess he loved everything he did, but Blue Lodge was his life. I accept this, and he would have been so pleased. And on behalf of Point Pleasant Lodge No. 360 in the 23rd Masonic District, thank you. We are so proud, and I loved him so, and I love this Lodge. I have always been so pleased to be part of it. Thank you.

Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: Would you please rise and honor our two very special ladies today, Robin Klein, daughter of Most Worshipful Brother Rogers, and Shirley Marquis.

MASONIC MODEL SPECIAL PRESENTATION

Most Worshipful Brother George O. Braatz: Good morning brethren, Deputy Grand Master. The Grand Lodge of Ohio has been involved in the Masonic Model Student Assistance Training Program for about four years, but during this past year, the program has accelerated astonishingly. In short, the Masonic Model is a three-day workshop to improve the skills of teachers and other educators in identifying "at risk" students in the classroom and working to intervene to enhance their educational progress. (A detailed description of the program can be found among the preprinted reports.) Ohio Masons provide these workshops free to all teachers and schools. In both 1998 and 1999, we sponsored three workshops a year. This year, with the help of the Ohio Department of Education, we have doubled the number of workshops. The Department of Education, in the last fiscal year, helped us finan­ cially to accomplish that, and more importantly, established incentive grants for schools who attend our workshops. 18 Proceedings of the

At this time, our next four workshops - scheduled for November, January, February, and May of 2001- are already filled to capacity. We are soon going to announce yet an additional workshop in April to help meet this demand. All Masons should be proud of the great work we are all doing to support this program, and we are also very privileged to be able to work in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Education and its Safe, Drug-Free Schools Program. To bring us a message this morning from the Ohio Department of Education, I'd like to introduce Dr. Hank Ruben, Association Superintendent, Center for Students, Families and Communities, Ohio Department of Education. Dr. Ruben.

Dr. Hank Ruben: Thank you everybody. It's absolutely a pleasure to be here to represent Superintendent Susan Tave Zelman, the State Board of Education, and the kids of Ohio in thanking you for your kind and generous commitment. I'm going to say something that everybody in this room knows, because your programs evidence it and your history embodies it: the successful upbringing of every Ohio child is the responsibility of each and every Ohio grownup. It is not the responsibility of our teachers, it is not the responsibility of our schools, it is not the responsibility of our social service agencies, it is the responsibility of each and every one of us. To accomplish the successful upbringing of each and every child entails part­ nerships at every level. Your model program represents not just wonderful partner­ ships between this organization, the districts, and the schools in which the programs operate. It represents a new partnership and a new sustained collaboration built around the interests of children, helping them to grow, learn, and become all that they can be. We like to talk about the child's success depending on two tool boxes. In one toolbox our teachers, our educational personnel, our social service people carry with them the instructional tools, the curriculum, the pedagogy, the technology, the capacity to convey new knowledge and new information. But in that other toolbox, reside the tools used by you and I, mothers and fathers, and other people who are commited to helping our children. Those tools are the tools of getting conditions right for children to learn, of ensuring that the child is healthy, safe, secure, nour­ ished, energized and ready to learn. That is the toolbox you bring into the relation­ ships you build through your model program. I'm Associate Superintendent for a new center within the State Department of Education. It's call the Center for Students, Families and Communities. Much of what we do is based on partnerships with organizations like yours and programs like the Masonic Model. The extraordinary local partnerships that you create, and the professional development that you offer is a fine example of successful collabora­ tion at the local level, and contributes greatly to the growing success of Ohio's pub­ lic education arm. The education and success of our children is every grownup's responsibility. You provide a vehicle for grownups to see how they can exercise that responsibil­ ity. Grand Lodge of Ohio 19

We're so appreciative of the work that you're doing. Ohio Masons set an example. This is the largest group that I've had a chance to address in the eight or nine months that I've been here. I hope to have a chance to come back and address you next year, to talk more about the success of your program, how it generates sim­ ilar programs across the state and how we think about students at risk. I want to thank you for your work. It's important. It sets an example for how the state can bet­ ter build collaboration. I'm hoping that as we in the Center for Students, Families and Communities go about our job of encouraging, capturing best practices, disseminating those best practices across the state, building a momentum behind the partnerships necessary to help Ohio children succeed, that we're going to be able to count on you to con­ tinue to build partnerships on behalf of the children of Ohio. So once again, I am proud to be able to represent State Superintendent Susan Tave Zelman, the State Board of Education, and the kids of Ohio in presenting you with this symbolic check for $50,000 to the Masonic Charitable Foundation of Ohio for continuation of the Masonic Model Program. Thank you very much.

INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF RAINBOW GIRLS Amanda Roadarmel, Grand Worthy Advisor: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, distinguished guests and friends, good morning. I am so honored to bring greetings on behalf of myself, Mrs. Margery Lowry, the Supreme Inspector in Ohio, and all the Rainbow Girls of Ohio, as we sail with faith to uncharted horizons this year. I would like all of you to close your eyes while I paint the picture of two young girls for you. First picture this, a small, shy, eleven year old girl walks into an assembly room with maybe 30 people in it to be initiated into the International Order of Rainbow for Girls. She barely raises her head, and keeps her eyes on the floor as the Sister of Faith takes her arm to guide her through her journey to the end of the rainbow. She listens to the many beautiful lessons given to her, however she only actually hears bits and pieces of it. The little girl is scared and nervous around these girls who are dressed in formals, reciting from their memory the lessons of the Order. Now I would like you to picture this. Almost eight years have gone by since that little girl was initiated. That same little girl is about to enter an assembly room, this time filled with over 700 people to be installed as the Grand Worthy Advisor of Ohio Rainbow. Unlike the first time she entered, this time her head is held high, even though she is once again nervous about the test she is about to begin. She gladly allows the Marshal to take her arm to conduct her to the altar where she is to be installed. Her eyes look about the crowd, landing on many friends and family members who have come to support her in a year that eight years ago none of them ever expected. By now you have probably realized that that girl is me. Rainbow has affected my life in so many ways. It has taught me how important the lessons were that I received that night long ago. Of course, not every girl that joins Rainbow wants to 20 Proceedings of the become the Grand Worthy Advisor, many do not even want to become the Worthy Advisor in their local assemblies. However, if you approach any majority member, they will tell you that they would not be who they are today without the lessons that they received while they were in Rainbow. I hope that all of you will have the opportunity to visit with some of our mem­ bers in the very near future. We have assemblies scattered throughout the entire state, and we are continuing to establish more. The girls would love to have you attend the institution of a new assembly, called Millennium Assembly in Hamilton, Ohio on November 11. In addition to expanding our membership, the state is busy raising money for the scholarship fund. Last year we gave out eleven scholarships. This year we are selling golden sailboat pins, which I always have with me. I also have with me needlepoint sailboat magnets, with all the proceeds from the sales going to the American Diabetes Foundation. Our assemblies are also busy creating ways to raise money for the Shrine Transportation Units. I would like to thank you so much for your support. Our Order would not be able to survive without the support of all the adult organizations. I hope to see many of you visiting the Rainbow Assembly nearest you in the near future. And I would like to leave you with this thought. Faith gives us an anchor in a raging sea, calm in the midst of chaos, vision to know right from wrong, and the courage to express it. Thank you very much.

JOBS DAUGHTERS

Mandi Watson, Ohio Miss Job's Daughters: Thank you very much. Good morning. It is nice to be here. It's such a beau­ tiful morning and a nice drive here. I'd like to talk to you today about our youth organizations. All three of us represent our different organizations, and it's impor­ tant for you to know of us, but it is more important for you to know what we are and who we are. Job's Daughters is based on the book of Job in the Bible. The key verse is chapter 42, verse 15 which says "In all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren". This is important because in the time of Job, women were not given inheritance. It teaches us, as young ladies, to be proud of who we are. We also learn from the story of Job about faith. Job remained faithful through all the trials and temptations that he was put through. He was rewarded in the end for that faith. It helps us in our lives to learn how faith helps us, how God will guide us on our journey. Not only do we learn these lessons, but we learn how to help each other. Job's Daughters supports HIKE, which is the Hearing-Impaired Kids Endowment Fund. We raise money for scholarships for children under the age of eighteen to receive hearing devices. Without the money that we raise, they may not otherwise be able to hear. We find great pride and joy in being able to help people our own age, our peers. Seeing the look on their faces when they receive their hear­ ing aids or their grants, is such a heartwarming experience. Now I want to tell you about your role as Master Masons in Job's Daughters. I want you to think a minute when you were a few years younger and you had a Grand Lodge of Ohio 21 young daughter, or a granddaughter, or a niece and she was a newborn. You held her in your arms and she looked up at you, and you could see the dependency, you could see how much she needed you. Job's Daughters is that same way. Today you hold our organization in your arms. Without your support and your heritage, our organization would not exist. We value this heritage so much. To have a Mason at our meetings, just one, makes us feel so good. To have more than one, we're ecsta­ tic. I don't think you realize how important you are to us. You are our fathers, our grandfathers, our uncles, but more than that, you are the men who support us. I per­ sonally do not have a father in Masonry. But when I walk into my Lodge, and see all those men, and I recognize their faces, I see them as my fathers. They support me, and they will be there for anything that I need. You may not have a daughter or a granddaughter, or a niece, but you can support the members of Job's Daughters who are in your Lodges. You have no idea how much it means. Thank you very much.

DEMOLAY

Brother Jason K. French, State Master Councilor: Good Morning Brethren, Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master. This year is the 75th anniversary of our Ohio State Council, and I would like to present to you our pin commemorating this memorable occasion. Brethren, I am here today to speak to you, not just as a DeMolay but as a Mason, and a brother. It is said by many people that goodness is just a generation away from extinc­ tion. With that in mind, I would like you all to close your eyes. I want you to think about your communities. Think about how the goodness in some ways has already started to become extinct. Think about those young men that you see walking the streets late at night. Those kids who are getting into trouble, who need some direc­ tion in their lives. They may not have the kind of home life that is needed to natu­ rally instill into a youth the seven cardinal virtues of the Order of DeMolay. That young man that you are picturing in your mind right now, I would guess, probably comes from a single parent family, or from a family that has two parents that work grueling hours just so they can support the family needs financially. And by doing this, they neglect the necessary time to spend with him, which he needs in order to become a man. Now think about the virtues of DeMolay. Filial love, reverence, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness, and patriotism. Now go back to that youth. That youth that so desperately needs the fatherly influence that you could provide to him by being his DeMolay Dad. I want you all to open your eyes now. Think about the impact that your Lodge can make in the youth of your community. If you don't believe that you can make a difference in a young man's life, you are sorely mis­ taken. One of my dearest friends, who is a past state officer, would not be where he is today, if it were not for DeMolay and his chapter dad. When he joined DeMolay at the age of 13, he was a quite shy young man. By the time that he had gotten into high school, he was hanging out with the wrong people and making poor decisions. His mother, who was at her wits ends, had him removed from her house. He was out of control, he had no purpose and certainly no place to go. Except to his chap- 22 Proceedings of the ter dad, who with the help of the chapter, took him under their wings, and with his help, turned his life totally around. Today this once wild child has become an out­ standing young man, a good Mason, and is now serving our country proudly in the US Air Force. Within the next month, Ohio DeMolay will be sending out correspondences to Lodges of our great state. We are targeting areas that show a great potential for DeMolay growth. A DeMolay chapter cannot be started without a sponsoring body. We are looking for Lodges who are willing to make a commitment to sponsor a DeMolay chapter. After the correspondences are sent out, the Master of the Lodge will be contacted by a representative of the Ohio State Council. We will be inquir­ ing about the Lodge's interest in being a DeMolay sponsor. And from then on, we will begin the process of starting the chapter. We understand that not every Lodge can support a DeMolay chapter, so our feelings will not be hurt if you decline, but please, please think about our offer to bring a DeMolay chapter to your community. I will be at the rest of the sessions for this afternoon. Please feel free to come and talk to me about any DeMolay questions that you may have, or about the possibil­ ity of your Lodge starting a DeMolay chapter. If there is ever a time in the United States that we need a DeMolay, it is now. I would now like to thank the Grand Lodge for all the support that it has shown to Ohio DeMolay throughout the years. Without your support, we would not be the largest and strongest DeMolay jurisdiction in the world. And for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.

GREETINGS FROM MAYOR CHARLES LUKEN

Charles Luken, Mayor of Cincinnati: Thank you and good morning to you all. I am really pleased to be able to wel­ come you to Cincinnati, Ohio on the occasion of your 191st Annual Communication. The Masons of this city, as you know, have a long and proud tra­ dition. I think it's most clearly evidenced by the young people who just spoke to you with such poise. The work with young people, through your Masonic Lodge, and in other walks of life, the Masons have been contributing to this community for decades and we thank you for that. For those of you who don't know, and I'm sure most of you do, Cincinnati, Ohio, this part of the country, has about two million people in its metropolitan area. Mark Twain once said that if the world comes to an end, he wants to be in Cincinnati because things happen ten years late here. Actually, I think he was referring to our well known tradition for conservatism, possibly, and family values. We get there, we're just very careful about where we're going. We have two sports stadiums, and one professional sports team. Cincinnatians will get that, maybe some of you from Cleveland will understand what I mean. Let me mention one other thing before I depart, and that is, a few weeks ago, the Grand Master Ronald R. Rogers, as you know, passed away. I was glad that before his passing, the City was able to participate in the ceremony that honored him at CINergy Field, and your Brother Norman Meek presented him with a key to the City from me; I was out of town on the occasion. But his loss was felt by us all, and Grand Lodge of Ohio 23

I was heartened at least that the City was able to give him some recognition before he left us. I also would like to honor your Deputy Grand Master Mr. Allen, I understand that there is an election this afternoon, but unlike most elections I've been in, the results I guess are already known. And I understand that you're from Columbus, and they actually have a professional team, the hockey team, and home of The Ohio State University. I went to The University of Cincinnati, but on behalf of all the people of Cincinnati, in wishing you well in your continued success, in your term of service this past year and in the future, I would on behalf of all the people of Cincinnati present you, sir, with the key to the City, with our great welcome to all of you. Enjoy our City, visit us often, and I hope you will say nice things. Thank you for inviting me.

GREETINGS FROM THE ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR

Carol Jones, Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Ohio: Thank you, Deputy Grand Master Right Worshipful Brother Jack. It is indeed an honor and a pleasure for me to bring greetings from the Grand Chapter of Ohio, Order of the Eastern Star. The members of the Order of the Eastern Star are proud of our Masonic heritage, and we pledge our support for the Grand Lodge of Ohio and your many projects. We wish you much success as you unfold your plans for this coming year. The Order of the Eastern Star is the oldest and the largest fraternal organiza­ tion in the world that includes both men and women. The theme for our Grand Chapter this year is Celebrate Life. Life is a wonderful gift. It is a gift from God, and it is meant to be celebrated. We receive so many blessings from our Heavenly Father for which we are very thankful, and we want to show our appreciation by cel­ ebrating them all. I want to share a little story with you. It was a relaxing Sunday afternoon, and father wished a little relief from answering questions while he read his Sunday paper. The paper contained a full-sized map of the world. A brilliant idea came to him. Dad took the map to the dining room table, and cut it into zigzag pieces, and told his little bunch of questions that she couldn't ask another question until she had the map put together. He figured that he would have at least a peaceful two hours to read his paper. But, in a few minutes, the little tot came to dad and said "I want you to see the completed work." "How did you get this together so quickly?" he wanted to know and she replied "as you were cutting these pieces out for the map, I noticed on the other side that there was a picture of a man, so I turned it over and when the man was put together right, the whole world was put together right." The lessons that we learn in our orders, help put the world together right. Let us have pride in our organizations, have pride in our achievements, and have pride in the honors that are given to us, but let us be humble, as becomes both high and low in our orders. May God's richest blessings be with each of you as you celebrate each day of your life. Thank you. 24 Proceedings of the

Brother Terry Fusner, Grand Worthy Patron of the Grand Chapter of Ohio: Thank you, Deputy Grand Master Brother Jack. Good morning Brethren. To the members of the Eighteenth Masonic District, the Deputy Grand Master has asked me not to tell any jokes this morning. You have to be from the Eighteenth Masonic District to understand that. This is an actual story that happened to me last winter. I was invited to an Eastern Star chapter which was having its last meeting. It was a very sad time. The Worthy Matron had really done her homework. She went back through the minutes of the meeting for ten years, and found all the things that this Eastern Star Chapter had donated to this Lodge and the list was quite lengthy. And I got to thinking to myself, how would this Lodge survive without this Eastern Star Chapter? And then I got to thinking about my little Lodge in Norwick, and how much our Eastern Star Chapter in Norwick helps us. After the meeting, I was talking to the secretary of this chapter, and she said that she had asked one of the Junior Line Officers at the dinner before their inspection if there was anybody, any of the males from the Lodge, that could help fill some of the stations in this Eastern Star Chapter. And he said maybe in a few years we'll be able to help you. And she said we won't be here in a few years. Now this is a story that we're hearing all the time, everywhere. In our blue Lodges also. But if you can, would you please, not taking anything away from your blue Lodge, please help these ladies, they do need your help. And they do support our Blue Lodges. I've talked to several other Lodges who have lost their Eastern Star Chapters, and they tell me how much they miss having that chapter supporting them. I guess, my brethren, I'll put it this way, remember that it wasn't raining when Noah started building the ark. Thank you all very much.

The Grand Lodge was called from Refreshment to Labor. Grand Lodge of Ohio 25 ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER This address was prepared by the Grand Master before his death, and was read, in part, by H. Ray Evans.

To The M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio, Distinguished Guests, and my Brethren: What an honor you bestowed upon me October 16,1999 when you elected me to serve as your Grand Master. When I began my Masonic career in Ivanhoe Chapter, Order of DeMolay, so many years ago, I never dreamed I would reach this pinnacle in my life. I wish to thank Most Worshipful Brother H. Ray Evans for appointing me to the Grand Lodge line and giving me the opportunity to have a small part in the great history of our fraternity. This has definitely been a year off mixed emotions. As most of you know, I lost my wife, Cheryl, two years ago. At times it has been difficult not having her by my side enjoying all the wonderful aspects of being Grand Master. I do know that she is watching from above and giving me her love, support, and blessing. It has been thoroughly enjoyable traveling throughout the state, meeting new friends and reacquainting myself with old friends. What a wonderful and warm group of people we have in our Masonic family! Everyone went out of their way to make the Grand Lodge Officers and their wives feel welcome. I personally thank you for this show of brotherhood. My theme, "Freemasonry —A Pathway To The New Millennium," exempli­ fies my belief that Masonry will endure the changes in our society and the world. Our Masonic values, thoughts and rituals will give us a good foundation as we usher in the new millennium and the unknown future. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having the faith and belief in me to represent you. To those brethren who kept me in their thoughts and prayers, I humbly thank you. You kept going with your encouraging words at very low points during these last few years. I could not have made it without you, my brethren. May God bless you.

GRAND LODGE OFFICERS The success of any leader of a group of people whether it is in business or a fraternal organization depends greatly on the individuals with whom that leader entrusts responsibilities and duties. I realize that my successful journey as Grand Master would not have been possible without relying on the Grand Lodge Officers for their wisdom and dedication to your Grand Lodge. To these devoted Masons, I am grateful for all you have done to assist in all the ceremonies and traveling many, many miles for the good of our wonderful fraternity. To the wives of these Grand Lodge Officers, thank you for traveling with your husbands and, in particular, attending the reconsecration ceremonies with us. Your attendance when we travel to 26 Proceedings of the lodge for various ceremonies and socializing with the ladies of the lodge members reaffirms your support to your husbands as they travel for the Grand Lodge of Ohio. John Teller (Grand Tyler) and Ed Howard (Grand Chaplain) have been by my side every minute of my journey this year. By traveling thousands of miles together I have gotten to know each of these fine Masons and their wives as personal friends. We have had fun traveling, we have shed tears on several occasions, we have got­ ten lost several times, and we have been a little late on several times. But through all these trials and tribulations, we had many great times and have many wonderful memories. There are not words to describe how grateful I am to you for accepting the appointment this year. When I stated my travels through the progressive Grand Lodge line, one responsibility that was forever with me was the person to chose to begin the same travels and one day, hopefully, reach the position of Grand Master. The selection of Michael A. Himes made my decision an easy one. Michael, I know you will be suc­ cessful as you continue your travels through Grand Lodge. I am proud of you and hope you and Brenda enjoy this journey as much as Cheryl and I did. I would be remiss of I did not say a few words about our Grand Secretary, Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser. Gentlemen, there is not a truer friend or brother than he has been to me, especially this past year. His knowledge, concern, and support have been tremendous. I tip my hat to you, sir! Thank you, 2000 Grand Lodge Officers, for being my brother and my friend!

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS I had the honor and privilege to appoint 61 District Deputy Grand Masters who would represent me across the state in our 25 districts. I appreciate the hard work and dedication that you each have shown through the year.

At this Conference of District Deputy Grand Masters held each year, the newly appointed and reappointed District Deputies are presented with the Grand Master's program and are instructed in their duties and responsibilities. Each of the Grand Lodge Officers are an integral part of this conference and interact with the District Deputies throughout the conference. I have received many compliments about our District Deputies from the membership and thank each of them for their dedication to our fraternity.

GRAND LODGE COMMITTEES In accordance with Section 2 of the By-Laws of this Grand Lodge, I appointed the necessary and special committees as required by the Grand Lodge Code. Reports of these committees will be given during the course of this Grand Lodge session. I would like to thank one who served on these committees and truly appreciate the time and effort they have given. In addition to the aforementioned committees, I appointed the following Brethren: James E. Olmstead, Fraternal Correspondent, Charles Eichensehr, Grand Historian and Ralph J. Marquis, Trial Commissioner-in-Chief. Each of these posi­ tions require great dedication and love to the fraternity and, on behalf of the mem­ bership of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, I thank them for all they do for Freemasonry. It was with great sadness to learn of Ralph J. Marquis' passing in May. Right Worshipful Brother Ralph did a superlative job as Trial Commissioner-in-Chief. He will be missed not only for the many responsibilities he handles in this position but also as a great Mason and a true friend. 30 Proceedings of the

I was pleased and honored that Right Worshipful Brother Morton S. Negin accepted the appointment as Trial Commissioner-in-Chief and know he will do a splendid job!

DEPOSITORY, SURETY BOND AUDIT Bonds of the Grand Secretary and the Grand Treasurer required by Sections 3.03 of the By-Laws have been issued and approved by this office. Pursuant to Section 2.05(A) of the By-Laws, the firm of Landaker, Kramer and Segona C.P.A.s was selected to audit the books of the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer. Their reports have been filed and will be submitted to this Grand Lodge during this Annual.

GRAND REPRESENTATIVES It was a privilege to appoint the following brethren as Grand Representatives to other Grand Jurisdictions:

John R. Teller, The Grand Lodge of Idaho Edward F. Howard, The Grand Lodge of Louisiana Michael A. Himes, The Grand Lodge of Nevada Robert W. Dumford, The Grand Lodge of Quebec Herbert A. Louis, The Grand Lodge of Columbia-Bogota Harvey C. Lowry, The United Grand Lodge of Germany William R. Powers, The Grand Orient of Italy

LEADERSHIP I am pleased that several leadership courses are continuing to grow and educate fellow Masons in the Grand Lodge. The TELL Program (The Exceptional Lodge Leader), the WILL Program (Wardens Introduction to Lodge Leadership) Programs, and the Series IV and Series V courses are unique to Ohio Freemasonry. Many other Grand Jurisdictions have asked for information on these programs and have com­ plimented us for these educational programs. These programs make us better lead­ ers, better Masons and better citizens. My hat is tipped to the many brethren who take charge of these programs and ensure that each program is presented with pro­ fessionalism, warmth and friendship.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS Initiated by Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser in 1989 and continued throughout 2000, a "Community Service Award" was presented at each of the 25 district receptions. These recipients have included many Masons, many non- Masons, men, and women. I am pleased to list each recipient: District 1 Kathleen Conway Hood 2 J. Knight Goodman 3 Hazel L. Blanchard 4 Fred Pond 5 Elmer E. Myers Grand Lodge of Ohio 31

6 Denver M. Ruggles 7 Richard L. Davis 8 Bob and Clara Dumm 9 Elvera Buckmaster 10 Ron Dysert 11 J. Russell Coffey 12 William A. Gaskin 13 William Garrett 14 Paul R. Greer 15 Shary Williamson 16 William E. TenEyck 17 Frank Edward Hare 18 Rama Steen 19 Richard G. Laughrey 20 William T. McKee 21 Larry L. Morgan 22 Mary Montgomery 23 Frank A. Fregiato 24 Pat Vivo 25 Charles D. Frantz

GRAND MASTER'S AWARD To qualify for this award, a Lodge had to meet many criteria and several of these included having three stated meetings on the ground floor to accommodate elderly and handicap members, different activities to involve the senior members, and to institute or reinstitute a youth organization. I am pleased to be able to present during this Communication 71 awards to individual lodges.

EIGHTY YEAR AWARDS What a joy to have two members reach the milestone as 80 year Masons. I was thrilled to be able to present an 80-year award to Ralph Forman White, who is a res­ ident of the Cottingham Retirement Home. This Brother is 101 years young and a member off Hyde Park Lodge. A member of Victory Lodge, Brother Donald E. Wilhelm, also reached this magnificent 80-year plateau. Most Worshipful Brother Tom Zahler and Tom Galyen, along with Right Worshipful Brother Steve Krekus, made this presentation on my behalf at Brother Wilhelm's residence at a nursing home in Canton, Ohio.

DISTRICT RECEPTIONS Every year the 25 Districts work hard to plan a reception to honor the Grand Master. This year was no exception. I had the distinct pleasure of attending 23 of these receptions. I, unfortunately, missed the receptions in the 20th and 22nd Districts due to a week-long hospital stay. One reception that will be remembered is the one that was held for us in the 1st District. To be honored by the brethren of my own district who know me best, was a heartwarming experience. 32 Proceedings of the

I am pleased that my daughter, Robin was able to accompany me to many of these receptions. My thanks to the members and their ladies across the state for the acceptance and hospitality to my daughter throughout the year. It also pleased me that in lieu of gifts, the various Districts were generous in their support of the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation.

DEDICATION, CORNERSTONES AND RECONSECRATIONS One of the most gratifying and humbling experiences of my year as Grand Master was to preside over the dedication, cornerstone and reconsecration cere­ monies of various lodges throughout the state. Following is a list of the ceremonies the 1999-2000 Grand Lodge Officers performed: Re-dedication Sidney Moore Temple 100 Years Cornerstone Laying Community Center at the Ohio Masonic Home Reconsecrations Superior Lodge No. 179 150 years Bainbridge Lodge No. 196 150 years Doric Lodge No. 172 150 years Heber Lodge No. 501 125 years Fielding Lodge No. 192 150 years Augusta Lodge No. 504 125 years Sulgrave Lodge No. 696 75 years TU-EN-DA-WIE Lodge No. 195 150 years Indian Lake No. 722 50 years Alpha Lodge No. 729 50 years George L.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND LODGES Robin and I had the pleasure of representing the Grand Lodge of Ohio at sev­ eral other Grand Jurisdictions. We visited Kentucky, Virginia, Washington, D.C, New Jersey, Maine, Indiana, and the Province of Ontario. I took my Grand Chaplain, Grand Tyler, and son-in-law to the Grand Lodge of Tennessee where we were treated to the music of the "Grand Ole Opry." Everywhere we went, we were received warmly and people went out of their way to make the various situations easier with my infirmities. I also had the pleasure of sending other Grand Lodge Officers to represent the State of Ohio at our sister Grand Jurisdictions. Grand Lodge of Ohio 33

OTHER OUT-OF-STATE VISITATIONS In January, Florida beckoned for the Sunbird visit. The warmth of the sun rivaled the warmth of the brethren and their ladies to those of us who visited the cities of Orlando and Sarasota. It was wonderful to greet old friends and make new friends. I had the pleasure of being accompanied by my son-in-law, Worshipful Brother Harry Klein, Most Worshipful Brother David Dresser and Pat, Right Worshipful Brother Jack Allen and Yvonne, Right Worshipful Brother Steve Krekus and Carol, and Worshipful Brother Tim Strawn from the Ohio Masonic Home. In February, the Grand Secretary, Deputy Grand Master, Senior Grand Warden, Junior Grand Warden and I represented Ohio at the Conference of Grand Masters of North America, in Savannah, Georgia. It was exciting to be in the presence of 63 other Grand Lodge Jurisdictions to share our thoughts and ideas. When we were addressed by the Imperial Potentate, Ralph Semb, you could feel the electricity in the air. Most Worshipful Brothers Galyen, Smalley and Watson also joined us in Savannah to serve on other committees. In July, Most Worshipful Brother David Dresser, Right Worshipful Brother Jack Allen, and I journeyed to Rutland, Vermont for the Northeast Conference of Grand Masters. Whereas the Grand Master's Conference is large and impressive, the Northeast Conference is more intimate and enlightening. The meetings give you the opportunity to share and build lasting friendships.

IN-STATE VISITS In June, I had the privilege of addressing the brethren at the Ohio Council of Deliberation in Columbus. In addition, in June, I was thrilled to be part of the parade of Masons at the Ohio Special Olympics where I was able to present a check for $60,700 at the opening ceremony.

YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS Robin and I, along with my Grand Chaplain, Edward Howard and his wife, Dona, and my Grand Tyler, John Teller and his wife, Cathie, had the opportunity to attend all three youth organization's opening sessions. The first was the Grand Guardian Council, Order of Job's Daughters, which was held at Kent State University. This session was especially important to me since my granddaughter became a "JD To Be" this past February. In July, we attended the annual Ohio Grand Assembly, International Order of Rainbow for Girls at Ohio Wesleyan University. What a beautiful opening ceremony they conducted! We also attended the Annual Conclave of Ohio DeMolay, again held at Kent State University. Since I started my Masonic career in Ivanhoe Chapter, Order of DeMolay, the youth organizations hold a special place in my heart. The future of our country is in good hands with the youth that I had the plea­ sure of meeting at these sessions.

OHIO MASONIC HOME Thanksgiving Day was my first official visit to our "Home On the Hill" as Grand Master. My family and I were joined by the Deputy Grand Master and his 34 Proceedings of the family, the Grand Chaplain and his wife, and the Junior Grand Deacon and his wife. We all enjoyed sharing this special meal with the residents. In December, the Grand Lodge Officers joined the residents for their annual Christmas Party. February brought us back for the Open House of the Pathway Center. What a beautiful new addition to further help our members in need. The Ladies Dinner held in April honored the widows at our Home. On June 4, we were treated to glorious weather for our "All Masons Day." I appreciated the attendance of so many brethren in support of this worthy philan­ thropy of our Grand Lodge. The colorful parade by the Units of Antioch Temple highlighted the afternoon. My daughter and I always look forward to the strawberry shortcake and have learned the hard way to enjoy our dessert before lunch! The day was completed by the opportunity to lay the cornerstone of the new Community Center. This new building will enable the Home to serve the residents and commu­ nity more effectively. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Many, many evenings were spent with various groups and organizations pro­ moting Freemasonry. I had the privilege to charter a new lodge, Millennium Lodge No. 779. Two classes were held in my honor, the York Rite Festival and the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Cincinnati, Spring Class. At the Scottish Rite Spring Class, I was further honored by the Lodge Gleniffer No. 1219 and the Lodge MacDuff No. 940, on their official visit from Scotland. Montgomery Lodge No. 94, my home lodge, honored me with a beautiful portrait to commemorate my year as Grand Master to hang in the lodge room. One lodge visit that will stand out in my mind is the installation of Fairborn Lodge No. 764. Jimmy Vinson, the new Worshipful Master, and I were childhood friends. What a thrill to share the evening with him! There are so many important and meaningful evenings that were shared with the brethren across the state. GRAND LODGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION When Most Worshipful Brother Douglas Brenneman set the goal to raise $1,000,000 for the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation, I assured him that I would continue this program during my tenure. I am pleased to say that we were able to add more than $20,000 to this worthwhile fund. I believe this foundation will enable us to expand our support of charitable activities, worthwhile organizations, and con­ tinue to assist those in need.

THANK YOU There is no way to properly express my gratitude to the First Masonic District Officers Association, Montgomery Lodge No. 94, the many committee chairman and all the brethren who have helped make this year a success. I would never have made it without your support, prayers, and encouraging words. I tip my hat to you. To my family, what can I say? I thank my son-in-law, Harry Klein, for sharing his wife and allowing her to accompany me to so many functions. To my grand­ daughter, Leslie, you will soon have your mother back full time. Thank you for let­ ting me have the special times with her. To my daughter, Robin, there is no way I could have ever made it these last two years without you. You kept me going when I didn't think that I could go another step. Your mother would be proud of the way you have carried on in her place. Finally, to my wife, Cheryl, who I know is watch­ ing from above, thank you for allowing me to live out this dream.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY GRAND MASTER

On Saturday, October 16, 1999, it was my pleasure to be installed as Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ohio by MWB Thomas D. Zahler, PGM, and to be seated to the left of MWB Ronald R. Rogers, our new Grand Master. Two days later Yvonne and I were dispatched to Macon, Ga., to attend the Grand Lodge of Georgia on behalf of our Grand Master and the year was off to a rolling start. During the course of the year we traveled more than 18,000 miles while attending over 200 ceremonies and events. Then, on September 8, 2000, the mantel of authority and responsibility passed to your Deputy Grand Master upon the untimely death of MWB Rogers. (My per­ sonal tribute to MWB Rogers follows this report.) A diary of six pages of activities is briefly summarized below:

A Tribute to Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers October 6,1934 - September 8, 2000

Most Worshipful Brother Ronald Roy Rogers departed this life September 8, 2000, after a long, brave struggle with diabetes. During his tour through the Grand Lodge line he was frequently unable to travel as he dealt with his own health prob­ lems, and then, on the eve of his assuming the office of Grand Master, the unex­ pected death of his beloved wife, Cheryl. He drew upon an inner strength that sustained his faith and his poise even as he resigned himself to a wheelchair. He mustered the determination and courage to travel widely as Grand Master, assisted by his devoted daughter, Mrs. Robin Klein. Most Worshipful Brother C. Michael Watson was the first to honor Ron's courage and devotion to Masonry when MWB Watson presented Ron with the first ever P. Dean Gerber Award for Ron's "extraordinary service of distinction and much, much courage." My fondest memory of Ron was the day we traveled together from one cere­ mony to the next and he told me it was time to grab the reins of the office of Grand Marshal and assume his position in the ritual. I did as I was told and generally fol­ lowed the ritual with some innovations of my own. En route to the next ceremony he "coached" me on my mistakes and told me to do it again. I did, and promptly made all new mistakes. He laughed heartily. Ron's Masonic record is quite lengthy, but I suspect the role he was most proud of was that of Past Master Councilor of Ivanhoe Chapter, Order of DeMolay. In moments such as these, I often recall these words:

Birth is a beginning And death is a destination And life is a journey A sacred pilgrimage To life everlasting

Farewell my friend.

REPORT OF THE NECROLOGY COMMITTEE Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Members of the Grand Lodge and Honored Guests: We pause now in our deliberations to consider the awesome power of death: the total and final cessation of all vital functions and physical activities. One day we are strong in our living, the next, we fall in death. One day we may move among our brethren, caring, sharing and spreading the joys of our associations; the next, our lifeless hands have dropped the tools of our labors and we no longer can respond with a smile at the friendly greetings of our loved ones. We must reflect that as sons of Man, we too must one day shed this mortal shell of clay and it must return to the dust from whence it came. But, as sons of God, we have an immortal soul which, having been released from its prison of flesh and bone, may rise upward and inward through the pearly gates, where in awe it may approach the Great White Throne of its Creator and thus be received back into that precious bosom from whence it came. No, we are not immune to suffering and to death. But as children of the liv­ ing God we are taught not to fear death but to recognize it as that Ark which carries us from this earthly life to that spiritual life eternal in the heavens. Though our bod­ ies may fall like a leaf blown from the tree by the winds of misfortune, we do not die! We have during this past year lost 4,603 of our brethren who have completed their earthly journey and have passed on to their eternal reward. We shall continue to miss them, to mourn our losses by their passing and to remember them in our hearts. The names of all of them cannot be read at this time, but as I read the names of several of them, may you reflect upon those, both named and unnamed, who have walked close to you and have shared with you their warm friendship, their counsel and their leadership.

May our hearts be softened by their remembrance and may our hands and feet be quick to aid and support their widows and orphans. Grant, O Lord our God, that each of us may be inspired to live such a life as would be a fitting, living memorial to those who have gone before us. May we continue to serve Thee in our efforts and activities of Freemasonry, that the great principles and precepts of this institution may ever flourish and benefit all mankind. So Mote It Be. Amen. 44 Proceedings of the REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY For the ninth, and last time, I am pleased to submit the report of the Grand Secretary to The Grand Lodge of F&AM of Ohio. During the year, just completed, the Grand Master has approved the consolida­ tion of eleven (11) Lodges into eight surviving Lodges. An accounting of these con­ solidations can be found in the report of the Committee on Charters and Dispensations. These consolidations bring the number of Lodges currently in exis­ tence, in Ohio, to 582. We experienced history in the making when four Lodges, from Dayton, surrendered their Charters and formed a new Lodge, named Millennium Lodge No. 779. As Grand Secretary, I conducted seven regional Secretaries Workshops with very good attendance. It is unfortunate that many secretaries who could benefit from attending these meetings just do not seem interested. I do, however, recommend that my successor continue the practice of conducting Regional Workshops. The new Lodge Computer Program has finally been distributed to those Lodges which ordered it. With only a very few complaints, the program has been received quite favorably. This program is not meant to take the place of word processing and accounting, it is intended to be a data base for the management of Membership information and activity, in that context, it is quite good. We are truly indebted to Worshipful Brother Roger Gotthard, Secretary of West Milton Lodge No. 577 for his expertise in helping to perfect the new program. The State Secretaries Association has been a real source of pleasure and assis­ tance to this Grand Secretary. This association is an extremely valuable asset to our Grand Lodge and should be supported by all Lodges and their Secretaries. I strongly urge all Lodges to support their Secretaries, financially, so that they may attend the Annual Meeting of the Association in March. The rewards will be returned five fold. We commend our late Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers, for his dedication and commitment to this Grand Lodge. He was a tower of strength, even in the darkest hours, as he led us through yet another great Grand Lodge Year. In contemplating the memory of our departed Grand Master, I am reminded of the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson when he wrote, "To Ride Abroad, Redressing Human Wrong, to Speak no Slander, no, nor listen to it, but teach High Thoughts and Amiable Words, and Courtliness and the Desire of Fame, and Love, and Truth, and all that makes a man". And this was Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers, a fine Grand Master, Mason, Gentleman and Friend. The Grand Secretary's Staff is to be commended for their continued outstand­ ing dedication to duty. These fine ladies have continued to perform at sometimes unbelievable levels, with very few interruptions. Although it was necessary to realign some of the duties, mid year, the smooth flow of operations was never inter­ rupted. I am proud to have been associated with them. Finally, I thank you, my beloved Brethren of this Grand Lodge, for your love, support, assistance and cooperation. We may not be together physically in the future, as often as before, but believe me, you will always be in my heart. We leave with a great sense of satisfaction that we have done our very best, I only hope that it was good enough.

Respectfully submitted, David L. Dresser, PGM Grand Secretary Grand Lodge of Ohio 45

GRAND TREASURERS REPORT

To the M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio:

As I begin my third message as your Grand Treasurer, many happy memories are surfacing. Also mixed into these memories are lots of sad feelings about two very dedicated and fine Masons. Since 1993,1 have traveled many miles with and spent hundreds of hours in the company of our Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers. MWB Rogers had an incredible gift of telling jokes, and making everyone laugh, while at the same time we all knew that from his first days in DeMolay that he lived Masonry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. His untimely death leaves me very sad but yet honored and pleased that I knew him so well and was able to serve as one of his Grand Lodge Officers. Ron, say hello to all our deceased brethren while you are attending the most honorable Grand Lodge in the Universe. We miss you! Another loss I am feeling is the retirement of our Grand Secretary, Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser. MWB Dresser has been a mentor to me dur­ ing my travels through the progressive Grand Lodge Line and, we have grown even closer in my past three years as Grand Treasurer. It is imperative that for the future and growth of any Grand Lodge that the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer work closely to ensure smooth, efficient, and financially sound operations of the treasury and office personnel. David, thanks for all you have done to assist me and all that you have done to promote the Grand Lodge of Ohio throughout your life and your travels. You are a true friend and brother! The 1999-2000 Grand Lodge Year has been one of financial growth. The Grand Lodge Investment Committee continues to work closely with Scudder, Stevens and Clark (our investment firm) to ensure that our investment portfolio is working to give us maximum benefits at the least investment risk. I continue to be in awe when dispensing funds to those in need through the Charitable Foundation. This Masonic giving to those in need is true brotherhood. The Charitable Foundation is a wonderful way to say to our members and commu­ nities that Freemasonry is alive and that we care about our brothers and our neigh­ bors! I am privileged to be able to assist in dispensing these funds that our Masonic brethren give so generously. Again, my brethren, thank you for entrusting the position of Grand Treasurer to me. As I continue to say as I meet with you throughout the State of Ohio, "WOW - I am Proud to be a Mason and Proud to be your Grand Treasurer."

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas H. Galyen, Grand Treasurer Grand Lodge of Ohio 49

The Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, F. & A. M. Worthington, Ohio Gentlemen: We have audited the statement of assets, liabilities and net assets-modified cash balance of The Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, F. & A. M. as of August 31, 2000 and the related statements of cash receipts and disbursements, and changes in net assets- modified cash basis for the eleven months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's Trustees. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, the Foundation's policy is to prepare its financial statements on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities and net assets of The Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, F. & A. M. as of August 31, 2000 and the receipts and disbursements and changes in net assets for the eleven months then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION OF THE GRAND LODGE OF OHIO, F. & A. M. Worthington, Ohio NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS August 31, 2000

NOTE 1 - The Charitable Foundation records are kept on a modified cash basis of accounting, whereby income is recognized when received rather than when earned and expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred. Also, the investments are recorded at cost, net of any amortization of any premium paid or discount received when the investment was purchased. NOTE 2 - The Charitable Foundation was organized by the Grand Lodge as an Ohio Corporation, not for profit, under the name, "The Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, F. S_ A. M." Its purpose is to invite, solicit, acquire, receive and accept gifts, bequests, devises and contributions and contract with donors for gift annuities for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. This Corporation is operated separate and apart from the general activities of the Grand Lodge. NOTE 3 - The Charitable Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE 4 - The Charitable Foundation adheres to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, "Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations." Under SFAS No. 117, the organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. These restrictions are determined by the donors, not by any action of the organization. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the organization. NOTE 5 - The Charitable Foundation maintains all of its cash accounts at one local bank. Therefore, the organization has a possible credit risk for the excess of its cash balances over the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). NOTE 6 - The advisory committee of the Grand Lodge changed the fiscal year-end of the Grand Lodge and its related organizations to August 31. Therefore, the accompanying statements of cash receipts and disbursements and of the changes in net assets are for the eleven months ended August 31, 2000. The change in the year end was done in order to allow for more time between the end of the fiscal year and of the annual Grand Lodge meeting, which is held the latter part of October.

NOTE 5 - The Scholarship Foundation maintains all of its cash accounts at one local bank. Therefore, the organization has a possible credit risk for the excess of its cash balances over the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

The change in the year end was done in order to allow for more time between the end of the fiscal year and of the annual Grand Lodge meeting, which is held the latter part of October.

PRESENTATION TO THE GRAND SECRETARY

Most Worshipful Brother Douglas O. Brenneman: Right Worshipful Brother Williamson would you please escort Most Worshipful Brother Dresser to the podium. George Braatz, Worshipful Brothers Robert Coster and Clayton Werden and I have conspired against our Grand Secretary Most Worshipful Brother Dresser. When I was called upon to do this duty, I knew what David's feelings are, and I knew how David felt about receiving any recognition over and above his normal introduction. I have grown to love and respect this man and this brother very much. He was definitely a great inspiration to me during my steps through the Grand Lodge line, and was definitely a great help to me last year. Most Worshipful Brother Dresser, I know that you do not like recognition, but we have conspired to take things into our own hands. Bob, at this time I would like to turn this over to you for your comments and your presentation.

Worshipful Brother Robert Coster, President of the State Secretaries Association: Thank you. I have a little bit of statistics that I thought I should share with you. Some of you are a little gray-haired like myself, and remember some of these facts, but Dave Dresser was born October 5,1935 so that means he's turned 65, and maybe that's why he's talking about retirement. He graduated from Solom High School in 1953, he married Patricia Jay Lowe on April 7 of 1956, if my math is cor­ rect, that means you were just 21 years old at the time. He worked as an auto mechanic and a salesman. In 1971, he affiliated with an independent tire dealer and then acquired a tire service company in 1986. I believe, I looked up the records and it says that you are a Grand Master that was never a District Deputy. I don't know how you get to do that, but I think one way is that you're really good. Over the past nine years, Dave has used his experience in running a business, and shaped the Grand Secretary's office into an efficient and harmonious operation. There are nearly 600 Lodges in this state. You have made your office and your personal involvement with those secretaries of these Lodges a homogenous network. You have never refused to take time to help each one of us when we thought we had a problem. You have brought training, service, and help to the various parts of this state, rather than always having us come to Worthington to see you. You have been an avid supporter of the State Secretaries Association. With your help, I believe I have become a better secretary. I would like to have all the secretaries here assem­ bled please stand. Through the efforts of the State Secretaries Association, on behalf of all of us, and those not present, Dave we salute you as a great Grand Secretary for the State of Ohio and our friend. May you enjoy a long life and a great retirement. Now, you know about Worshipful Brother Clayton Werden, and the fact that he has a tradition for doing things conservatively. So Clayton, you have a check. Dave, our tradition is to save money. We cut everything in half. Your expe­ rience has served us. You expressed to several of us that you had a house in Florida, and that you had all that you needed for retirement except a golf cart, and maybe a new set of golf clubs. But then you said, I really like the old clubs because they fit my hands and they know where the ball's supposed to go. Well we had an idea what we'd like to do for you, and then you went out and bought a golf cart. But we, the Grand Lodge of Ohio 75

Secretaries, and the Secretaries Association wish to give you this, our gift, to help you pay for that cart, that you enjoy a long, wonderful life and a great retirement. Of course you realize that in less than 24 hours the fat lady's going to sing and it's all over.

Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser: 24 hours and ten minutes. Some of you who were at the State Secretary's meeting in 1989 may recall that this wonderful friend of mine Clayton Werden Jr., and I had a rather interesting beginning to our relationship. I'm happy to report that in the past nine years it has reversed itself, and we're doing very well and I think we love each other as much as any two brothers can. You buy that? I might tell you that half a check is typical of Clayton, but I'm surprised I got the large half. I haven't looked at this yet because I know what's going to happen. There are no greater Masons in Ohio than the secretaries of the Lodges. And just knowing them is enough. The association is a marvelous structure that helps the Lodges and helps the Grand Lodge and I have certainly grown because of my association with them. Now, holy macaral! Is the dot in the wrong place?

Worshipful Brother Coster: Dave, the dot is in the correct place and we're working for more, because many of your secretaries and friends have not been able to respond yet.

Brother James Dresser: Sir, if I may have a few moments. As Dave's son, for once I'm going to shut him up and move him to the back. Does he have an opinion of everything? If I'm able to get through this, it will be amazing. He has an opinion on everything Brothers. And over the years, I have never ever had to go to anyone else to get advice. Nor was I allowed to. You talk about Masonry in Ohio, let me tell you a little story. On the way down here, I thought about this the whole drive down here from Columbus on Route 71. If any of you have done that you know you can think a lot on that road. The day I was born, November 18,1964, my father was installing seats in Vandalia Lodge. And ever since, I can't remember a day when we didn't talk about it. We've been through a lot together. In 1989, when my father was up here, I was in the military and unable to get back. For that I'm truly sorry. But I'm here today to say, on behalf of my two sisters and my mother, enjoy your retirement. God bless.

Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser: Before you do any more to me, just let me say this check is for $4,200.01.

Most Worshipful Brother Brenneman: On behalf of the Grand Lodge Officers, your Grand Lodge family, including Most Worshipful Brother Rogers, I would like to also present you a check, and it's from the Past Grand Masters of Ohio. 76 Proceedings of the

Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser: Well, here we go again. I want you to know I really, really don't expect these kind of things and I'm very uncomfortable with them. But I love them all for it. Well, again it's amazing and totally surprising, but this check is for $900.00 from these great people, and I thank them all for it. When you get to Florida come and visit us, we'll have a hell of a golf cart. We're running a little bit behind, I know that the Deputy Grand Master has an awful lot of business to be done, so I don't want to belabor this thing, I just want to say God Bless all of you. Thank you so much. This has been a wonderful journey, and I'll think of you often.

Most Worshipful Brother Ray Belini, Grand Secretary of New Jersey: Thank you, Past Grand Master Doug, Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers, Past Grand Masters and Brethren of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, I am honored to be able to address you this morning and to share just a brief remarks with you about my relationship with David L. Dresser, your Grand Secretary. David and I first met about 15 years ago when I was coming through the line in the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, and David was active in the Grand Lodge of Ohio. And so Dave, I'm going to ask the visiting Grand Secretaries present if they would rise and please present themselves here. We just want to say to all of you, how much we have appreciated working with David Dresser, your Grand Secretary. Any time our jurisdictions had a problem, if there was a request for information a little bit slow in coming, all we had to do was get on the phone and call David and within a matter of hours or days, the answer was returned to us. So Dave, from the song, "When you come to the end of a perfect day" by Carrie Jacobs Bond, let me share the two closing lines with you and with the brethren of your Grand Lodge. "For memory has painted the perfect day with colors that never fade, and we find at the end of a perfect day, the soul of a friend we've made." We, the Grand Secretaries of the United States of America and Canada, truly have a good friend in David L. Dresser. So David, we congratulate you on your retirement. We with for you and Pat, good health, long life, much happiness, but above all, much love. Thank you.

MOTION

Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser: I move that all of the proposed legislation, both in the category of those arti­ cles that have laid over for the prescribed period, and those that may have a request for immediate consideration have been reviewed by the advisory committee, ways means and accounts committee, and jurisprudence and will be presented this after­ noon as requested. I move the adoption of that report. Adopted. Grand Lodge of Ohio 77

THE HISTORY COMMITTEE

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F.&A. M. of Ohio:

This has been an eventful year. The better part of it was spent on the Grand Lodge project. Due to the weather damage the Grand Lodge museum suffered last year, it was necessary to work on all framed prints, charters, and artifacts which were hanging on the walls. With the help of Worshipful Brother Kenneth L. Sparks, W.M., P.M., Richard L. Helpman, Secretary., P.M. both of New England Lodge No. 4, and Brother Michael Harsh of Mt. Zion Lodge No. 9, (collections, Ohio Historical Society), who served as our adviser, we were able to accomplish the re- matting and framing that was necessary to protect the documents from further dam­ age. As with any curatorial project of this type, there is always more to do. For the past few months I have been working on preserving the old charters which have been returned to the Grand Lodge. After seeing the condition of some of these charters, I feel it is important for active lodges to consider the condition of their charters and the manner in which they are being stored. I believe most lodges are already storing their charters in a safe, safety box, etc. where the environment is not so much a factor. In the last twenty-five years, great strides have been made by museums and preservationists in the area of curatorial care of works on paper. If you already haven't, any lodge whose charter is in its original frame or rolled up in storage should consider taking steps to prevent any further deterioration. Research shows that most paper made from 1860 to the present contains acidic properties which cause loss of strength in the paper. It becomes so general that the once flexible, strong paper gets weak and brittle, allowing it to be torn even by the gentlest han­ dling. This acidic reaction needs to be neutralized or slowed. The recommendations offered by Cliff Eckle, Assistant Curator of collections at the Ohio Historical Society are as follows: "Rubber bands, saran wrap, and other plastic materials can be very destructive to objects if used for long term storage. These materials are unstable. They off-gas damaging material like sulfur, which is very acidic. Polyester and polypropylene are stable forms of plastic. These materials can be ordered through archival supply houses such as Gaylord or University Products. If you use a professional framer, be sure to specify 'Lignum free' or 'unbuffered' materials as well" If your Charter has not been re-matted or treated recently, it is important to understand that methods of framing prior to thirty years ago did not always consider the acid reaction between the wooden backing and other acidic materials being used. Charters should not be bound with rubber bands, stored in cardboard tubing not designed for document use, or left in frames with unprotected backings. There is much information available regarding the proper care and storage of these valuable documents. If you have any questions or if you need information on archival sup­ plies, please feel free to call me at the Ohio Historical Society, (614) 297-2687. Worshipful Brother Barry Cunningham is a paper conservator who specializes in the care and preservation of this type of document. I would like to take this oppor­ tunity to thank Worshipful Brother Cunningham and his wife, Vickie, who have 78 Proceedings of the offered their professional advice since the beginning of the Grand Lodge Museum project. They were instrumental in ascertaining values necessary for the insurance company and suggestions on the care and treatment of the documents. You can con­ tact Brother Cunningham (The Book Doctor) at (614) 877-3694 for help with your Charter. Vickie has asked me to mention that restoration is a slow, meticulous process, so don't expect your Charter returned quickly. Ohio Village Lodge No. 10 has enjoyed another year of sharing Freemasonry with the public. Visitation remains high and the Ohio Village is beginning yet another busy season. The Ohio Village hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday with the exception of special holiday hours which begin right after Thanksgiving. The hours change to 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Please plan a special visit with your family to the Ohio Village and Ohio Village Lodge No. 10.

REPORT OF M.S.A. HOSPITAL VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge F. & A.M. of Ohio

It is my distinct honor to present the annual report of the Hospital Volunteer Committee of the Grand Lodge of Ohio and the Masonic Service Association of North America. This is the 33rd year for this important committee to serve the patients in our Veterans Hospitals in Ohio. Attendance at the meeting was slightly down, due to some illness and other necessary obligations.

Reports were given by four of the Hospital Representatives, all indicating a continuing high level of motivation by all of our volunteers. They traveled over 22,000 miles and contributed over 28,000 hours to the Veterans of Ohio. There were visits to a considerable number of Masonic Brethren, and to an enormous number of nonMasons. All were pleased and comforted by the spirit of Brotherly love and charity they received. This program presents the opportunity for one on one visita­ tion which is most effective, and is favorably noted by the general public. This may well be our most important Masonic Charity.

We were saddened by the loss of our Assistant Coordinator, R. W. Bro. E. Paul Howard, who has retired and moved to Florida. We all wish him well. We will need to replace this important position. We also continue to be without a Public Relations member. Anyone who is interested or is aware of any person who may be interested in either of these two positions, should contact the Committee Chairman.

The annual meeting was a rousing success, and the committee voted to hold our next meeting during Grand Lodge in October 2001 in Columbus. This will be a departure from our normal June meeting. On behalf of all of the Masonic Hospital Volunteers in Ohio we are grateful for the support of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, as we continue to provide very personal assistance to those who cannot help them­ selves. We invite all Masons in Ohio to join us in this most important work!

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS COMMITTEE

The opening of the Ohio Special Olympics State Summer games was held on Friday, June 23, 2000, at St. John Arena in Columbus. Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers was a very proud Grand Master, as he led a contingent of 165 Masons in the arena for the opening ceremonies. A crowd of 2,700 Special Olympics athletes and 1,200 coaches, plus hundreds more family and friends rose to their feet with a standing ovation to show their appreciation for the continued support from the Masons of Ohio. Your Grand Lodge committee last spring asked for your support of this worth­ while cause, and you answered with donations totaling $60,700, coming from 289 Lodges. The committee, on behalf of our Grand Master, thanks you for your con­ tinued support of Ohio's Special Olympics. The volunteers who make the activities at the State Summer Games a success are too numerous to mention, but we would like to recognize those who are respon­ sible for organizing the activities after the opening ceremonies, and who work in the tent for the entire weekend of the State Games. Right Worshipful Brother Phil Clouse chaired this sub-committee of the Grand Lodge Committee; other members of his committee are listed below. Other sponsors, which we would like to recog­ nize are Kroger's, for refreshments; Ben Potts'Catering, for food after the cere­ monies; and also Thrall Lodge, No. 170, for its donation of more than 1,200 cook­ ies for the hungry athletes, and their families. The best way to explain how our support is appreciated is to take a quote from one of the dozens of letters and cards, which we receive from coaches and athletes. The following is an excerpt from a letter sent to us by Sherrie Andrus, who is Special Olympics coordinator for the Columbus Public Schools: "Each year our organization tries to think of something unique to let you know how much we appreciate what you do for our athletes at Summer Games. One year at an event we host, which is a qualifier for the Summer Games, we had a banner that the athletes could sign. When you marched around the stadium, we all stood up and cheered and applauded holding the banner high. We even gave it to you after the Opening Ceremonies. This past year in St. John Arena, there was still a banner, and as you came down the tunnel, it was held so you could once again see it. We hope in some way this expresses to you how much you mean to us. " Thank you again, Brethren, for your support, and we are looking forward to another year, with new goals and your continued support of Ohio's Special People.

Adjacent to the Headquarters Building stands the oldest Lodge Hall west of the Allegheny. The Old New England Lodge No. 4 build­ ing was constructed in 1803 and was used continuously until 1956 as a Lodge Hall. In 1956 it became The Grand Lodge of Ohio's Masonic Museum. As reported last year, on January 13, 1999 it was discovered that several water lines had frozen and eventually burst in the Museum. There was extensive damage to the floors, walls and contents of the museum. At this point, a decision was made to replace the old Boiler/Hot Water System with a gas fired, forced air system, including air conditioning. It was further decided that while we were in the repair stage, that we would undertake a remodeling project. The Museum has now been complete remodeled and repainted. New Drapes have been hung and all displays have been refurbished, cleaned and rearranged. The old Lodge room has taken on a purely colonial appearance, with many of the origi­ nal pieces of furniture and fixtures being repositioned in their places. All of this would not have been possible without the dedication and long hours which were spent by Worshipful Brothers Richard Helpman, (Secretary, New England #4) Kenneth Scott, (Worshipful Master, New England #4), Brother Tom Williams (S.W., Blendon #339) and Worshipful Brother Charles Eichensehr (Grand Historian). We are indebted to these Brethren. Without their efforts, the project could not have been completed as timely and efficiently as it was. On June 9 and 10, 2000 a "first ever" Open House was held at your Headquarters Building. The doors were opened and the community was welcomed. Members of New England Lodge No. 4 served as Hosts and Tour Guides. On Friday, June 9, Community and Business Leaders were invited to join us for a Buffet Luncheon in connection with the Open House. Saturday, we welcomed Members of the Community as well as many Local Masons. This event proved to be a big suc­ cess. The Grand Secretary's Office and the Lodge Room have not required any major maintenance this year. Finally, we encourage all masons, their families and friends to visit our Headquarters building, especially the newly remodeled Museum and Old Lodge Room. When you are in the area, drop by and see us. Respectfully submitted

PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge F. &A.M. of Ohio The Grand Lodge continues to encourage local Symbolic Lodges to make full use of public relations and news media opportunities that are available to them. When the Lodge does something newsworthy, alert the local newspaper and seek coverage. Our experience over the years has shown that the greater potential for coverage of Masonic news is by the small town daily and weekly newspapers. As a way of monitoring the news coverage across the state, the Grand Lodge began using a clipping service in 2000, and, in general, has been very pleased with the amount of publicity many local Lodges across Ohio have been achieving. Keep up the good work, and we hope that more Lodges will follow this example. From a statewide perspective, the Grand Lodge has distributed news releases on a number of subjects. The most frequent topic has been the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program, which has been covered in many news articles. Releases about the Ohio Special Olympics and a variety of local scholarships, as well as the Grand Lodge Scholarship Program, have led to newspaper coverage too. We continue to take part in a national forum that helps review and lead public­ ity efforts. MWB George O. Braatz has been Ohio's representative on the Steering Committee of the Masonic Information Center, part of the Masonic Service Association.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge F. &A. M. of Ohio

The Director of Program Development position was created at Grand Lodge one year ago to provide a full-time coordinator for Grand Lodge programs and ini­ tiatives that can advance Freemasonry in Ohio. The position is intended to provide the continuity and consistent attention necessary to maintain and enhance the qual­ ity of Grand Lodge programs. I began in the position just after the first of the year, with an office in the Grand Lodge headquarters in Worthington, becoming the first full-time employee of the Grand Lodge - other than the Grand Secretary and his staff. Specific responsibilities assigned to the Director of Program Development include the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program, the Charitable Foundation and Grand Lodge charitable efforts, education, information, and leadership pro­ grams, public relations, appendant body relationships, membership development, and other assignments that may come from the Grand Master or Advisory Committee. 86 Proceedings of the

With many of these programs, the Director is to serve as the '"staff liaison," working with various Grand Lodge committees and their chairmen. In other areas, he is to develop and lead the efforts himself. During the first nine months since the position was created, the greatest single amount of time has been devoted to the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program This has involved promoting, corresponding, and discussing the program with school officials across Ohio; developing relationships and programs with the Ohio Department of Education; serving as host for the participants in the workshops themselves, and communicating with Masons through correspondence, newsletters and speeches about the program. In 2000, the program received a $40,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and has been promised another $50,000 grant during the current fiscal year. The grants have permitted the Grand Lodge to double, from three to six, the number of workshops administered annually. Perhaps more importantly, ODE is so convinced of the merits of our program that it has established "incentive grants," given to schools that attend our program. Schools may use this funding to pay sub­ stitute, while teachers are at the workshops, and to finance other related expenses. As you might expect, these grants have created an increased demand for attendance at our workshops. Our November, 2000, and January and February, 2001, training sessions have been filled to capacity months in advance. (See separate report on Masonic Model for more information.) A significant effort also has been expended in working with the Grand Lodge Education Committee on its programs, communications with the District Education Officers, as well as meeting and workshop planning. Assistance also was provided for the Grand Lodge Special Olympics effort this past year and plans for next year's program. For the first time this year, the Grand Lodge collaborated with the Ohio Masonic Home in the publication of the Beacon magazine, and the role of writer and editor for the Grand Lodge portion of that publication was assumed by the Director of Program Development. Improving the Grand Lodge Internet site also is a responsibility of the position, and additional results from that effort will be seen in the coming year. One Web Page communication capability has demonstrated additional benefits: responding to messages left on the Grand Lodge Internet site. More than 300 such messages have been handled since January. Of those, some 125 were from nonMasons specifically indicating an interest in joining the Fraternity. Each of these was forwarded to a local Lodge contact for follow-up and we now have more than 20 new Masons in Ohio, who made their initial contact via our Web page. In this new position, I helped form an ad hoc leadership committee that has met numerous times during the year, to study possible Lodge leadership training tech­ niques. One result of the effort was the planning of two workshops that will be held during this Grand Lodge session. If successful, the effort may be expanded in future years. Public relations activities have also been a part of the responsibilities. Numerous news releases related to the Masonic Model have been distributed. The Grand Lodge has begun using a clipping service to monitor Masonic news around Grand Lodge of Ohio 87 the state. It gives us a clear indication of the success of our own efforts, but also pro­ vides a review of what individuals Lodges are doing in their respective communi­ ties. (See the Public Relations Committee Report for other details.) For me, the first ten months in this newly created position has been very rewarding, and I am very thankful I was chosen for this role. A sense of accom­ plishment is strong, even though I know such progress is natural when entering a variety of "unplowed fields." On the other hand, the future reveals unlimited oppor­ tunities for more programs and efforts to improve Freemasonry in Ohio.

George O. Braatz, P.G.M. Director of Program Development

MASONIC MODEL STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Masonic Model Student Assistance Program has made some remarkable advances this year in Ohio. The Masonic Model is a nationally acclaimed training program for teachers and school personnel to help identify students that may be "'at risk" in the school sys­ tem. The program seeks to enhance the skills of the participants and promotes a bond between the school and community resources. It works for the early and effec­ tive intervention with students who are demonstrating patterns of behavior that could threaten their success at school. In short, our Grand Lodge sponsors this program by providing - at no cost to schools in Ohio - a three-day workshop, including free instructional materials, overnight accommodations and meals. The instructors are provided by the National Masonic Foundation for Children, which was established in 1986. Since then, a total of 26 Grand Lodges in the United States are using the program. In Ohio, our program has been especially advanced during the year 2000 because of the addition of the full-time Director of Program Development in the Grand Lodge headquarters. It would have been impossible for a part time commit­ tee chairman to have managed the program without adversely affecting a number of the initiatives. Following is a summary of the Masonic Model activities in Ohio during the past Masonic year:

• Organized and hosted: 1. 3-day MMSAP Workshop at Ohio Masonic Home, Nov. 16-18, 1999 2. 3-day MMSAP Workshop at Ohio Masonic Home, Jan. 25-27, 2000 3. 3-day MMSAP Workshop at Holiday Inn near Youngstown on May 1-3, 4. 3-day MMSAP Workshop at Ohio Masonic Home, May 9-11 5. 1-day MMSAP "booster" session at Ohio Masonic Home on May 12 6. 3-day MMSAP Workshop at Tadmor Shrine in Akron, Aug. 15-17, 2000 88 Proceedings of the

• Received check for $40,000 from the Ohio Department of Education to help fund program; prepared and submitted the grant application for an additional $50,000 in FY 2001. ODE has committed to giving this amount to the Grand Lodge. • Worked with ODE to establish an "incentive grant" program. ODE is so con­ vinced in the value of the Masonic Model program that it will pay public school teams $4,000 for attending the Masonic Model workshops. Grants can by used for a variety of school expenditures, including the costs of substitutes while teachers attend the workshops. These grants have been a significant help in boosting atten­ dance at our sessions. • Continued to meet with Department of Education officials regarding other cooperative efforts. • Initiated "Ohio Update" MMSAP newsletter and published three issues. • Secured approval from Bowling Green State University and Ashland University to offer graduate school credit to teachers who attend MMSAP work­ shops. • Promoted upcoming MMSAP with following results: 1. November 14-16, 2000 Workshop was filled to capacity six months ahead of time. 2. January 23-25, 2001 Workshop was filled to capacity seven months ahead of time. 3. February 6-8, 2001 Workshop was filled to capacity five months ahead of time.

• Established dates for future MMSAP Workshops. All will be at the Ohio Masonic Home: May 8-10, 2001 September 10, 2001 (Booster Session) September 1-13, 2001 November 13-15, 2001 January 22-24, 2002

* Includes 1 one-day "booster" session **Includes estimate of 70 attendees for November, 2000 in Springfield. Grand Lodge of Ohio 89

The financial help from the Ohio Department of Education has assisted the Grand Lodge by making the additional workshops possible. However, the basic costs of the program are still our responsibility. The Masonic Model committee is encouraging Lodges and individuals to contribute to the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation so we can continue to fund this program. We also want to strongly communicate to all Ohio Freemasons the great pride they should be feeling as the sponsors of the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program. The respect and admiration for Freemasonry is skyrocketing among Ohio's educational community because of this program. If we, as Masons, can help in some way, to reduce and eliminate drugs, alco­ hol, weapons and other destructive elements from entering our schools, we have performed a significant community service. The Masonic Model Student Assistance Program is such a force, and each one of us can be extremely proud of our partici­ pation in it.

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTEE

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F & A.M. of Ohio

The Committee met in Kent during the Ohio DeMolay Conclave. All three groups in Ohio now have a presence on the Internet with Web pages about their activities and officers. Each individual Chapters, Bethels, and Assemblies are being encouraged to do the same. The addresses for web pages are: DeMolay - ohiodemolay.org Jobs Daughters - ohiojobsdaughters.org Rainbow - OhioRainbow.org Rainbow held its Grand Assembly in Delaware on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan this year for the first time. A new Assembly was opened in Geneva with a large crown attending its Institution. Jobs Daughters held its Grand Session at Kent State. All the youth groups are dependent on Adult Leaders for their success. In order that more Masons may learn first hand about these groups, Lodges should ask them to come to the Lodge to exemplify the degrees, or the Lodge should visit the groups meetings. These young people are learning the values that Masonry holds dear and need the support of all Masons. During the past year some Masonic Districts that have youth groups meeting in their area, did not nominate one person from each group for the "Excellence in Youth Award". Lodges and District Deputy Grand Masters should contact the local groups and ask them for nominees. The future of our Country and our Fraternity is in the hands of these young peo­ ple. In today's society, they must be encouraged to practice the moral and religious Grand Lodge of Ohio 91 ideals that we teach, out side of the schools. The Masonic Youth Groups are one way of seeing this is done. They need your help to select the proper road in life. Don't let this generation pass by without Masonry guiding it in the proper direction.

REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE CHARITY COMMITTEE

The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F.& A.M. of Ohio

Although the names and situations are different as the years pass, the number one purpose of the Grand Lodge Charity Committee remains the same each year, to show compassion to our fellowman and to bring relief and financial assistance to those citizen's in distress that have been brought to our attention by an Ohio Masonic Lodge. The members of the Charity Committee would like to thank our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers and all the members of the Charity Foundation for once again approving every request we have brought before them this year. There seems to be no end to the tragedies and suffering that people are endur­ ing each day and we are grateful to all the lodge's in Ohio who are the eyes and ears of our committee for getting involved and showing their Masonic concern for those in their communities who have fallen on hard times. A few of the requests we answered this year concerned a man who fell through a ceiling and fractured several vertebra in his back requiring months of therapy and rehabilitation, a brother and his wife taking in their home and caring for an abused child, and a brother who is fighting a desperate battle with cancer, each of which brought with it high hospital and medical bills. When the main function of our committee is to act on appeals involving one tragedy or another you realize just how many people there are who have been afflicted by very serious problems which are beyond their physical or financial means and have no where to turn. That is why it is so rewarding to serve on this committee, to try our best to bring some sort of understanding and love to those who are desperate and in need of hope. Each year there seems to be one special request that tears at the heartstrings of each committee member. This time it involved a young 21 year-old father of two who was working at a farmer's co- op loading a truck with shelled corn inside a bin. His foot became caught in an auger that moves the corn and he was pulled into the shelled corn where he suffocated to death before they could get him out. Besides leaving his wife, there were also two young boys without a father, including a 10 month old who is afflicted with Spina Bifida. 92 Proceedings of the

Although nothing could replace the loss of a loved one, our goal is to let these people know that the Masons of Ohio share in their sadness and grief and are will­ ing to relieve a portion of their financial concerns. For this very reason we would like to thank the Masons of Ohio who continue to donate so generously to the Charity Foundation to enable us to continue to serve these unfortunate souls in the good name of Freemasonry.

REPORT OF THE RITUAL COMMITTEE

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F.&A. M. of Ohio

The Masonic Ritual is the basic foundation of our fraternity and is the means of teaching the great lessons of the Symbolic Degrees. While seldom achieved, it is important that we continue to strive for perfection in our Ritual presentations in order to preserve the dignity and integrity of Freemasonry. During this Grand Lodge year, the typewritten copy of the Ritual was used to conduct Ritual instructional meetings in twenty districts. This represents a 25% increase over last year. Overall attendance at these meetings seems to be on arise as well as fine officer participation. The District Deputies are reporting the meetings to be beneficial The committee would like to commend the District Deputies for encouraging the use of this valuable instrument of instruction. We, the members of the Ritual Committee, are more than ready to assist all dis­ tricts in presenting the Ritual program.

Respectfully submitted, Robert O. Sanford, Chairman Billy A. Calendine William P. Mayberry, Sr. Michael W Driver James M. Williamson

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE RITUAL COMMITTEE

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge ofF. & A. M. of Ohio

The original typewritten Ritual is in good condition, and is safely deposited in the Grand Lodge vault. The photocopy of this Ritual remains in very good condi­ tion. It has been properly handled by those districts using it during this past year. In compliance with Resolution No. 5 of this Grand Lodge, the (pen) written Grand Lodge of Ohio 93

Ritual was examined on September 11, 2000 and confirmed by the Grand Secretary. There appears to be no significant deterioration or change in the condition of this Ritual and it remains sealed in the specially designed container in the Grand Lodge vault at Worthington.

Respectfully submitted, Robert O. Sanford, Chairman

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

Most Worshipful Brother David __. Dresser: I'm not going to tell you how to vote, that's your personal decision. I may tell you at some point, how I intend to vote, but mostly, I want to tell you what the process is, because there may be some of you who may be here for the first time. Of course you know that our Most Worshipful Grand Master has passed on, so for the office of Grand Master, I know that Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen has worked very hard, he has been planning for tomorrow for three years. He has many exciting programs in place. He has a lot of recommendations, so I would think that you would seriously want to consider Right Worshipful Brother Jack Allen for the office of Grand Master. Right Worshipful Brother Thomas E. Reynolds is a nice guy. He's done a lot. He's an excellent speaker, he's excited, he's happy and enthusiastic, and the Senior Grand Warden would normally progress to Deputy Grand Master and you might want to think about doing that. Again, the Junior Grand Warden, Right Worshipful Brother William Perry Mayberry, Sr. has been just a wonderful officer. He's in business and has a very suc­ cessful moving business, along with some other enterprises. His family is taking care of most of the business now, and I would think that the Junior Grand Warden would quite properly be progressed to Senior Grand Warden. Now we come to the tricky part. The next on your list is Thomas H. Galyen, Grand Treasurer. Now he's already been through this, and he's already been Grand Master, and a fine Grand Master he was. But he's even better at being Grand Treasurer and I don't think we ought to think about him in the next progression. So, unlike your Lodge, we have some offices that you don't have in Lodge. The Grand Orator is an appointed office, and traditionally is one that progresses to Junior Grand Warden. Right Worshipful Brother Steven J. Krekus has worked very hard, through his first four years. He's done a very good job, and I know he would like to be an elected officer of this Grand Lodge. So Right Worshipful Brother Steven J. Krekus, currently the Grand Orator, would probably be a good idea to progress to Junior Grand Warden. Then we get back to the Grand Treasurer, and we all know that Most Worshipful Brother Galyen has done an excellent job, and you probably would like to consider him, and he very much would like to be your Grand Treasurer again. Then we come to Grand Secretary. Back in August, Most Worshipful Brother Rogers, knowing that I had sent them a letter advising that I would not be available to continue, appointed Most Worshipful Brother George Braatz as the Assistant Grand Secretary. One would assume that the Assistant Grand Secretary might be an excellent person to be elected to the office of Grand Secretary. I cer­ tainly would support that concept. So you might want to consider Most Worshipful Brother George O. Braatz for the position of Grand Secretary. Now he has already moved, he lives in Westerville, just a few short miles from the Grand Lodge Office, he's been serving as Director of Program Development, and has a pretty good start on understanding what the office is all about. So, that would be my recommenda­ tion. Right Worshipful Sir, I trust that that has been ample explanation and God Bless you all, and I know you'll vote for the right people. Grand Lodge of Ohio 95

Deputy Grand Master Jack L. Allen declared ballot open.

ELECTION RESULTS

The following comments were made by each elected officer upon being elected by the delegates of this Grand Lodge.

Office of the Grand Master:

1268 votes cast, 1267 votes for:

Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: My brethren, I won't belabor this, but I have to tell you, hell yes. When I joined Masonry, I was so impressed with the Senior Deacon of my Lodge. I just loved that part. I was raised in March, and by the following September, I knew the Senior Deacon part for all three degrees, and I was ready to go, and my Lodge let me put on the work in those degrees. And that's all I really wanted to be, was Senior Deacon of East Gate Lodge. But I am thrilled that I am going to have this oppor­ tunity to serve all of my beloved brethren of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. Thank you.

Office of Deputy Grand Master:

1268 votes cast, 1262 votes for:

Right Worshipful Brother Thomas E. Reynolds: As God is my strength, and the strength of your vote, and the backing of the Brethren in this room, in serving under Most Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen, I am pleased to accept the position of Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ohio.

Office of Senior Grand Warden:

1241 votes for:

Right Worshipful Brother William Perry Mayberry, Sr: Most Worshipful, I would like to thank the Brethren for the confidence they have placed in me to serve their Grand Lodge as their Senior Grand Warden. And I do accept, thank you.

Office of Junior Grand Warden:

1159 votes for:

Right Worshipful Brother Steven J. Krekus: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, I do accept. Forty four years ago, I lost the race for State Junior Councilor, and I was concerned that Junior Grand 96 Proceedings of the

Warden would be the same as State Junior Councilor, because I never could become State Master Councilor of DeMolay at that time. But I very humbly and honestly thank you very much Brethren, and I will strive to make your vote worthwhile. Thank you.

Office of Grand Treasurer: 1238 votes for: Most Worshipful Brother Thomas H. Galyen: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, my Brethren, thank you for your vote of confidence, I am here to serve you. I do accept. Thank you. Office of Grand Secretary:

1219 votes for: Most Worshipful Brother George O. Braatz: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, I know that the Office of Grand Secretary has some big shoes to fill. Both physically and figuratively. I have worked in the Grand Lodge Office for the past ten months, and I have become extremely aware of the difficult parts of the job, the sophistication that is there, and the hard work that Most Worshipful Brother Dresser and his staff has done. It is a challenge. He has done it admirably, I hope I can do the same. Thank you very much for your cooperation, for your confidence. I will serve you, the Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge Officers to the best of my abilities. Thank you very much.

GRAND SECRETARY EMERITUS Most Worshipful Brother H. Ray Evans: Right Worshipful Sir, voting delegates. In view of the exemplary service, and for the many, many years of hard work and dedication to this Grand Lodge, I hope that the voting delegates will go along with my motion to make Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser a Grand Secretary Emeritus. That is my motion Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master.

Right Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: And rightly moved, and numerously times seconded that Most Worshipful Brother David L. Dresser, the retiring Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Ohio be forever know as Grand Secretary Emeritus. Adopted.

The Grand Master-Elect announced the following appointments for 2001:

Grand Chaplain Walter E. Ellenberger Grand Orator. Jim S. Deyo Grand Marshal James M. Williamson Senior Grand Deacon Michael A. Himes Junior Grand Deacon Ronald L. Winnett Grand Tyler. Wayne J. Wooten Grand Lodge of Ohio 97

REPORT OF THE FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENT

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge ofF. & A.M. of Ohio This year I again had the pleasure of reviewing the proceedings of more than fifty Grand Lodges from around the world. While reviewing the activities of our sis­ ter jurisdictions, I found many items of interest, only a few of which I will summa­ rize here for your pleasure.

Prince Hall Recognition The recognition of Prince Hall Affiliated Grand Lodges continues to increase in number. During the past several years, 30 U. S. Grand Lodges and seven Canadian Grand Lodges have granted recognition to PHA jurisdictions. Many lodges as well as other appendant bodies, who have followed the example of their Grand Lodges, have enjoyed visitations and fraternal exchanges. Recognition of a Grand Lodge must be requested by the Grand Jurisdiction seeking to be recognized. It is not an automatic process. To date, 17 Prince Hall Affiliated Grand Lodges have requested and been granted recognition from the Grand Lodge of England. A total of seven overseas Grand Lodges have granted recognition to various Prince Hall jurisdictions.

One Day Festivals Many of the jurisdictions reviewed this year have had some form of a "One Day Festival" as a membership effort. All reported that they were pleased with the results. Last year, Wisconsin held two one day classes called "Man to Masons Classes" which resulted in their largest one-year growth of membership since 1960. They report that this program has spurred many newly raised Master Masons to bring their friends and co-workers into the fraternity.

Comments from Visiting Grand Master of Arizona while addressing the Grand Lodge of Texas: "I've got to tell you, my Brothers, that the state of Masonry in Arizona is very good. Last year we had a total decline in membership of 7 for the entire state. Now I will tell you that one way we did this was a class sim­ ilar to your Texas Day of Advance. Let me tell you what the results of some of that class have been. It has just been since November, a year and one-month later. We have had probably 10 to 12 lodges in the state of Arizona that have been saved by that class. In Arizona we had Masters and Wardens who must learn at least one of the three lectures before they are installed. And, as a consequence of that we have had Past Masters primarily in our officer lines. Very few of the younger guys have gone forward. As a result of this one-day class we now have in 12 of our lodges, the complete Deacons and Stewards chairs manned by men that are under 40-years of age. We have seen a complete resurrection of some of these lodges that I was con­ vinced that I was going to have to close. We have adopted a candidate education program that has been exceptionally well received. We have young Masons now in Arizona that are given the opportunity to do it the traditional way or the new way." 98 Proceedings of the

Minnesota's Approach to One-day Festival Classes: To better facilitate a one-day class, the organizational responsibilities were divided into nine principle areas of need. These areas of responsibility were as follows:

co-chairman education facilities publicity ritual registration transportation and parking banquets ladies' program liaison to District Reps

Job descriptions were prepared for each of the areas of responsibility to prevent any duplication of effort or conflicting decisions. It was determined that each sub­ committee chairman would select committee members to assist in the preparatory work. The committee also agreed to use the following assumptions when complet­ ing the organizational duties and planning the actual event:

All degrees will be presented in full, no abbreviations Lodges will investigate candidates and vote as usual All candidates must be registered with Grand Lodge prior to the degree All candidates must be accompanied by a lodge member All candidates will have a mentor appointed prior to his degrees All candidates will complete the written proficiency Proper dress will be a coat and tie for all participants The fee will be $250 per candidate, all-inclusive, payable in advance All candidates will be obligated on a Bible presented at registration All candidates will receive a white leather apron All candidates will receive the, "Gift for You"packet Remaining current year's dues will be waived Any money remaining after all expenses are met will be returned to the Lodges on a pro rated basis

While the men were being introduced to the mysteries of Masonry, approxi­ mately 80 ladies were enjoying the ladies program. The event was a financial success. The degree fees of $250 per candidate and the meal and transportation fee of $35 for participants and observers generated approximately $48,000. Total expenses for the event were approximately $38,000. The remaining $ 10,000 was distributed to the Lodges that participated by bringing candidates. Seeing the tremendous success of the event, the Deputy Grand Master immedi­ ately set the date of the next "One-Day-to-Masonry" event. Grand Lodge of Ohio 99

Washington State's Feeling Concerning "One Day Festivals" The one-day conferrals have had a stimulating effect on some Lodges. Brethren who have not attended Lodge for a long time but who escorted a candidate through the one day degrees are becoming active. There is a renewed interest by Lodges to put on their own degrees with improved ritual. Candidates are becoming proficient at a faster pace than before. And our new brethren are bringing into their lodges a level of excitement and enthusiasm that has not been seen for quite awhile.

Conducting Business in the EA° There continues to be trend among Grand Lodges to change their codes in order to conduct lodge business in the EA° This allows the candidates to attend lodge meetings as they progress through the degrees. The logic is that the candidates have a feeling of belonging and thus will working more diligently to gain their profi­ ciency and complete the work faster.

Fourteen-State Survey on Alcohol Use within Masonic Facilities During the last weekend in July, 14 State jurisdictions in addition to Ohio were in attendance at a cornerstone ceremony in Lexington, MA. Knowing that the dele­ gates attending our Grand Communication would be considering legislation allow­ ing Lodges to rent their banquet areas for the wedding receptions, I seized the opportunity to conduct a survey regarding the use of alcohol within their respective jurisdictions. I merely asked two questions; Can Alcohol be served for a lodge function other than a tyled meeting? Can the Banquet Room be rented for a function that includes alcohol? Eleven out of the fourteen jurisdictions replied, Yes, it was permissible for a function to include alcohol. Jurisdiction Can Alcohol be served Can Banquet room be for a Lodge function? rented for a function that includes alcohol?

The important thing to remember here is that Masonry is alive and well in these eleven states. Masonry has not gone to "hell in a handcart" because of their policy regarding the use of alcohol.

The Internet has a Masonic Presence Masonic web sites continue to grow at a very fast pace. Approximately 25% of the jurisdictional proceedings reviewed included reports from Internet or Computer Committees. Masonic Leadership must recognize that there is significant population of young men out there in cyberspace who are potential petitioners. A Masonic pres­ ence on the Internet not only can help to develop a higher degree of Masonic aware­ ness among those who surf it regularly, but it can improve the communication abil­ ity of a lodge and its members who have access to the internet and e-mail.

Computers for Lodge secretaries: Over 50% of the Lodge Secretaries in Connecticut are communicating with the Grand Secretary via computer. This accomplishment was considered essential in establishing a capability that will lay the foundation for a computerized lodge communication network. One of the Grand Lodge officers is in charge of developing a list of all Connecticut Masons who have e-mail capability thereby enabling the jurisdiction to start the first phase of a cyber­ space newsletter.

Michigan's Masonic Model Student Assistance: PGM Baugher referred to a quote by a teacher named Haim Ginott as his lead-in for a speech supporting the Masonic Model Student Assistance program; "I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates a climate; it is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal; in all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis be alleviated or escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized." (This concept should be used when an Officer deals with a subordinate officer, when a candidate coach deals with the candidate and when adult advisors deal with our youth group members.)

Michigan's Pillar Clubs: One of the future programs of this grand jurisdiction is to establish "Pillar Clubs" in those communities where Lodges have closed or con­ solidated. The purpose is to maintain a Masonic presence in these communities even though the lodge no longer resides in that town. These clubs would continue to pro­ vide for the social needs of the brethren but would not confer degrees. Conclusion It has been my pleasure to review the proceedings of our sister jurisdictions throughout the past twelve months. It has convinced me that we are not alone in our frustrations or our concerns regarding declining membership. We can learn from the experiences of our brethren in other states and other countries. One lesson we should all learn is that change is inevitable but change isn't Grand Lodge of Ohio 101

something to be feared. Contrary to some Brethren's belief, Masonry has always been in an atmosphere of change and will always continue to be in a state of subtle and continuous change. Just as the Masonry we received is different from the Masonry that was practiced 75 years ago, the Masonry of the new millennium will be different from the Masonry of today. Our challenge is to be a part of the change and make it work to strengthen our beloved fraternity. I have always liked the quote from John Cage:

"I can't understand why people are frightened by new ideas; Frankly, I'm frightened by some of the old ones!"

JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE REPORT

Partial Report No. 1 - Legislation A

The following proposed legislation was read at the 190th Annual Communication, referred to this and the Advisory Committee, printed on pages 40 and 41 of the Proceedings, laid over the required period of time, and is now ready for consideration. The following legislation is submitted to expand Code Chapter 27 as fol­ lows: Insert the following as Code Section 27.05, and renumber existing Code Section 27.05 as Code Section 27. 6.

(New) Sec. 27.05 Grand Master's Class, (a) A Grand Master may invoke this sec­ tion as often as he sees fit during his term of office, thereby allowing the conferral of all three Symbolic Lodge degrees as identified in Code Sec. 27.01 (a) in one day upon a class of candidates to known as a Grand Master's Class. (b) All conflicting sections of the code that normally prevent a one day class are waived when the Grand Master declares a Grand Master's Class. (c) Each Grand Master will determine the proficiency requirements for those candidates initiated, passed and raised in a Grand Master's Class. (d) The process and administration of a Grand Master's Class will be as fol­ lows: 1. Candidate will be processed in the traditional method by the lodge which he petitions. If a candidate has taken any degree work in the symbolic lodge, he must fulfill the proficiency requirements as defined by the Grand Master for the degrees conferred upon a Grand Master's Class. 2. Grand Lodge, through a committee designated by the Grand Master and chaired by a Grand Lodge Officer of his selection, will control the Grand Master's Class event. The committee's responsibilities will include all logistics, can­ didate registration, processing of registration fees to the Grand Secretary, equip­ ment, meals, refreshments, facilities, and all other requirements except ritual pre­ sentation and indoctrination and education. Grand Lodge of Ohio 103

3. Indoctrination and education of the candidates will be the responsi­ bility of the Grand Lodge Education and Information Committee, which may utilize DEO's. A separate room will be provided for committee and candidates to facilitate this process. 4. Ritual presentation and proficiency requirements will remain the exclusive domain of the Grand Master. 5. A special two-part Grand Master's Class registration form will be required. This form will be provided by Grand Lodge to lodge secretaries. One form will be required for each candidate and forwarded over the lodge seal to the com­ mittee. Part 11 will be returned to the respective lodge secretary certifying that the candidate appeared and received the degrees. An interim card will be presented to the candidate by Grand Lodge. 6. A registration fee to be determined prior to each event, will be for­ warded by the lodge for each candidate to cover expenses, including refreshments and meals. Lodges may, if they so desire, request this fee from the candidate over and above the usual fees and dues a lodge requires of its candidates. 7. All Master Masons attending, who wish to partake of refreshments and meals, will be required to register and pay a predetermined fee. The Grand Tyler and his committee will be responsible for verification of current standing of atten­ dees, separate from the registration committee. 8. Following each Grand Master's Class it will be the responsibility of the respective lodges to, within 60 calendar days (July and August excluded unless the lodge normally meets in these months), collect any unpaid fees or dues, provide candidate counseling, coach for predetermined proficiency and approve or reject same, provide Bibles (if this is a lodge tradition), present the signed and dated Masonic Apron, and issue a dues card when all of the preceding have been accom­ plished. The Committee on Masonic Jurisprudence finds the proposed legislation to be in proper form and properly before The Grand Lodge for consideration. Neil M. Smalley, PGM, Chairman Michael A. Himes William P. Mayberry, Sr. David W. McClenahan John W. McKahan, PGM Edgar L. Miller, PGM James E. Olmstead, PGM Terry W. Posey Gene R. Pequignot Thomas B.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION

To The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F&AM, of Ohio: The program of Masonic education in Ohio continues to focus on its end prod­ uct—bringing improved education and information to the membership of this Grand Lodge, with a particular emphasis on basic training for our candidates. This effort must be accomplished through several levels of leadership, begin­ ning with the Grand Lodge Officers and progressing through the Education Committee and the District Education Officers, to the Lodge Education Officers and candidate counselors. Sometimes as information and programs travel through this network of leadership, the initial purpose of the effort may become sidetracked. The committee is working very hard to make sure that does not happen. Adjustments to programs become a continuing part of the work of this com­ mittee as it tries to maintain its objectives. There have been a number of changes in the past year; most have been accepted well and proven successful. There will be more changes in the future - all aimed at improving the process of genuine educa­ tion. The committee itself is changing. This will be my final report as chairman. My responsibilities in the Grand Lodge Office as Director of Program Development make it difficult to continue in the role as chairman, although I hope to continue to be part of the committee's work. Our new Grand Master will appoint a new chair­ man. A few other changes in the committee will be made, and I most especially want to thank Rt. Worshipful Brother Israel R. (Bud) Putman for his outstanding work as secretary of the committee for many years. He is retiring from that position. His background as a Past District Deputy Grand Master and Associate Grand Chaplain have served the committee very well. The District Education Officers play a vital role in the work of the committee and their dedication to the purposes of education, and, in most cases, their willing­ ness to go above and beyond their duties in their work with the Lodge Education Officers, truly is appreciated. The committee held two regular meetings last year, plus its annual training ses­ sion for DEOs. Our Masonic correspondence courses have continued to draw students inter­ ested in increasing their level of Masonic education. The traditional Series IV Course attracted nearly 275 persons since last Grand Lodge, with about 100 new completions. Series V, now in its fourth year, recorded more than 100 new entries and about 75 graduates since last Grand Lodge. Since their inceptions, Series IV has totaled nearly 13,050 enrollees and 6,050 graduates; Series V has recorded some 1,150 enrollments and nearly 575 completions. We commend three Right Worshipful Brethren for all their work in administer­ ing and grading these courses. They are Gary Keller, DDGM, and Dwight Stuckey and Don Miller, both PDDGM, all from the 16th Masonic District. However, these brethren are looking for some relief. It is a difficult, timecon- Grand Lodge of Ohio 125 suming chore, but one that is rewarding as it touches so many Masons who want to increase their light in our Fraternity. If any individual or team of persons would like to discuss taking on this valuable responsibility, please contact the Grand Lodge Office. The committee maintains contact with DEOs and others in the state through its Education Committee newsletter, edited by Worshipful Brother Marc Stevens. The committee is always seeking new ideas and suggestions from the member­ ship as it plans its work. As candidates in Freemasonry continually seek greater quantities of "light," so should all Masons persist in a search for more information and insight about our Fraternity. The Education Committee is working to make that pursuit a bit easier for every member.

It is indeed a pleasure for me to be in your session today. This is my second year. I think my first year was last year in Columbus, and I really enjoyed it, and I also enjoy all the amenities that have been afforded to me. I, along with the Prince Hall Masons of Ohio am looking forward to increasing our participation. We are looking forward to working with you. We are also looking forward to getting into some programs together. I have been approached to deal with some things with legislation, also blood banks that we want to work out in Cincinnati, and a few other things, but I would just like to say, for those of you that have worked together with Prince Hall Masons throughout Ohio, I have received nothing but good reports and enthusiasm. I am looking forward to continuing such support together for Freemasonry in the State of Ohio. Again, thank you very much for this opportunity.

GREETINGS FROM THE GRAND LODGE OF INDIANA

Max L. Carpenter, Past Grand Master and Grand Secretary: Thank you, Grand Master-elect. That sounds kind of nice doesn't it? Well I certainly want to bring greetings from the Grand Lodge of Indiana. Brethren it's always a pleasure to visit the Grand Lodge of Ohio. I feel right at home here. I do wish you well, Grand Master, in the coming year. I know it will be a good one. I'm amazed at the legislation that was introduced today and acted on. That's quite good, we don't work that fast in Indiana. Of course, we don't get that kind of per diem either, so that tends to draw things out I guess. Grand Master, thank you very much. Brethren, I wish you all well. If you're in Indianapolis, that's where I'm at and you're always welcome. Thank you very much.

GREETINGS FROM THE GRAND LODGE OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Right Worshipful Brother Jules Tepper, Junior Grand Warden: Thank you, Most Worshipful Grand Master-elect. Grand Lodge Officers- elect, Brethren all: First let me bring you the greetings of our Most Worshipful Grand Master Mansour Hatefi. I am glad to see everyone is here, so bright eyed and bushy tailed. Or fuzzy eyed and dragon tailed, one or the other. We had a long night last night, it was very enjoyable. On behalf of our distinguished guests, I've been asked to speak to you, because they always like to pick on the little guy, and the one with the least amount of experience. And as unaccustomed as I am to speaking, Jack said he would get even with me, and that's what he's doing to me and to all of you this morning. I must say that I am very deeply impressed with Masonry in the great state of Ohio. It is one of the most proactive Grand Jurisdictions I've had the wonderful opportunity to visit. Being retired, I've been assigned to represent our Grand Lodge in many Jurisdictions. But the Masons of Ohio have a lot to be proud of. You allow Brethren to go out and speak more freely about membership, you've lowered your admission age to 19 years old, go out into the public, you award $94,000 a year in scholarships for higher education, get involved in Special Olympics, you've donated in excess of $60,000, that's a lot to be proud of. I've watched the way you handled your legisla­ tion yesterday, it was well done, well organized. A lot of jurisdictions should come here and take notice and govern themselves accordingly. I really don't have a lot to say this morning. I do appreciate the opportu­ nity to come here and mingle with you all, it's not my first visit to Ohio. I started coming to Ohio some 20 years ago so that we could avail ourselves of getting up at 4:00 in the morning, having breakfast and doing a degree, in beautiful Marion, Ohio. Then we go out to play golf, and whoever said it doesn't rain on a golf course has never played golf in Marion, Ohio on Memorial Day Weekend. Masonry is alive and doing very well in the state of Ohio. My daughter taught me a great les­ son in life and I'll leave you with her words, she said, "Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal." Masonry here in Ohio has not taken its eyes off the goal. Thank you. Grand Lodge of Ohio 129

REPORT OF THE GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE

Partial Report No. 1

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF Neoacacia Lodge No. 595, F. & A. M.

This matter came before The Committee on Grievances of The Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons Of Ohio pursuant to Section 43.03 (o) of the Code and pursuant to notice given of its meeting held on Thursday, October 26, 2000. Neoacacia Lodge No. 595 F. & A.M., by and through its Worshipful Master, Dennis A. Runkel, filed its appeal from the decision of the Trial Panel con­ vened for the purpose of hearing charges filed against DAVID ALLEN JONES for unMasonic conduct alleged to have occurred in the answering of questions pro­ pounded to a petitioner for degrees. The Trial Panel found DAVID ALLEN JONES not guilty of unMasonic conduct and the Lodge appealed to The Committee on Grievances. The Committee declined to consider any facts or circumstances regarding the conduct of the trial or the actions of the Trial Panel. Section 43.03 of the Code offers a right of appeal from the actions of the Trial Panel to a "brother" who may, at any time within one year after the decision of the Trial Panel, desire to perfect his appeal. No such right is given to a Lodge in this jurisdiction and no such right should be inferred to anyone other than the brother charged and against whom an adverse judgment has been rendered or upon whom an adverse sentence has been imposed. The Committee respectfully recommends the denial of the appeal and that the decision of the Trial Panel be affirmed in all respects.

Respectfully Submitted, Charles A. Brigham III, P.M., Chairman

Partial Report No. 2

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF Keith A. Murdock

This matter came before The Committee on Grievances of The Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Ohio pursuant to Section 43.03 (o) of the Code and pursuant to notice given of its meeting held on Thursday, October 26, 2000. KEITH A. MURDOCK filed his appeal from the decision of the Trial Panel finding him guilty of unMasonic charges stemming from a misdemeanor con­ viction involving sexual imposition against an adult female. Mr. Murdock was pre­ sent and was given a full hearing before The Committee. Brother Lawrence Wilkes 130 Proceedings of the of Proctorville Lodge No. 550 F. & A.M. was present and spoke on behalf of Appellant. A letter of support written by Worshipful Brother Doug Clark was also offered. Mr. Murdock maintains that the Trial Panel imposed an inappropriate penalty of expulsion under the facts and circumstances before it. Mr. Murdock maintains that the members of the Panel, at the conclusion of the trial on September 15, 1998, advised him that his conduct would not warrant a sentence of expulsion. Almost ninety days later, however, the report of the Trial Panel was issued. The Trial Panel found Mr. Murdock guilty of unMasonic conduct and recommended a sen­ tence of expulsion from the Fraternity. Mr. Murdock infers that additional prejudi­ cial facts and circumstances were presented to the Trial Panel during the interven­ ing months between the actual trial and the written report of December 10,1998 and that these matters were considered by the Trial Panel without his ability to respond appropriately. The Committee determined that it lacked sufficient evidence and docu­ mentation upon which to base a fair and just determination of this matter. The Committee will attempt to obtain additional information it deems appropriate to properly present its recommendation to this Grand Lodge at a future session, The Committee respectfully recommends the continuance of this appeal without decision.

Respectfully Submitted, Charles A. Brigham III, P.M., Chairman

Partial Report No. 3:

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF Loy L. Noe This matter came before The Committee on Grievances of The Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Ohio pursuant to Section 43.03 (o) of the Code and pursuant to notice given of its meeting held on Thursday, October 26, 2000. LOY L. NOE filed his appeal from the decision of the Trial Panel finding him guilty of unMasonic charges stemming from a felony assault conviction. It was not immediately apparent to The Committee whether the proceed­ ing brought before it was one of appeal or request for restoration. Questions of pro­ cedure were discussed. The Chairman of this Committee will communicate a clarification of pro­ cedures to Mr. Noe and will advise him that this matter will be held in continuance until the next meeting of The Committee. The Committee respectfully recommends the continuance of this appeal without decision until the next session of Grand Lodge.

Respectfully Submitted, Charles A. Brigham III, P.M., Chairman Grand Lodge of Ohio 131

REPORT OF THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge ofF.& A.M. of Ohio: Now in its thirty-seventh year of operation, the Grand Lodge Scholarship Program continues to make a substantial contribution to the educational growth of the young people in our institutions of higher education. The 2000-2001 awards continued at $2,000, however by action of the Foundation Board, John Carroll University, Ursuline College and Xavier University were added, thus increasing the number of participating institutions from forty-four to forty-seven. The committee continued the practice, with permission of the scholars, of issu­ ing press releases, announcing the awarding of a Grand Lodge scholarship to the individual named, to the hometown newspaper of each recipient. This public rela­ tions venture is to enhance the visibility of the Scholarship Program. The Scholarship Committee extends its thanks to the Brethren for their strong and continued support of this Program. Through this support, the Grand Lodge Scholarship program was able to contribute $94,000 to support the higher education programs of forty-seven young men and women. I, personally, have enjoyed serving as Chairman, and working with the Grand Lodge Scholarship Program. Enclosed is the list of the participating institutions and respective scholarship recipients for the 2000-2001 academic year.

REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE OF OHIO SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

To The M. W Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio The Grand Lodge of Ohio Scholarship Committee, through its Scholarship Foundation, Inc. elected this year to add three additional educational institutions of higher learning to its current list of 44 Ohio colleges, universities and technical schools. This now brings the total number to 47 receiving a scholarship in the 136 Proceedings of the amount of $2,000 each year. Thus, since it was established in 1964 the Scholarship Foundation has awarded $1,309,250 in scholarships. Today, your Scholarship Foundation has assets of 1.3 million. The Foundation is a charitable corporation and all donations to the fund are tax deductible. The objective of the Foundation is to solicit, acquire, receive and accept gifts to fund the principal and to make the income available to the Scholarship Committee of the Grant Lodge for awarding scholarships. We say, thank you, to each of you who have continued to support the Scholarship Program. A special thank you for a gift received from the estate of Brother Dan E. Poljak. Think of all the young people the Scholarship Foundation has supported during their years of continuing education. Many who would have been unable to continue or complete their formal education without this assistance. To this end, we say, thank you for your support of the Grand Lodge Scholarship Foundation.

Respectfully submitted Vernon E. Musser, P.G.M. President David L. Dresser, P.G.M. Vice President Jim S. Deyo, Secretary, Treasurer James E. Olmstead, P.G.M.

OHIO MASONIC HOME TRUSTEES REPORT As Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Masonic Home I am again pleased to report on our activities during the past year. These are eventful times, and the Home is continuing to grow and change rapidly. One unintentional change is in the membership of the main Board of Trustees, where six of the fifteen members have retired and been replaced during the past year and a half, and a couple more will retire at the end of 2000. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to these retired trustees and the significant contributions each has made to our Home. The changes include: M.Wor. Bro. Douglas O. Brenneman retired 5/31/00 Replaced by R.W. Bro. Michael T. Puskarich R.W. Bro. Jim S. Deyo retired 12/31/99 Replaced by R.W. Bro. William P. Mayberry, Sr. M.W. Bro. David L. Dresser, retired 1999 Replaced by R.W. Bro. William R. Powers Sir Kt. Paul R. Jellison, retired 12/31/99 Replaced by Bro. Robert E. McNutt Sir Kt. Richard H. Palm, retired 12/31/99 Replaced by Bro. Richard M. Holcombe M.W. Bro. Thomas D. Zahler, retired 12/31/99 Replaced by Bro. James A. Landaker Grand Lodge of Ohio 137

In Springfield, Pathways Center, the new 60-bed special care dementia building, was completed and started operation in June, 2000. This is one of the best facilities in Ohio for residents with the dreaded Alzheimer's disease, and it has been badly needed. It contains its own kitchen and other facilities for the residents. The Retirement Village continues to grow, with 60 patio homes in use and another 12 being completed. These 12 are already spoken for by waiting tenants. 24 more patio homes have been approved for construction as needed. The apartments at Cunningham Place are essentially full. A major improvement for the Retirement Village is a new community building for use by the residents and others, containing its own kitchen and dining room, recreation rooms, general purpose rooms, etc. One very noticeable change is the new water tower. The old one, which was a landmark for the area, is now gone. A new laundry and a new power house are in operation. At Waterville (Toledo) the Browning Masonic Community, Inc. is also changing. Needs for growth and expansion of the retirement living facilities are being studied and scheduled for construction. On March 31, 2000 still another unit of the Home was added, with the Hamilton County Eastern Star Home in Cincinnati merging with the Home and becoming the Masonic Eastern Star Community, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ohio Masonic Home. Mrs. Nancy Boggs is the President of this corporation. The needs are being studied for future work to strengthen this facility. Each of these branch facilities has its own Board of Trustees, chosen as experts on the facility and its needs, and each one operates under the general super­ vision of the Ohio Masonic Home. On a personal note, having reached the mandatory retirement age for a trustee, I am making my last annual report to you. It has been a real pleasure to work with this group of dedicated Masons on your behalf for the good of our Ohio Masonic Home. May your support continue to this great philanthropy, for although some of our operations now are just for retired Masons, we continue the main phil­ anthropic purpose of caring for our needy Brethren. Your Ohio Masonic Home Trustees remain dedicated to providing good retirement facilities for the Masons of Ohio including, but by no means limited to, those who need financial assistance.

Earl C. Gifford, Chairman

GREETINGS FROM THE OHIO MASONIC HOME

Brother Jerry Kuyoth, CEO: Grand Master-elect Allen, Brothers all. I bring you greetings from the 620 residents and 650 employees of the Ohio Masonic Home and its family of facilities. I guess a double dose of Ohio Masonic Home is something at the Grand Lodge and we appreciate that. Author Clifton Taulbert wrote in his book Eight Habits of the Heart that "caring communities are characterized by caring people." I would like each of you to consider what the Ohio Masonic Home is to 138 Proceedings of the you. Is it a nursing facility? An assisted living unit, possibly an independent living facility? Unfortunately the term, "a Masonic poor house," has been used, and also the phrase, "only a place for the rich." Possibly to you, it is nothing more than a group of brown brick buildings, tucked away in Springfield, Ohio. My plea to you today is that the Ohio Masonic Home is much, much more. This caring community as described by Clifton Taulbert is characterized by caring people. People like Tim McCaulla, a nursing assistant with 28 years of service, the last 10 with perfect attendance. By my calculations, that means that Tim hasn't missed a day at work, for any reason, since our retiring Grand Secretary was Grand Master. And that's a long time ago. People like Phyllis Blanton, a beautician with 23 years of service, who comes into work at 6:00 am because one special Alzheimer resident can only come to the beauty shop at a time when no other residents are pre­ sent. People like Howard Applin, a dietary supply clerk who has 17 years of ser­ vice who sees that supplies are available to prepare 1500 meals a day in three kitchens, with an average of seven special events daily. These are just three exam­ ples of what the Ohio Masonic Home is. For us, and I know for you, care, compassion and concern are not just words found in Webster's Dictionary. They are actions that serve to build this car­ ing community. They are Right Worshipful Brother Jim French, President of the Browning Masonic Community, who regularly rolls up his sleeves, cooks breakfast, drives the facility van, or cuts grass just because that's what needs to be done. They are Brother Greg Holm, President of Masonic Retirement Village, that runs his orga­ nization so well, that the number of complaints coming from the CEO has dropped from 12 to zero for the last six consecutive Board meetings. They are Right Worshipful Brother Tim Strawn, President of your Endowment Foundation, who will spend three hours on the road until 11:00 p.m. making a planned giving visit, only to be back at the facility bright and early the next day to make a 50-year pre­ sentation with a local Lodge to a resident. They are Elizabeth Whitaker, Masonic Eastern Star Board Chair, and Nancy Boggs, President, who know each employee and resident by name because concern to them is more than just a word. And they are Linda Luttrell, President of Masonic Health Care, who fights for her residents by providing the highest quality of employee training and staffing levels 30% higher than the average facility in our country. But most of all, it is each of you, and the tens of thousands of Master Masons who have traveled before us, who have created this community of care. Your unyielding support of the Home for the past 108 years has resulted in a lifestyle for the residents of the Home that places the individual at the heart of everything we do. Brothers, your Masonic Home has tripled the number of inde­ pendent accommodations and increased the number of residents receiving nursing care by 50% over the past five years. First Peter 3:8 states, "Finally all of you live in harmony with one another, be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble." The progress I have described is due to our Boards of Trustees and their willingness to take bold steps. Thank you to all 15 of our Master Mason Board Members, most essentially Most Illustrious Brother Dick Maier, and Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter, Most Illustrious Grand High Priest Earl Gifford, Grand Lodge of Ohio 139 both of whom have served the Masons of Ohio as Board Chairman over the last 10 years. Thank you for your vision and expertise. These men, along with each of you make our Ohio Masonic Home campuses truly campuses of care. Thank you.

REPORT OF THE TRIAL COMMISSIONER-IN-CHIEF

Rt. Wor. Brother Morton S. Negin:

Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Members of Grand Lodge and Brethren all: First I would like to acknowledge the passing of R. W. Bro. Ralph J. Marquis who died on May 17, 2000. For fifteen and one-half years he served this Grand Lodge as Trial Commissioner-In-Chief and did an outstanding job and we will all miss him. Activity on a total thirty (30) cases came before the Trial Commissioner- In-Chief this past year. • Total of nine (9) new cases have been received by the Trial Commissioner-In-Chief since our last communication. • Trial panel and a chairman have been appointed or the cases were referred to a Regional Trial Commissioner for each of these cases. Twenty (20) of these cases involved felony convictions or pleas of guilty to a felony; Two (2) involved misdemeanors and eight (8) involved non-criminal matters. There were fourteen (14) findings of GUILTY OF UNMASONIC CON­ DUCT; three (3) findings of NOT GUILTY OF UNMASONIC CONDUCT; and three (3) cases were dismissed, 20 of these cases have been completed and (10) cases are still pending. Several of these pending case have been received in the last few months. Ten (10) of these cases resulted in the penalty of EXPULSION; three (3) resulted in the penalty of SUSPENSION; one (1) resulted in REPRIMAND; and three (3) cases were DISMISSED; (3) NOT GUILTY. The details of each case is spelled out in our annual proceedings. Since my appointment I have, at the request of our Grand Master fully implemented Code Section # 43 and there have been appointed seven (7) Regional Commissioners. In accordance with Code Sec. # 43.01 c, a State Wide meeting has been scheduled to be held at Grand Lodge Headquarters on Saturday, November 18,2000 and letters have been sent out to all Regional Commissioners, Trial Commissioners and Judge Advocates. I would like to take this opportunity for myself and R. W. Brother Marquis to thank all of the good brethren who have served on our Trial Panels this past year, either as a Chairman or a member of a Trial Panel. At best, serving on a Trial Panel is a very unpleasant task. Surely, these dedicated brethren have done just a little bit more for Freemasonry in Ohio this year. Also, I would like to thank M.W. Brother David L. Dresser and his fine staff for their counsel and excellent cooperation this past year and especially M. W. Brother Dresser for his help since my appointment in May of this year. It is indeed much appreciated. Right Worshipful I request the acceptance this report and the details of the individual cases attached hereto. Grand Lodge of Ohio 141

WAY, MEANS AND ACCOUNTS REPORT

Most Worshipful Brother Douglas O. Brenneman: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, Most Worshipful Sirs, Right Worshipful Sirs, and by brethren: For 16 years, Most Worshipful Brother C. Rolland Lattanner served this Grand Lodge as Chairman of Ways, Means and Accounts in a most admirable man­ ner. My brethren, I know that I can certainly fill Most Worshipful Brother Lattanner's shoes, but I pray to God that He will give me the wisdom and enthusi­ asm to serve in the same manner that Most Worshipful Brother Lattanner has. It is certainly my pleasure this morning to be able to lay before you once again a bal­ anced budget. The budget for the ensuing year is $888,835. Our anticipated income for the coming year is $998,400 in per capita, and $128,000 from investment and credit card income. Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, I move the adoption of a $888,835 budget for the ensuing year. The motion was seconded and adopted. 148 Proceedings of the

RETIREMENT OF GRAND MASTER (SYMBOLIC) Most Worshipful Brother H. Ray Evans: Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, distinguished guests and brethren all: as you know, there will be no presentation of the Past Grand Masters Jewel, and I do not wish to leave, or have you leave this Grand Lodge on a sad note. But after serving as Most Worshipful Brother P. Dean Gerber's Deputy Grand Master in 1992, I had hoped that no other Grand Master would have to endure seeing such terrible pain as suffered as did Past Grand Master Gerber. Ron Rogers was my Masonic son, that in itself tells you how I feel about Ron. His knowledge about Freemasonry was on a level with all great Masonic leaders who want to make our fraternity better. The excruciating pain and suffering he endured to follow his dream of being Grand Master should make us all resolve to be better men, and Masons. He'll never have the oppor­ tunity to wear his Past Grand Master Jewel, nor will he be able to use his skill as a leader. He has given his all for Freemasonry. In the 32nd Degree, the Prince Commander kneeled at the still body of Constance and remarked "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend." You are all friends of Most Worshipful Brother Ronald R. Rogers, Grand Master. So mote it be. The report, on motion, was received and adopted

ENDOWMENT REPORT Most Worshipful Brother Thomas H. Galyen, Grand Treasurer: I know a lot of Brethren are wondering how much money we are going to pay this year for Endowed Memberships. In the next week or two the Lodges will be getting the checks. As you know, last year we paid $35.00, we did a little better this year, you're going to get $38.00. And each year we hope to keep that going up. Now I know that Lodges, which have $50.00 dues, are probably not pushing the Endowed Membership because you're only going to get $38.00 back, but again, remember that's money you receive for the life of your Lodge. You can also mark it Memorial Endowments. I'm sure you have a lot of Past Masters whose widows would like to purchase a Memorial Endowed Membership, in the name of their husband who labored for years in your Lodge. Again, that's income that will come in for the rest of the life of your Lodge. And unfortunately, we don't want to see the scythe of time come, and take your members, but unfortunately when the Great Architect of the Universe calls them, you're going to have income for the rest of the life of your Lodge. So the Endowed Membership is a very good program, and, yes, we know the cost of your Lodges is going up and you're going to have to increase your dues. Our soon-to-be Grand Master has appointed a committee to look into the Endowed Membership, and maybe it's time we have to raise that $600.00. It won't be going back, it will be going forward, because again we know that you are increasing your dues, and there has to be more money go in to financially support the increase so we can give you more money back. But again I am proud to announce an increase this year, you will get $38.00 per endowed membership, and there's 2,323 currently that are in the program for this year. Thank you, Grand Master-elect.

GRAND MASTERS REMARKS

Most Worshipful Brother Jack L. Allen: My Brethren and Ladies, this is not where I expected to be six years and three months ago. I had stepped down as secretary of East Gate Lodge, and was looking for a bass boat. The phone rang one night when I wasn't there. Yvonne gave me the message that Most Worshipful Brother Zahler, the Grand Master, had called. "Yeah, what'd he want?" "I don't know, but you better call him back in the morning." Every time these things have happened to me, Yvonne has figured them out just like that. First Charlie Neff called, and I didn't know what he wanted, and she said, "well guess". And he came to visit us, and invited me to be the Deputy Grand Master of the 14th District. And then Tom's call to become the Junior Grand Deacon. Speaking of Yvonne, allow me to introduce the whole family. Yvonne is my bride of 44 years, a week from today. My oldest son Trent, my daughter-in-law Kim, and their daughter Halee. Second son, Brother Jon-Scott Allen, who claims Jennifer, my other beautiful daughter-in-law, all to himself. And he's kind of antic­ ipating being the Worshipful Master of Ashland Lodge No. 151 in a few days. Now in the tribe of boys, and I haven't introduced them all yet, of course we had to slip a daughter in there. My daughter Apryl, her husband Eric Warner, our granddaugh­ ter Lydia, and our grandson Avery. And the youngest in the family, my son Eric of East Gate Lodge. Right down front, and you may not be able to see her from all parts of the auditorium because she's sitting in a wheelchair, Yvonne's mother Doris Birkhead, 95 years young and a resident of the Ohio Masonic Home. We have had countless friends, including the late James J. Harbage, Past Grand Master. We passed each other as Worshipful Master of East Gate Lodge by 30 years, and we pass each other as Grand Masters by 50 years. From every person you should learn something, if you'll just take the time. Did you realize that if you use the word "listen" and take all of its letters and rearrange them, they spell "silent". So listen. He taught me to step aside for others. He had served many years as Trustee of East Gate Lodge, and I had just completed my year as Worshipful Master, and he wanted me to be fully involved in the building of our building in Gahanna. And so after 25 years as a Trustee, this very capable and talented and dis­ tinguished young man stepped aside, so that I could have the office. This year is dedicated to him, and I have his gavel. That's what friends are for. They let you learn. To all my friends, I hope I said thank you for teaching or letting me learn. There's been many. To Richard Renner, who sponsored my petition into East Gate Lodge, and who made the gavel for me that we were using earlier. To the late Worshipful Brother Harry Collins, who appointed me into the line of East Gate as his Chaplain. To Worshipful Brother Larry Johnson who appointed me the Junior Steward and started me along the way. To Charlie Neff, to Tom Zahler, to Fred Cunningham. Fred and I were Secretary and Treasurer of East Gate Lodge together for 15 years, and he was actually treasurer for a number of years before that. Fred taught me a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As the money man, he always said take the money and run. And there were countless others. 154 Proceedings of the

Masonry has been a constant learning experience. I've expressed some of it in a short talk I wrote entitled "The benefits of being a Lodge officer". Maybe some of the brethren have read it or heard it in your Lodge's education programs. My Masonic experience is summed up in my theme for this year: Learn it, live it, share it. Note I do not include the preface Freemasonry. The theme is uni­ versal. It applies to every vocation, and avocation. First you learn it, the appren­ ticeship steps. The military, for example, calls it basic training. Doctors do resi­ dency, lawyers clerk, and tradesmen apprentice. To do something right and impor­ tant we must first learn that something. To succeed, we must live it. Our families, our religion, our nation, our community, schools, labor unions, wherever we fel­ lowship. To perpetuate it we must share it. Help others learn and grow; coach, don't dictate; council, don't preach; advise, don't rule. It also means stepping aside for others. Our program is a very simple one, back to basics, ritual, learn it; service to others, live it; tell a friend, share it. Now my friends, it's been an exhausting three days, your Grand Lodge Officers have to pack up and move, our next meeting is at 6:00 tonight and another one tomorrow morning. I want to thank the Past Master's Unit of Aladdin Shrine. They are one of the experiences in Masonry that I value equally with my Lodge. Would you stand again fellows? And the Brethren of my Lodge, would you please stand? Thank you. And thanks again to my daughter-in-law, Jennifer, for the pleas­ ing notes and harmonies. I'll be in the office in Worthington at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, and each Tuesday and Thursday thereafter for the next 51 weeks, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Come see me. Let's talk. Let me learn, let us share. But call ahead. Sometimes my pitching wedge gets in the way. And now, Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master, find your horse and saddle, 358 days and counting.
