Brothers,

As I sit here writing this masters message, I cannot help but remember those whom we have lost; Clark, Ron, Bob just to name a few. Loved, cherished, and remembered fondly.

As we continue on, there are new faces among us. Some we have come to know and others we have not even met yet. Before you know it or even realize it has happened, we will become the old faces, and then one by one we will fade into history. We have all heard the term "the Circle of Life." Truly, Life does run in circles. Even our beloved fraternity moves in a circle. The past is history; let us not forget our history. Tomorrow is our future, we can plan and prepare as best as possible but nothing is certain. The present is a gift, make the most of it, and enjoy it if you are blessed and able.

I know it is redundant to tell someone to look on the bright side while they are suffering a terrible tragedy. But, putting your arm around their shoulder, listening with love and giving helpful, affectionate advice is what Brothers do for each other.

I would love to see all our brothers live together in harmony.

Remembering and learning from our past.
Planning for a bright future.
Living and sharing in the gift of the present.

Fraternally and Sincerely,
W.M. Rick Mitchell
