Fifty and Seventy Year Awards
The November 7, 2018 stated communication was an open lodge event. It provided a special opportunity to see the presentation of a fifty-year award to Larry Wullbrandt of Weston Lodge #22. Larry’s wife Jane was in attendance for the presentation of his award.
A seventy-year award was presented to Bill Green of Casper Independence Rock #56. Three of our brothers from Wyoming including; Thomas Hamm Deputy Grand Master, Wyoming Guernsey Lodge #49; Bill Elmore Worshipful Master, Casper Independence Rock #56; and Weston Hubele Senior Warden, Casper Independence Rock #56 drove from Casper, Wyoming to Weston Lodge #22 for Bill Greens presentation.

MASTER'S MESSAGE
Masters note for November
“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it”
Brother Douglas Mac Arthur
With all election BS we go through anymore this statement seems truer than ever. My brothers Freemasonry at times seems to be the only voice of sanity I hear, the only organization for the betterment of all men not just a chosen few. As masons we may disagree, but we should not go into every discussion with predetermined ideals, but should listen to our brother’s opinions.
With brotherly love
Steve ODonnell
Worshipful Master
