Another reunion is in the books! If you were there, we were happy to have you. If you weren’t, you missed out. We started the day with a great breakfast (after a brief power outage). We witnessed the 14th and 16th degrees live. The area Job’s daughters exemplified the Robe lecture and the Living Cross beautifully. After lunch were the 26th and 32nd degrees live. Once we closed, Bro. Jim Foiles received his 50 year class gift, and we witnessed the Feast of the Paschal Lamb. Afterwards we adjourned to Montana Jack’s for a great dinner and fellowship.
