19 New Members join the Herb M. Smith Reunion!
|
Our 2013 Herb M. Smith, 33° Memorial Reunion began this past Friday, March 8th with the work of the Lodge of Perfection and Chapter Rose Croix. The evening began with an outstanding pork loin dinner prepared by Dick Hudnall, 33° and his amazing "Kitchen Krew".
Following dinner was the opening of the reunion. One of the highlights of the opening was Ron Husted, 32° and his bagpipes. He piped in the Scottish Rite Officers and the members of the Advisory Conference escorted by the Knights of St. Andrew. Class Marshal, Greg Van Vark, 32° KCCH then introduced us to the 19 members of the class. Our opening consists of a new format and explanation of the Scottish Rite degrees prepared by our ritual directors, Brian Pappaducas, 33° and W. Charles Smithson, 32° KCCH. If you haven't seen it, come check it out. It is excellent. The work began with the 4th Degree, Secret Master and concluded Friday evening with the 8th Degree, Intendant of the Building. Saturday morning came quickly and the reunion started off a couple of minutes early with the 9th and 10th degree led by Degree Master, Craig L. Davis, 32° KCCH. Saturday was a busy day as we performed the 9th through the 18th degrees. Last fall we moved the location of the sound board to a new location in the balcony. This March, we moved the lighting control board to this location as well. Thanks to Mark Cook, 32°, Jeremy Phillips, 32° KCCH of the sound committee and Terry Hudik, 32° KCCH, Chairman of our lighting committee, for their effort in making this change. The table and platform was built by John Clearman, 33°, Greg Spooner, 32° KCCH and Bill Clark, 33°. It takes hundreds of members to put on a reunion. There were approximately 90 different Scottish Rite Masons doing ritual and over 25 members in the Double Eagle Chorus during the 1st weekend. In addition to the committees already mentioned, it takes stage crew, wardrobe, tylers, dining room committee, and the mail crew to make a reunion happen. Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 1st weekend reunion festivities. It was a great start to our 2013 year. See you on March 22nd for the 2nd weekend festivities.
