The year comes to an end

Well, today in Atlantic City, my year as Grand Chaplain for the Grand Lodge of New Jersey came to an end.  I felt a little chocked up when shaking hands with my fellow 2010 staff members as we told each other how we enjoyed serving on staff together, and when I thanked MW Bro. Rival for the appointment.

As 3 is prominent number in Masonry, to be on Grand Staff was an honor in three ways:

1. It was an honor to serve the Grand Lodge of New Jersey and the brothers who compose it
2. It was an honor to serve with the other members of the staff
3. It was an honor to serve on the staff of MW Joseph H. Rival.

Now I will concentrate on my duties as the Masonic Services Association Representative at the Menlo Park Veterans Home and a sideliner at Fidelity and Mt Zion Lodges.  

What else will happen in my Masonic life, this past year will rank as one my most memorable.
