To All the Brethren of Harmony Lodge # 9<\/p>\n
The first time it really hit me that someday I may be elected Master of this Lodge, was 2 years ago, during the step-up night rehearsal when I moved from Senior Deacon to Junior Warden. As I sat in the J.W.’s chair, time stopped. The chair was uncomfortable, voices droned on in the background, and I saw an entirely different view of the Lodge. Then before I knew it, someone was standing in front of me, placing the J.W’s Jewels around my neck, saying something about \u201c….in just two short years …\u201d<\/p>\n
They were two short years indeed.<\/p>\n
I now stand at the end of one journey, and if so elected, at the beginning of another. If the Brethren see fit to elect me to the East, I will do my Best to preserve the Dignity, Integrity and Honor which has always been associated with Harmony Lodge #9. I am fortunate to have so many Past Masters I can count on for advice and support, and hope that even the newest members of our Lodge will feel comfortable enough that they can give me good counsel as well.<\/p>\n
And with that having been said, I leave you with something I told my class; we are not friends, we are Brothers. Friends come and go throughout our lives, but a Brother is someone you can count on to always be there for you. And while you can disagree and have a different opinion, at the end of day you are still Brothers.<\/p>\n
Let’s all remember that our Name is Harmony, and live up to that name because \u201cHarmony is the strength and support of all institutions, more especially, this of ours\u201d<\/p>\n
