When I came to Lodge tonight, I noticed a man who I've never seen before. As Senior Deacon, I went to examine this gentleman. I asked if anyone could vouch for him, he politely said "No", I then asked if I could see his current dues card. He was more than happy to show his Texas one, but he also had one from the Grand Lodge of Scotland (obviously with his accent he was). It was a neat looking document, and he proceeded to inform me that it allows him to attend Lodge in most countries. We briefly talked about the various differences and similarities but the main thing he had issue with was lack of alcohol..lol. He's visited Lodges all over, and was puzzled why the Americans do not have a bar. I guess it's common to have a drink before or after Lodge. Anywho it was a pleasure to meet him. Those Brothers in San Antonio might know him:
