Absolutely heartbreaking... my prayers are with you and yours.

Bob - allow me to add my welcome to those above. Make yourself at home.

Welcome! You stated that you were the "Jr." Past Master... what does that mean? I've never seen that term before.

Did anyone on the Forum attend this?

Three burning tapers. What are you guys doing that there would be a safety issue? :blink: lol.

I will have a Masonic and Military funeral. How will that work itself out? Not up to me... lol!

Not sure what 'up' and 'down' meant... I wear my ring with the open compass toward my hand. In fact, this is how we're 'directed' to wear it in the GL of NC.

I've noticed the designation "F.G.C.R." in their signature block. After a quick bit of Google-Fu, I discovered the GCR. Fellows of the GCR: What can you tell us about the GCR? It looks interesting, but (in true Masonic organization fashion) the website is a little... thin. Thanks.

Nope... not going to see that. No way. The damn trailer was almost too hard to watch...
