First of all, I wish to thank each and every brother who helped us perform the Master Mason degree at our inspection on January 21. RW Bro Savage announced we had a very good inspection before over 100 members. Brethren, we could never do it without you.

Next, I want to thank our trustees, WBro Stacoffe and Bro Wellman as well as Bro Monroe Bradley for helping get the lodge spiffed up. And special thanks the
brothers who helped with the dinner including WBros Rannebarger and Stacoffe and Bro Wellman.

Coming up are wild game night (my wife always wonders what kind of games), spaghetti dinner and breakfasts (covered in other articles). Keep up with things by coming to
lodge, or checking us out at http://www.mason340.com or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=38982280697&ref=ts.

I am saddened by the passing of two dedicated members of Reynoldsburg Lodge. Bro Dick Whittington
was an incredible supporter of the lodge, hosting the summer picnic with his lovely wife Rosalie for many
years at their home on Rodebaugh Rd. He was always an active member of the craft club and we served
many a plate of spaghetti together. He passed away in Alabama in January. Bro Gordon Greenman was a
founding member of the breakfast committee. He taught each of us how to make biscuits and how to not
over mix the pancake mix.

For years, he was there EVERY month at 5:30 until his illness made him unable to continue. He served
as Tyler for several years and always went above and beyond on every project. He passed away in
January. I am privileged to have known these two brothers and our lodge is richer because they were
here.

I haven’t heard from anyone concerning their ideas for the Sesquicentennial. We’ll get those meetings
started later in the spring. Call or email me with your ideas or to volunteer your help.

Interested in ritual? Perhaps becoming an officer? We have lots of degree work coming up. Let Bob,
John or I know you want to help. And if you need some help learning the coded parts, don’t hesitate to
ask. If you read my article, you might think that what makes a man a good mason is helping clean up or
raise funds for the lodge… or attending the meetings … or doing good ritual …or even reading every
word of the Trestleboard of the website. None of these things make a good mason. Want to know the
answer? Come talk to me about it at lodge or send me an email. Answer in the May Trestleboard.

Thanks
