 From the Grand Master:
Brothers and Sisters,
As many of you know, Pat and I had some health issues during the month of July. We would like to thank everyone for all the prayers, and cards received. We are both on the mend as Pat gets hydrated and her sodium under control and as I recover from my fall. Everyone’s concern was very much appreciated.

 From the Grand Master:
Brothers and Sisters,
During the month of June I had the privilege of attending the Grand Junior Lodge and Theta Rho Assembly Sessions held in Corsicana. I have to say that it was disheartening to find that only 6 boys and 11 girls were in attendance. I have to believe that in Texas we have the potential for growth within our youth program.

 From the Grand Master:
Brothers and Sisters,
It seems like the older I get, the faster the months go by. I had a trip of a lifetime the 7th of May. I was honored to travel to Arlington, Virginia to represent Texas in laying a wreath at the Tomb of The Unknowns. I also found one of our links is alive and well. Every time I had to walk up or down steps someone would put an arm out for me in Friendship to hold onto, and my fantastic President was walking behind me with arms out to catch me in case I fell. That would have been a sight to see.

 From the Grand Master:
April has come and gone. It was a very busy month. I attended our usual Executive Committee and W. & O. Homes Board meetings. I also attended the I.O.O.F. Picnic, my lodge, Abernathy #809, and two meetings at our new lodge, Abilene #325.
I am very proud of this new lodge. Brothers and sisters, they held a fundraiser and the proceeds went to the Cook’s Children Specialty Clinic in the amount of $1,000. This was their very first donation as the new Odd Fellows Lodge in their area.

This is my final letter to you as Grand Master. I want to thank all of the members for the courtesies and honor afforded to me. It has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience serving in this position. I know I didn’t get everything I wanted accomplished, but we did make progress this year.

 From the New Grand Master:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
By the time you read this, Christmas will have passed and we will be headed into another calendar year. I hope Santa brought you what you needed. I wish all of you a safe and prosperous New Year. Our Grand Lodge term has a few months left, and it will be over before we know it.
During the month of December, I attended the Executive Committee, Event Center, and General Arrangements meetings for the year. I never made it into the W. & O. Homes Grand Lodge Board meeting. I made official visits to Austin #23 and Granbury # 237 in December.
