Temple Installation May 2, 2016

Temple Lodge marks the beginning of Installation season and I had a great night watching the changing of the guard.  We have a new Master now at Temple but he is a familiar face to the District.  W Bro Gerry O'Neil is sitting for another year in the East.  Gerry was a travelling companion of mine back in 2011.
I wish the Brethren of Temple Lodge and W Bro O'Neil all the best in 2016-17.

Dave Riendeau Rising at Gore Bay Lodge 472

Dave Riendeau, myself and our wives trekked up to Manitoulin Island to Gore Bay Lodge 472 for Dave's being raised to the Sublime degree of a Master Mason.  Dave, who is originally from the Island, has family there and it was his Brother in Law W Bro  Aaron Wright, who sat in the East for this occasion along with a lodge of Past Masters.
We were treated like royalty while there and the Brethren went above and beyond, making us feel welcomed.
That evening we went to their Ladies Night/Mothers Day celebration and had a great time.
Thank you to all the Brethren and their Ladies but in particular Aaron and Apryl.

As expected, the installation at Edinburgh was conducted with crisp military precision as one would expect from this Lodge.  Shane Livingstone, the out-going Master served as Michel Ashman's Installing Master.  W Bro Ashman's Father and Brother made the journey from Woodstock Ontario for his  installation and were very proud to have been there.
Congratulations to the Edinburgh Degree Team and good luck in 2016-17
