Tonight was one of those Masonic nights you remember for a long, long time. R∴W∴ Brother Patrick C. Carr, ADGM Area 3, presented a 50-year Emblem to Brother Billy J. Owens, the father of R∴W∴ Brother Dan Owens, one of the DDGMs in Area 3. We had been working with Russell Lodge No. 177 to get the emblem presented and Bro. Billy was going to be in the area and attending the stated communication of McPherson Lodge No. 172.

After the ceremony was finished, Bro. Billy talked about how surprised he was and how much receiving his emblem meant to him.

The ladies adjourned and we opened McPherson Masonic Lodge #172, AF&AM for our meeting. We elected a new candidate for the mysteries and Bro. Carr made a presentation about Albert Mackey’s 25 Landmarks.

Abbey Mosley and Adriane Hall Carr provided a wonderful meal and our Worshipful Master, Andrew Mosley, did a fantastic job. What a great evening. Thank you to the Owens family and Russell Lodge No. 177 for allowing us to present the emblem.
