NECROLOGY SERVICE

The Grand Prelate, Roger Walls began with a welcome to the Necrology Service. That is an interesting

word, but let’s open with prayer.

Our Heavenly Father, we gather together to bid farewell to our comrades. We ask that your blessings be

upon us and that you strengthen us as we gather together in your name. We ask Father that you be with

us this evening, help us to remember those that have gone on before and help us to bless those families

that have sacrificed those loved ones. As we go into this service now, we ask that you open our hearts

and minds to be receptive to the words that we hear and grant us father the strength and the wisdom to

carry those words with us wherever we go that when people see us, they see you. In the name of your

Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen

I want to start with some scripture here, this is my show. As Mack says, this is my show. I chose the

scriptures as this is my favorite one. My favorite scripture, from the book of Isaiah, chapter 52 starting

at verse 7.

Here these words from our Father. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who bring

good tidings, that publish peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publish salvation; that saith

unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they

sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Break forth in to joy, sing

together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed

Jerusalem. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the

earth shall see the salvation of God.

And we see that salvation today. At this time the ladies are going to make a collection. The money goes

to the Holy Land Pilgrimage.

The Grand Prelate then asked for all to stand and sing the Doxology. Father, we live the abundant life

that you have given us and we thank you for the blessings you have given us at the top of every day. The

blessings of life that we so enjoy. The blessings of friendship and companionship that we enjoy when we

come together. The blessings of love that flows in those gatherings. We ask that you bless these gifts

and the givers and that they be used to further your Kingdom here on Earth. In the name of Jesus Christ

we pray. Amen

The audience was seated.

We are here to remember those guys, our Brothers, who have laid the path that we are on. Because

these Companions of ours that have gone on before us, they laid a path that we follow every day. And

we thank them for the efforts that they made for the –path that they cleared for us in our travels. God

has given us the strength to travel. God has given us the strength to follow those guys wherever they

lead us and the wisdom that comes from his word. Thank God for his word.

I want to share a story with you. This is a true story, my son graduated from Chapman High School in

1998. And every year that he was in high school they used to have Superbowl Sunday and the boys

would come over to the house and we would have sandwiches and they would go out and play football

in the afternoon and come in and watch the football game. One day the boys came back into the house

and they are sitting there watching tv and one of the boys was sitting in my chair. He reaches over and

picks up my cypher. He says, “What is this?” And my son says, oh that’s my dad’s, he’s a Mason and the

boys said what do the Masons do?” My son says “they sit around and go …..” And every Mason knows

exactly what’s it’s all about. Because we do take the Word, don’t we? We do take the Word and we take

that Word into our hearts and we study it. We study it because we want to make the next man better.

We take the knowledge that we gain from those syphers and monitors and we take that knowledge and

we pass it on to the next generation. That’s the joy of being a Mason. Seeing that next generation

develop before your eyes. I’m going to share a story and you can thank Fred for this story, it’s a

beautiful story. You can thank Fred for this story. He tried t0 give4 it three times at Grand Lodge and we

never got it done.

This guy walks onto this construction site and these Masons are there and they had the bricks together.

They walked over to one of the guys and said, “What are you doing?” And the worker replied, Oh ok well

go on you are doing a good job. He walks around the corner and sees a guy doing the same thing on

that wall that the other guy was doing so he asks “what are you doing?” and he responds, I’m buildi9ng

a wall. Good, you are doing a god job, go on. He walks around the corner again to the back side and

sees this guy doing the same thing so he asks him “what are you doing?” He says I am building a temple.

Three guys doing the same thing but all three guys looked at their mission differently. O(ne guy was just

paying blocks, one is building a wall, and one guy is building a temple. But they all are laying bricks.

Brothers, that’s the challenge that is before you today. Lay bricks so that the next generation can have

something to build on. Build a wall so that the next generation has something to build on and when you

have done that and you sit around and someone sees you in your chair going, remember, I am building

Masons. I am taking a man and making him better. That’s a message and that is just what God wants us

to do. That’s what God told Isaiah to do. Everybody look down at your feet and see the beauty of Gods

mission for you. You all have beautiful feet because you are studying the word of God. In the name of

the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

At this time Lyn will do a special song. Lyn asked everyone to be in the attitude of prayer . He sang the

Lord’s Prayer.

The Grand Prelate then dismissed the audience.

Grand High Priest Report

Companions and honored guests, it is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the OneHundred Forty Seventh Annual Convocation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons ofKansas. I trust we will have a productive and meaningful session. My report was not listed inthe Advanced Proceedings due to the unforeseen trials and tribulations that have taken place inmy life during the past year.

I have not been able to attend all the meetings and sessions that I wanted to this year due towork and health restraints. I was able to represent Kansas Royal Arch Masons at the Sixty-Eighth Triennial Conference in South Carolina and the South West South Central Departmentconference in Dallas. I attended the Rainbow Girls Grand Assembly in Wichita and attendedseveral inspections around the state. I also accompanied the delegation from Kansas on theAnnual Cryptic Deposit Inspection on Pikes Peak, Colorado.

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my Masonic Father, Claude L.Carpenter, for appointing me to the progressive line during his year as M:. E:. Grand HighPriest. I can only hope that I have been able to justify his faith in me. I would also like to thankmy Officers and District Deputy Grand High Priests, without which very little would have beenaccomplished this year. I appreciate the honor and trust that my Masonic brothers have givenme during this year, and sincerely hope that I have helped make Kansas Masonry better duringmy term as Grand High Priest.

Respectfully submitted

Michael E. BennettM:. E:. Grand High Priest2012-2013

The Grand High Priest then moved for acceptance of this report. The motion was seconded andcarried.

Grand Secretary’s Report

Again the full report is in the Advanced Proceedings.

To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Grand Officers and Companions of the Grand Chapterof Royal Arch Masons of Kansas:

The Annual Report of transactions of the Office of Grand Secretary for the fiscal year endingFebruary 28, 2013, is submitted for your consideration and approval.

The number of active chartered Chapters listed is now 32. But there are two Chapters who havenot reported for several years and need the attention of the Grand High Priest and the Councilof Administration; Troy Chapter No.16, Troy, and Ellsworth Chapter No.54, Ellsworth. TheseChapters have not responded to notices, letters, or telephone calls. The leadership need totake hold and not leave it to the York Rite office. El Dorado Chapter No. 35 merged with

Wichita Chapter No.33 and Garden City Chapter No, 83 merged with Liberal Chapter No. 65 thislast year. These mergers with others in the past few years show that suspensions for non-payment of dues and demits in annual reports show huge losses of membership. Sometimesthe loss is as large as 70% of the original membership of those merging. This is a sorry stateof affairs. On the other side, I congratulate Leavenworth Chapter No.2 for not only bringingtheir reports up to date, but the enthusiastic activity in their Chapter. A second Chapter to becongratulated is Hiram Chapter No.30, Girard. They showed a gain of 25% in membership lastyear. Yes they are a small Chapter, but why do we not see a gain in membership in the otherChapters? Keep up the good work.

I wish to thank those Secretaries that filed their Annual Reports on time and sent their ActivityReports in a timely manner. The information received on Activity Reports makes the AnnualReports not only more accurate, but easier for the local Secretaries. No Activity Reports manytimes creates a stress for me, especially when I find officers reported and I have no record ofthem being a member. To the Secretaries who were late, incomplete, or do not giveaccurate information, I sincerely believe all of you will do better next year. Theinformation recorded in this office is only as accurate as the information received. Incompleteand inaccurate information costs the membership thousands of dollars. I have made theAnnual Report even simpler, but some do not attempt to complete the report or followinstructions. To those new Secretaries this year, my congratulations and I pledge to help youand all those who have been in retained in office to best of my ability. I am willing to met theSecretaries at the office if arrangements are made in advance. Requiring the local Secretariesto make their own copies of their Annual Reports for their records has cut the mailing cost.

Those Secretaries with small errors and perfect reports I would like to thank them for theirexcellent efforts. To those who do not report or seem to not know how to report, Please makearrangement to met with me to solve this issue. I am sure we can work out a solution. Theseerrors and non reporting have cost us income. It is impossible to prepare a honestbudget with this type of information or should I say the lack of information. Annual Reportsare due in the office in January not February or March. If there is a good reason for thereport being delayed, PLEASE contact the office. The Secretaries who refuse to cooperate, Iask you to put aside any personal differences and work for the betterment of Masonry. If wewere to do as Grand Lodge with those who do not report, no member of a Chapter whosereport is not filed would be able to attend the Grand Chapter session.

I would like all members to use the petitions on the web-site. The information on the oldpetitions do not cover everything we need. PLEASE report all the information. I haveattempted to have a schedule of events on the web also. This is to keep from having a conflictwith events. If you will get your information to the office, I will add it as soon as possible.

I would like to thank Most Excellent Ed Freeman, Grand Treasurer for all the financial help andMost Excellent David Snyder of the Jurisprudence Committee for legal advice and to both fortheir help, promptness in answering questions, and their patience with me.

The membership and financial report portion of this report can be found in the AdvancedProceedings. The budget this year has been extremely tight as it has the past few years. Partof this is due to the financial condition that all of us are experiencing. I found it necessary topurchase several items for the office personally that had not been budgeted including theupdate of the database and a new hard drive.

It was obvious at the beginning when I took office that it would be necessary to do many tasksfrom my office at home. Now I am in the office in Topeka at least one full day a week. Icontinue to spend 20 to 25 hours a week working at home. I sincerely hope everyone realizesthat it is one hundred miles round trip to the office and it also takes two hours of travel timethat could be used at home doing the office work. Thanks to the office cell phone I am able toanswer questions, answer important calls immediately, receive e-mails and reply if necessary. Iapologize for those times the requests have slipped through the cracks. I will endeavor to dobetter if re-elected. This usage seems to be increasing and many times I am not even at homewhen it is necessary to reply. It is not always possible to answer all questions.

Again, my thanks to Cindy for all of her help in the office. Her patience with me is noted andappreciated. Working with checks and balances on each other’s work and a good sense ofhumor, we have gotten over some extremely stressed issues and deadlines. It is not necessaryfor the office to have a full time person. Even when there is no one in the office the telephoneis forwarded to a cell phone. I usually can answer it, even in the evenings. Sometimes it is notconvenient.

I wish to express my appreciation to my wife, Alice. She has been supported me these manyyears. I know she does not always like the hours I spend in the office at home and manyinterruptions of receiving telephone calls at meals and other times we are busy with family andchurch activities.

Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Mike, I thank you for the privilege of serving you and thisGrand Chapter. It has been an honor and experience.

Respectfully submitted,Wayne H. RollfGrand Secretary

Election of OfficersTellers were John Staton, Byron Alger and Maverick Bolen. They passed out ballots and pencilsfor the election. Grand Secretary Wayne Rollf said you will notice at the bottom of the ballot,has a line across it. Tear the bottom off. This ballot is self explanatory but if you have anyquestions, please be sure and ask. While you are filling out your ballot I want to take a littletime recognizing heads of appendant bodies who are attached to our York Rite. Knights of YorkCross of Honor, the head this year is Claude Carpenter. Order of High Priesthood President isAllan Jackson. Order of Silver Trowel is Very Illustrious Master, Allan Jackson. PastCommander’s Association, President is T. Michael Fegan. York Rite College, Governor is EldonLeitzel. Red Cross of Constantine I know there are several across the state and I am sorry I donot know some of them. In Newton, Wayne White; Kansas City is Don Davidson. Pittsburg isRodney Middleton. I believe that is all the other presiding officers in the state.

Well while we are waiting for the tellers to tally the votes, I noticed this is slightly out of orderjust like yesterday. Charles Stuckey is here as Past Grand High Priest of Oklahoma. We wouldlike to hear from him at this time.

M:. E:. Stuckey thanked for all the hospitality here in Kansas. He was in Kansas in 1976 so ithas been some time. Kansas and Oklahoma have officers sitting at different places than we doin Oklahoma. Also some signs are different. However the teachings are all the same. Againthank you for every courtesy extended to me and hope to see you in Oklahoma.

There was a report to the Grand High Priest that the tellers were seeking admission. They wereadmitted with the following report:

There were 45 total votes and 45 votes for Dennis Johnson for Grand King and 44 for FredLockard for Grand Scribe and 45 for Ed Freeman for Grand Treasurer and 44 votes for WayneRollf for Grand Secretary.

M:.E:. Mike Bennett thanked the tellers and dismissed them from their duties.

M:. E:. Mike stated that Companion Dennis Johnson had been elected as Grand High Priest toserve one year as Grand King for the incoming year. He did accept.

M:. E:. Mike then asked Companion Fred Lockard if he would accept the election as GrandScribe. He did accept.

M:. E:. Mike asked Companion Ed Freeman if he would accept Treasurer for another year. Hedid accept.

M:. E:. Mike asked if Companion Wayne Rollf would accept the position as Grand Secretaryagain to which he did accept.

Companion David Snyder, chairman of Jurisprudence stated that Companion Johnson wasactually elected as Grand High Priest and would first serve one year as Grand King then go onto Grand High Priest.

Remarks from Dignitaries

Peter DuMont was asked to speak. He is serving the state of Colorado as Most Excellent GrandHigh Priest. He has enjoyed making numerous friends this week and thanked all for theirassistance.

Carl Jackson, General Grand Ambassador to Louisiana, General Grand Chapter International andPast Grand High Priest of Louisiana. Carl enjoyed the differences in the work even though it isall the same but different. We are doing Annual Session in two days. It is not advisable.However back to where we are. I really feel the love extended to everyone in this meeting.Masonry is love, relief and truth. It is always good to know that wherever you are, you are withfamily. I think you for all the courtesies you have extended to me. I will be back to see you allagain and until then good bye.

C. David Williams, III, General Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons International, Ambassador toKansas. David, would bring some remarks. About a month and a half ago I was at the GrandMasters Conference for North America in Kansas City. I was walking down and the hall, then Isee Ted Harrison walking towards me. He is from New York and he asked how I was and bythe way, I need you to represent me at Kansas Grand Chapter. I said ok. Then I receive anemail stating he told the General Grand Secretary that I would represent him. Then I gotanother email asking why I didn’t answer the other emails. I wrote back and said I wouldrepresent him. Then he sent me a list of what he wanted me to talk about.

At least it’s a short list. On behalf of Edmund Harrison (Ted) Most Excellent General Grand HighPriest of the General Grand Chapter International and the other officers, I bring you greetingsand hope all is going well. There has begun a “40 and under” club which is for Masons whoalso belong to York Rite that are under 40 years of age. The purpose of this club is to see whatGrand Chapter needs to do to get and keep younger members. I have the information with meif you are interested. It includes leadership and training. Last night you saw a presentation ofthe Sweetheart Award. This is available to anybody that wants to. It’s $100. There is anapplication. It would be nice to give out three or four of these each year.

There is the ritual jewel of the General Grand Chapter now. I have a small picture of it. Thescoreboard is two pages long. You have to do Right Worshipful Master, Mark Master twice and aPast Master twice and a Most Excellent Master twice. The High Priest in the Royal Arch, twice;Principle Sojourner in Royal Arch twice, the lecture of the Mark Master degree twice; lecture ofthe Most Excellent Master Degree twice, the lecture of the Royal Arch twice, Senior Deacon,Mark Master and Senior Warden, Most Excellent Master and Haggai in the Royal Arch Degreetwice. There is a scorecard there and you get points for each position. If you get enoughpoints you get the medal. Right now in Kansas David Snyder and Chris Tomlinson have beenthe only ones close to getting this.

There is a new internet newsletter “The Royal Arch International News”. All it takes is to clickon the website and fill out the form with your email address and they will send it to you aboutevery month.

I did not want to step on Claude’s toes but his report is in the Advanced Proceedings it talksabout Royal Arch Research Assistance which we call it RARA. I called the General Grand

Secretary, Larry Grey the other day and asked him for some information so I would have it. Inthe past year, $247 contributed to RARA from Kansas. There was one of the donations in 2012and three so far in 2013. From 2005 until today, Kansas has donated $7,876 to RARA. RARA istrying to work with central auditory processing disorder. The situation where they hearsomething but do not process it correctly. Found in children more than adults. David talkedabout CAPD (central auditory processing disorder) He wants to challenge the current session ofGrand Chapter. He is putting $100 for RARA. We picked up $120 the other night so we are onour way. Can we at least at this session get the total from $220 to $247 or higher?

There is another program called the “Emerging leaders program” Those who can go on to theirlocal chapters, councils or commandery and learn leadership to move on to the Grand level sowe have leaders that know how to lead.

David asked if you have any questions, please let me know and I will pass the information on toGeneral Grand Chapter.

Thank you for letting me speak about this.

M:. E:. Bennett asked for the Jurisprudence Committee to discuss the legislation that wasbefore the Grand Chapter.

Jurisprudence Report

David Snyder approached the microphone and stated that jurisprudence does not have anythingto report as they did not receive the report except here in the meeting. I would say to theGrand High Priest that it would be well to visit a local chapter and have someone go throughthe signs with you and explain those signs to you.

The changes that were proposed the Constitution change for the Grand Chapter is to Article IIentitled Grand Chapter Officers and Committees under Section 3 – Eligibility.

The Constitution of the M:. E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas currently reads:

Article IIGRAND CHAPTER - OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES

Sec. 3. ELIGIBILITY - No Royal Arch Mason shall be eligible to any office in the Grand Chapter,except that of the Grand Treasurer, Grand Secretary, Grand Chaplain, Grand Lecturer, or GrandSentinel, who shall not have been elected and installed High Priest of a Chapter in this GrandJurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive shall be actual residents within this Stateduring the entire term of his office. (1998)

Proposed to read:

Sec. 3. ELIGIBILITY - Any Royal Arch Mason residing in this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible tothe office of Grand High Priest, Grand King, or Grand Scribe who has previously been electedand installed as High Priest in this Grand Jurisdiction. Any Royal Arch Mason residing in thisGrand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the progressive line of officers who is a current dais officerof a Chapter in this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive shall bemembers of a Chapter of this Grand Jurisdiction and actual residents within this State duringthe entire term of his office. (2013)

REASON FOR CHANGE: To make more members eligible for a Grand Office due to thedeclining membership and to encourage the general membership to be active in their localRoyal Arch Chapters of Masonry and attend Grand Sessions.

FRATERNAL RELATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE

As the "Age of Technology” continues to change, so does the method of communication. WebSites and email have become the norm. Texting and facebook are now old news. The newtechnology does have some drawbacks. One of the biggest concerns is security. The moreinformation available to the public can cause many and serious problems. We must constantlybe aware of these problems and be on guard at all times.

Communications with other jurisdictions and other Masonic organizations in Kansas is beingdone more and more by email because of the speed of delivery and cost. Replies can be sentimmediately saving days. The printing of e-mails or the electronic filling of e-mails can give uspermanent records. Texting and facebook may be satisfactory to some, but they also in mostcases lack quality and character. Poor spelling, incomplete sentences, and a lack of self prideseems to the norm with is type of correspondence.

The use of the telephone is still a reliable way of communication. Most of us like to hear a realvoice and especially when it is someone we know. This somehow gives us a felling ofreassurance and confidence. Talking to a machine and automated answering system isimpersonal, time consuming and many times frustrating.

As the cost of video conferencing declines, we will see more of this usage for discussions. Oneadvantage over the use of telephone is that you can see the person or persons of which you arein conversation. It is almost like being the same room.

To keep and have success with “Fraternal Relations” we must constantly be aware of activitieswhich affect our well being, including those of others. The old saying “the lack ofcommunication is the downfall of any relationship” is especially true for Masonry. If Masonry isto flourish, all the bodies of Masonry must work together in harmony. This is true withFraternal Relations. To meet this challenge and help with this success we need to havecommunication and more importantly, open communication. There is no room for arroganceand selfishness. God created us equal and we are taught in Masonry to meet on the level, actby the plumb, and part on the square. The basis for Masonry begins with the Masonic Lodge orsometimes known as the Blue Lodge. Beyond Masonic Lodge no other Masonic organization ismore important than any other. Yes we are all equal. Then let us abide by the lessons we aretaught to make “Fraternal Relations” be strong.

Most Excellent Grand High Priest, this committee wishes to express our thanks to you for beingable to serve this Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons.

Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Grand East and Companions all,

The Committee on Royal Arch Research Assistance wishes to report that as of this date weknow of two Chapters who have made the recommended contributions to our Philanthropy.They are Olathe #10 and Reno #34.

Others may have contributed directly that I am not aware of. I know that many of ourChapters are struggling financially and it is hard if not impossible for them to contribute a dollarper member but any amount helps. It is a known fact that it is very hard for any fraternalorganization to operate on their “dues” alone.

It is much easier if they have some outside money to help out. I would suggest a fund raiserof some sort but I think it is unfair not to include all members of the Chapter. Get your Ladiesto help, they are waiting in the wings just waiting to be ask to help.

I am a very lazy person and not a good writer so will not go over all the good things that ishappening with RARA, but look in your Royal Arch Magazine for a complete update on whereyour money goes and what is being accomplished through our meager contributions.

The committee wishes to thank you for allowing us to serve the Grand Chapter in this capacity.

Respectfully submitted,

Claude L. Carpenter, Chairman

M:. E:. Grand High Priest stated that if a report was due to the office and you have it, pleaseget it in by the end of this month. Wayne stated that there were numbers in the AdvanceProceedings that the Annual Proceedings will not have. There will be some dollar amounts andstated that the Annual Proceedings go out as public records. Therefore, to keep things moresecure, we removed all bank account numbers and totals. People can go digging into thisinformation and we don’t want any more problems with identity loss. We don’t need it in ourGrand York Rite anywhere.

The Most Excellent Grand High Priest called upon the Grand High Priest elect to make anyannouncements he wanted to say. The Grand High Priest elect stated that his Grand Side thisnext year will be Carrol Roberts, my lady is not here so I can say this, so Carrol’s lady will behelping my lady this next year. Wayne Price then read his appointments. Wayne’sappointment to the progressive line will be Thomas Jacks.

The installation will be at 1:15 with pictures at 12:45. Please leave your collar, apron and namebadge on your chair.

The bronze award was not mentioned last night but the bronze medal this year goes to RobertL. Tomlinson, Jr. Please congratulate him.

53 Knight Masons. He was appointed as Grand Standard Bearer by Sir Knight Don Kelly, R:. E:. Grand Commander of the

Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kansas in 2001. This started his progression through the Grand Commandery

line serving in the position of Grand Commander in 2007. In 2008, M:. I:. Allan D. Jackson appointed him as Grand

Conductor of the Council of the Grand Council of Kansas. This provided the opportunity to progress through the Grand

Council Line to become M:. I:. Grand Master in 2012.

He was appointed Grand Senior Deacon by M:. W:. E. Dean Osborn in 1994 and served as M:. W:. Grand Master of

Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas in 1998. Along with his other Masonic affiliations, Mike is a member of

PUBLIC OPENING FOR GRAND COUNCIL OF CRYPTIC MASONS OF KANSAS

The Most Illustrious Grand Master, T. Michael Fegan welcomed everyone, I want to take this opportunity to

welcome everybody on this, the grand session of the Grand Council of Kansas 2013.

I want to welcome everybody to the 146th Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas. I particularly want to

thank all the ladies for supporting the Grand Council.

We will have an opening prayer by our Grand Chaplain. After the prayer we joined in the Pledge of Allegiance

to the Flag.

M:. I:. Fegan asked the Grand Marshal to present the Past Grand Masters for introduction. They were: Don E.

2008; Thomas A. Jacks, 2009; C. David Williams, III, 2010. The M:. I:. Grand Master asked for public grand

honors and a hearty welcome. They were seated in the room.

The Grand Marshal then presented Carl. L. Jackson, Right Illustrious Grand Master of Louisiana. The

companions gave him a hearty welcome.

The Grand Marshal presented C. David Williams, III, member of Jurisprudence Committee of the General

Grand Council Cryptic Masons International and Allan Jackson, Ambassador in Kansas for the General Grand

Council of Cryptic Masons International. They were both given a hearty welcome.

The Grand Marshal presented the Representative of the General Grand Council International who was

presented in the East. He is Charles L. Stuckey, Regional Deputy General Grand Master, Cryptic Masons

International and Past Most Illustrious Grand Master for Oklahoma. All gave Companion Stuckey a hearty

welcome. He was seated in the East.

At this time M:. I:. Fegan asked Companion Stuckey to give a few comments while the ladies were present.

He spoke about the Cryptic Masons Medical Research.

M:. I:. Fegan said that since the dignitaries he asked the Deputy Grand Master to give a few instructions on his

installation.

M:. I:. Fegan stated that this concludes the public opening and dismissed the ladies stating the closed session

would start in 10 minutes.

This concludes the roll call of officers.

The M:. I:. Grand Master then gave his address. My address is printed in the Advanced Proceedings. I am

sure all of you can read as well as I can so I will not read the entire report but I want to highlight a few

things.

I want to take this opportunity again to welcome everybody here for the 146th Annual Assembly of Grand

Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas. Again it is an honor to have you here and that you are enjoying your stay

here. If for any reason you are unhappy about anything is not going well for you I want to tell Mike Bicknell

and if everything is going well you can tell me.

We started off the year with our York Rite Reception in Newton which was well attended and enjoyed the time

together. I appreciate everyone’s efforts and the attendance of officers and members was greatly

appreciated.

The Grand Council did as we traditionally do, participated in the Great Plains Rendezvous this year. We went

to Sterling, Colorado. It was a breezy time going out there and coming back. Kind of warm and windy but I

appreciate the Companions that went out there and helped put on the work. I was extremely happy with the

quality of work all of you did. Next year we will be doing the Royal Master’s Degree in Wyoming.

Page 14 of 69

We did support the youth organizations again. I was not able to attend these sessions personally but we had

representatives there from Grand Council. We had the annual inspection of the deposit out at Pikes Peak.

Again I want to thank those who attended this year. We had a little different format than in the past. We

were at the Silver Saddle Hotel for our headquarters and had our hospitality room there and on Saturday night

before we went on the Peak we had dinner at the Stage Coach Inn. That seemed to work out very well. At

8:30 on Sunday morning we all assembled at the foot of Pikes Peak and the majority of us took the rail car up

to the top of the peak. There were a few brave souls who chose to go up by motor car and I am pleased to

report to you that they did make it safely to the summit and back to the foot of the mountain.

We did participate in the 55th Annual Southwest Regional and South Central Department meeting which was

held in Texas on September 14-15. Here again Kansas was very well represented and we will have

information for you later as this year it will be in Little Rock Arkansas in September.

I also want to take this opportunity to give a very special thanks to Most Illustrious Allan Jackson for

appointing me to the advancing line and providing me the opportunity to serve the Grand Council. Also I want

to thank him for making himself available to serve as our Grand Recorder which gave me the opportunity to

appoint Wayne Rollf as my appointment to the line.

With that I would like to again thank everyone who helped me this year.

Respectfully,

T. Michael Fegan

Most Illustrious Grand Master

I move for the acceptance of this report. It was properly seconded and voted on.

GRAND RECORDERS REPORT

To the Most Illustrious Grand Master, Grand Officers and Companions of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons

of Kansas:

The Annual Report of transactions of the Office of Grand Recorder for the fiscal year ending February 28,

2013, is submitted for your consideration and approval. The following pages contain the information for the

2012-2013 year.

The number of active chartered Councils is 18. This last year we lost El Dorado Council No.20, El Dorado.

Indeed a loss to Masonry. These mergers with others in the past few years show that suspensions for non-

payment of dues and demits in annual reports show huge losses of membership. Sometimes the loss is as

large as 60% of the original membership of those merging.

Thanks to Cindy for all her help in the office. The York Rite Office could not have functioned without her.

Most Illustrious Grand Master, T. Mike, I thank you for the privilege of serving you and this Grand Council.

Respectfully submitted,

M:.E:. Allan D. Jackson, PGIM

Page 18 of 69

GRAND TREASURER’S REPORT

Companion Ed Freeman gave the Treasurers Report. The entire report is listed in the Advanced Proceedings.

He stated that he would do the Grand York Rite report first. The report of Grand York Rite is listed in the

Page 19 of 69

Advanced Proceedings. I might mention that the Bank has changed the rules. I had several small checking

accounts in all the different bodies and the bank decided to start charging $10 per month for any checking

account that averages less than $5,000 in any month so I have closed most of the small accounts and put

them into the larger accounts. I don’t know if there was any in the Grand York Rite itself, but if there was, the

amounts in those small accounts are now included in the main checking account for each body.

There are notations in each stating what amounts are with which accounts. Other than that, I move that the

report for the Grand York Rite be adopted as printed in the Advanced Proceedings. M:. I:. Mike then received

a second for the motion and the motion passed by the Companions.

Ed then continued with the Grand Council report. As for the Grand Council, I would like to move the adoption

of the Grand Council’s report as printed in the Advanced Proceedings. This motion was also properly seconded

and was passed by the Companions.

Ed then thanked the Illustrious Grand Master for allowing him to serve another year.

Respectfully submitted,

Edward L. Freeman, Grand Treasurer

Finance Committee Report

M:. I:. Mike asked Allan for the current budget information. The Grand York Rite budget is first and the

amounts in these line items is dictated to us by by-laws so there is very little we can change. I would like to

mention that about 2/3 of the way down the list it lists Copier Replacement. The one we had was giving us

fits and was not able to be repaired. We are not budgeting an amount to put back so 5 years or so down the

road and we have to replace something again, we have the money put back for it. Other than that, rest of the

budget for York Rite is in front of you. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Hearing none, I move

for the acceptance of this report as listed in the Advanced Proceedings. The motion was properly seconded

and voted on. It was passed by the Companions.

Moving on to the budget for Grand Council. It is again much like the Grand York Rite. It is basically done by

by-laws. I don’t see anything that is out of the ordinary. I want to mention on the income side, we did move

most of the Stifel Nicholas account to an annuity a lot like the Jackson National. We are guaranteed for each

year of not going below a certain amount. Again if anyone has a question, please ask. Ok with no questions,

I move for the acceptance of the Grand Council Budget as listed in the Advanced Proceedings. This motion

was properly seconded and it was passed by all present.

M:. I:. Grand Master I thank you for serving as finance chairman for another year.

Respectfully submitted,

Allan Jackson, Chairman

Jurisprudence Report

Companion David Snyder approached the microphone for the Jurisprudence Report which follows: Most

Illustrious Grand Master, the jurisprudence committee wishes to congratulate you on a most successful year as

Most Illustrious Grand Master. Even though you were unable to attend all of the youth organizations, you saw

to it that the Grand Council was well represented.

The Cryptic Deposit seems to be well attended and the deposit was determined to be in good shape. Your

appointment of officers had one officer which required him to be a past Illustrious Master who at that time

was not eligible to that office but has since been installed into that office so it seems that situation took care

of itself. The committee wishes to thank you for this appointment giving us the opportunity to be of service to

the Craft. I move that this portion of the report be approved. The motion was properly seconded, voted on

and passed.

The remainder of the report deals with the proposed changes to the Constitution and By Laws. Chairman

David Snyder reminded everyone that a Constitution and By Law change requires a two thirds vote for it to

pass.

Page 21 of 69

The Constitution of the M:. I:. Grand Council of Cryptic Mason of Kansas currently reads:

of Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, or Grand Principal Conductor of the Work who has previously been

elected and installed as Master of a Council in this Grand Jurisdiction. Any Cryptic Mason residing in this

Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the progressive line of officers who is a current dais officer of a Council in

this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive, shall be members of this Grand Jurisdiction

and actual residents within this State during the entire term of his office. (2013)

REASON FOR CHANGE: To make more members eligible for a Grand Office due to the

declining membership and to encourage the general membership

to be active in their local Cryptic Councils of Masonry and attend

Grand Sessions.

Submitted by:

Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11

Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8

David made a motion to approve this change. The motion was properly seconded. There was one question as

to who is considered a member in the grand jurisdiction. Membership of Grand Council shall consist of the

Past Masters, Masters, Deputy Masters and Principle Conductor of the Work for the Council. The Past and

Present elected and present appointive grand officers through their representative through proxy of the

present Master, Deputy Master and Principle Conductor of the Work of the Council provided however, that said

proxy can be given only to the Master, Deputy Master or Principle Conductor of the Work and of that Council

or a Past Master who has served said Council as Master.

Allan Jackson then stood and asked for this motion to be amended to read “All officers, both elective and

appointive, shall be members of a Council of this Grand Jurisdiction and actual residents within this State

during the entire term of his office. (2013)”

This amendment was seconded and voted on. It passed with more than the 2/3 vote needed. That being

done, the proposed change to the bylaw as amended was properly seconded and passed with a larger 2/3

Page 22 of 69

voting for this change.

The next proposed by law change is as follows:

The By-laws of the M:. I:. Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas currently reads:

CHAPTER ONE

ARTICLE III

PER CAPITA DUES–ALLOWANCES–FINANCES

1-302a. ALLOWANCES – An annual allowance shall be paid from the General Fund: to the Grand Master,

$200.00; Deputy Grand Master $200.00 Grand Treasurer, $100.00; Official Stenographer at the Annual

Assembly, $50.00. The foregoing allowances to be paid when the duties have been completed. To the Grand

Recorder an amount to be determined by the combined Grand York Rite Committee on Finance and Property,

and to be paid semi-monthly, through the Grand York Rite Budget. (2004)

Proposed to read:

1-302a. ALLOWANCES – An annual allowance shall be paid from the General Fund: to the Grand Treasurer,

$100.00. The foregoing allowance to be paid when the duties have been completed. (2013)

REASON FOR CHANGE: To reduce expenses in the budget. The section on the Grand

Recorder is a duplication of ”1-302. SALARIES-“needs to be deleted.

Submitted by:

Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11

Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8

There was a motion to approve this proposal. It was properly seconded and the M:. I:. Mike asked if there

was any discussion. Hearing none the vote was taken and there was more than the needed 2/3 with a

positive vote.

The By-laws of the M∴I∴Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas currently reads:

CHAPTER ONE

ARTICLE III

PER CAPITA DUES–ALLOWANCES–FINANCES

1-308. CONTINGENT FUND–At each Annual Assembly the Grand Council shall set apart and appropriate the

sum of $1,500.00 as a Contingent Fund for the Grand Master; and also to be used by him for paying expenses

of visitations, Grand Officers attending funerals, meeting of the Council of Administration, and paying the

expenses of any companion incurred under the direction of the Grand Master. This sum payable as

Page 23 of 69

reimbursement for the mentioned expenses incurred as Grand Master upon receipt of a list of said

expenditures. (1995)

Proposed to read:

1-308. CONTINGENT FUND–At each Annual Assembly the Grand Council shall set apart and appropriate the

sum of $1,500.00 as a Contingent Fund for the Grand Master, to be used by him for paying expenses incurred

in the performance of his office. This sum payable as reimbursement for the mentioned expenses incurred as

Grand Master upon receipt of receipts of said expenditures. Expenses to be incurred from the time of the

Grand Illustrious Master’s installation to February 15th the following year. This list is to be received for payment

not later than February 16th each year at the Grand Recorder’s office. (2013)

REASON FOR CHANGE: To keep the expenses occurred within the budget for the

presiding Grand Illustrious Master. All accounting books close February 28 each year.

Submitted by:

Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11

Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8

Companion David then made a motion to accept this change to the By-laws. It was properly seconded and

the M:. I:. Grand Master asked if there were any questions. Just as a clarification in wording a proposal was

made to amend this proposal and take “Illustrious” out of the third line from the bottom. Everywhere else it

was referred to as Grand Master except this one spot and it was referred to as Grand Illustrious Master. I

think by doing that, it keeps the wordage cleaner.

M:. I:. Mike repeated the proposal, it was properly seconded. The vote was taken and the proper number of

votes were cast.

Now back to the original motion as amended, was seconded and received more than the 2/3 required vote.

M:. I:. Grand Master, this completes the remainder of the Jurisprudence Committee for this year. I move that

the entire Jurisprudence Report be accepted in its entirety. M:. I:. Mike had a second to this motion and it

also passed by everyone attending. I thank you for letting me stay as chairman another year.

Respectfully submitted,

David F. Snyder, chairman

Claude L. Carpenter

Acceptance of remaining reports

The motion was made and properly seconded to accept the remaining reports as printed in the Advanced

REPORTS OF GRAND OFFICERS

M:. I:. Grand Master,

Your committee on Reports of Grand Officers has been carefully read with a great amount of interest the

address of the Most Illustrious Grand Master of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons. You are to be

complimented for the enthusiastic leadership and considerable amount of visitation to lodges and York Rite

Bodies.

You have attended many award presentation nights. We commend you and the Kansas Cryptic Masons for

your participation in the High Plains Rendezvous in Sterling, Colorado with Kansas doing the Select Masters

Degree.

The annual inspection of the Cryptic Deposit on Pikes Peak went well with 27 companions from Kansas, The

Grand Master and three others from Colorado participating. You stated that the deposit was secure and the

plate was in place.

Most Illustrious T. Michael, we thank you for the privilege of serving the Grand Council. We wish you much

happiness and pleasure in all your future undertakings.

Fraternally submitted,

Thomas A Jacks, Chairman

Jimmie M. Jackson

CRYPTIC RITUALISTIC COMMITTEE

The new Ritual of Cryptic Masons of Kansas has been well received. Thanks to all who helped make this

possible. Of course there are few minor errors and the next printing can fix the ones we found. We want to

thank those find what has been minor errors.

No schools of instruction were held. Although sometimes the attendance is not a good as we would have

liked, the Companions do find much profit in the instruction and fellowship.

The committee encourages the use of schools of instruction to improve the ritual use in all Councils. The use

of the new ritual with the floor manual of instruction is an excellent source for every Companion. As we see a

gradual decline in active membership, one of the ways to help slow this problem is to become proficient and

do excellent degree work. Would you be likely to return to even a meeting if the degree you received was

done sloppily, done with no preparation, and if it was necessary to be read with not feeling or expression? We

must continue to improve our degree work and be proficient in opening and closing a Council of Cryptic

Masons.

This committee wishes to thank the Most Illustrious T. Michael Fegan and the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons

of Kansas for the privilege of serving this Grand Council.

Election of Officers

M:. I:. Mike then called on Mack Griffiths, chairman of Credentials to have his committee pass out the ballots.

Mike requested that no one mark ballots yet because of some discussion that needs to be done first. “As you

are aware, this will be the third year in a row that Leroy Loggins has not been in attendance at the Grand

Council. I would ask if anyone knows of his desire or intensions or what his problems might be. David Snyder,

jurisprudence chairman stated that he thinks Leroy’s intensions by not notifying anyone before now, that he

does not want to move on up. Mike Bicknell stated that with him taking the lead next year, he wants someone

to fall back on if necessary next year and needs a reliable Deputy. Mike B. stated that he does not know Leroy

personally but is looking more for someone to be there and he has not been around for over three years.

Mike Fegan stated that it is important that the officers participate and particularly the dais officers. I want to

thank M:. I:. Carral Roberts to sit in the Principle Conductor of the Works station at the very last minute. Does

anyone else have anything to add to this discussion? Mike Bicknell suggested moving the line up so Jimmie

Grassi will be Deputy and Wayne Rollf as Principal Conductor of the Work for next year.”

M:. I:. Mike then asked Mack and his committee to pick up the ballots and then was dismissed to go out and

count the ballots.

Mike Bicknell stated that there was not a place selected at this time for the meeting location of Grand Session.

Details will be out as soon as we make a decision. The Reception will be in Newton on June 16. He also

reminded every officer to leave apron and jewel on chair. Get with Allan Jackson for nametags.

Distinguished guests

M:. I:. Mike asked Charles to speak at this time. He knows no one is to speak after him but all that is left to

do is to close Grand Council. Charles agreed that this was fine. I do represent the General Grand Council of

Cryptic Masons International. That is a real pleasure but I want you to know that I have some very deep roots

to the state of Kansas. My great grandparents Stuckey are buried in Harper, Kansas. My grandfather made

the run into Oklahoma when the Cherokee Strip was open in 1893. My mother and father decided I was going

to be born in Kansas so I was born in Anthony, Kansas, and I received my Masters Degree from Emporia State

so I do have some roots in this state. He stated that it was indeed a pleasure to be here. He said that he is

aware that Kansans know about Cryptic Masonry but he was more concerned about York Rite Masons in

Oklahoma and other states as well. He continued to talk about the need to keep Cryptic Masons state wide.

He had a very interesting talk and was well received by all.

Ballot results

The tellers returned from counting ballots with the following report…

M:. I:. Grand Master, there were 49 ballots cast. For Jimmie Grassi, he had 44; and 3 scattered. For

Wayne Rollf, Principle Conductor of the Work, 41 with 8 scattered; for treasurer, Ed Freeman, we had 45

with 4 scattered; Grand Recorder, Allan Jackson, he had 46 with 3 scattered.

M:. I:. Mike then asked if each would accept the office to which they had been elected. In turn each agreed

to accept the following year. Mike thanked the committee for their service.

M:. I:. Mike thanked all for their help this year and for their presence this week. He proceeded to close the

Grand Council until next year.

W . Ron McKenzie

Right Eminent Grand Commander

2012-2013

Page 6 of 69

Walter Ronald “Ron” McKenzie, Sr.

Born the 2nd son of Rosa Dell (Mc Caa) and James W. McKenzie Jr., August 12, 1938 in

Beaumont, TX., and lived briefly in Victoria, Texas, Ron’s family moved to Pineville, Louisiana

during his very early childhood. Ron’s dad, James “Jim” W. McKenzie Jr., owned a Diamond T

truck dealership, a gas station, paint and body shop and several used car lots in Pineville and

Alexandria, LA. Ron’s paternal grandfather was the first Ford dealer in Louisiana, and also

owned a laundry and brought a unique system of laundry from France, dry cleaning, as we

know it today. He also owned a 6-chair barbershop where he also was a barber.

Ron attended kindergarten and grades 1 – 5 (after skipping the 4th grade) in Pineville, grades 6

and 7 at a rural school in Pollock, LA. Ron was a member of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts as

well as a member of the 4-H. He became a member of the DeMolay in Alexandria in 1951. His

first paying job was as a babysitter at the age of 10, making 60 cents per hour. His second job

was delivering early morning newspapers throughout the town of Pineville at the age of 13 years

to the age of 15 (having obtained a driver’s license at the age of 13). He was a Lieutenant in the

Junior Louisiana State Troopers, (a Louisiana Highway Patrol organization for young boys.)

High school in Pineville ended in 1954 when the family relocated to Junction City, Kansas.

During his grade school years he played clarinet in the band, sang in the choir, and in High

School in Junction City, played football his Junior and Senior year, was a 100 yard dash runner

in Track, was stage manager for both his Jr. & Sr. class plays (receiving a Thespian Letter). He

was in Spanish club, the library club and was a also a member of the KS Air National Guard as

a Corporal his senior year. After graduating from JCHS in 1956, Ron joined the Navy. Trained

in Morse Code at Bainbridge, MD in 1957, graduated as a radioman and was assigned to the

USS Wasp CVS-18 (an aircraft carrier), whose home port was Boston, MA. During the summer

of 1958, while on duty in the Mediterranean, the ship was ordered to Beirut, Lebanon during the

Lebanese Crisis. He was assigned to the Admiral’s Staff of COMCARDIV 14 the last three

months of his Navy service and was Honorably Discharged in August 1959. He returned to

Kansas, where he attended K-State one year studying business. Then he was off to Texas to be

a Volkswagen salesman and mechanic. 1961 saw him back home in Kansas going to work in

Civil Service at Fort Riley in the Printing Plant operating various printing presses.

A friend of Ron’s talked him into driving from Junction City to Des Moines. On the promise of a

great weekend and a nice “blind” date, Ron agreed to go. He found his dream girl waiting for

him. On their very first date, it was truly “love at first sight” (at least for Ron!) They met in

August, he proposed on their first date, and they were married three months later, on November

11, 1961. It has proved to be a wonderful union, for the two celebrated their 50th Anniversary on

the 11th of November, 2011.

In 1962 the two moved to Louisiana, the state of Ron’s childhood living in the small town of

Fishville, for 4 years during which their two children, Walter Ronald, Jr.(Bud) and Karin Ann

were born. Ron worked for the Department of the Army at Fort Polk, LA.

In June of 1966, with a chance for advancement in his occupation, Ron and family relocated

back to Junction City where he worked in communications and security at Fort Riley as a Shift

Supervisor, supervising the activities of 7 personnel. In 1977, Ron was promoted to the Chief of

the Telecommunications Branch for Fort Riley, KS, supervising approximately 24 persons both

Page 7 of 69

civilians and military in a 24 hour per day 7 day per week operation. In 1988, Ron became the

Security Manager for the United States Army Communications Command at Fort Riley,

responsible for all aspects of security, including initiating request for security clearances under

his own signature authority, and did personally grand interim TOP SECRET security clearances

when and where warranted and required. His other jobs were of a classified nature.

Ron’s first real friends in Junction City were Jeff Johnson and Norman Johnson (cousins who

later became Masons) whom he had met in 1954. Norman being a member of the First

Presbyterian Church in Junction City was the first to introduce Ron to Presbyterianism and he

attended church several times with him. Ron was raised Southern Baptist in Louisiana. As a

teenager new to Kansas, and there being no Southern Baptist church in Junction City, in 1954;

along with his father and brother, physically helped to build the First Southern Baptist church on

West 8th Street in Junction City.

While working at Fort Riley, Ron joined the Fort Riley Flying Club and learned to fly becoming a

private pilot.

Ron served 22 years with the Geary County Sheriff’s Reserve as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff

reaching the rank of Sergeant, and eventually was promoted to Captain in Charge. He

originated an provided the paperwork necessary to have the Reserve unit declared a Non-Profit

Organization with the IRS.

Following in the footsteps of his Great-Great Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Grandfather, and

Father, Ron became a Mason and has been active for over 27 years and continues to be very

active in the local Masonic Lodge, Union Lodge No. 7 AF&AM of Junction City, KS. He has also

served at state level with the KS Grand Masonic Lodge and the KS Grand York Rite. (See

attached Masonic Record). He has been directly responsible for over 50 new members having

top line signed over 40 petitions. He also actively coaches new members in the memory work of

all 3 degrees and assists other Masons in learning their new positions in the lodge.

In 1995, after raising their children, and after his retirement from Federal Civil Service, Ron went

“way out on a limb” and bought a fishing lodge northern Saskatchewan, Canada, 1,800 miles

from Kansas and then 18 miles by boat to an island which he named Pike Island. Trips to town

involved 225 miles down a gravel road and then further to the nearest store to buy supplies – a

total round trip of 500 plus miles frequently taking more than 24 hours. Buying pristine land on a

large lake, they and their customers kept company with bears, moose, wolves and other critters.

Together he and Rosemary ran the fishing lodge with 6 cabins and 30 beds. With Rosemary as

the primary cook, and Ron working as the “local electrician, carpenter, fishing guide, doctor, part

time cook, dishwasher, boat builder, outboard motor mechanic, diesel generator mechanic, and

as the “hairy-legged waitress” to the many happy sportsmen, they enjoyed their first opportunity

to work together for the first time in their married life. They hired local native Indians

(Denesuline’ or Dene’–a branch of the Navajo) as fishing guides, some speaking little or no

English with whom Ron supervised and befriended and actually taught somehow to speak

English. After six happy years they felt a little isolated, missing their children and grandchildren,

and so they sold the lodge to return to Kansas and family, with the option to go back anytime to

use the camp and fish.

THE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONCLAVE

GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF KANSAS

April 12, 2013

CLOSED MEETING

The Right Eminent Ron McKenzie, Grand Commander of Kansas, called the meeting to order by

asking the Grand Warder to inform the Grande Sentinel that we are about to reconvene the

Grand Commandery Conclave. Grand Commander Ron proceeded to say that since he wrote

the following it should be in his memory but it is not so he will read it. It is one of the articles

from the Knights Templar magazine from May.

“It is indeed an honor and privilege for me to welcome you to your Grand Session and the One

Hundred Forty Fifth Annual Conclave of Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kansas.

Thank you for coming and being a part of history. I want to thank Right Eminent Past Grand

Commander, T. Michael Fegan for appointing me to the progressive line in this Grand

Commandery. It just seems like yesterday that this took place. Honestly it went faster than I

thought it would. Without Mike’s friendship, vision, support and encouragement, I would not be

here. Also I want to thank the many Sir Knights who voted for me in each position along the

way. These dedicated men are the shoulders on whom I have leaned and in whose shadows I

have walked. Had they not been there, providing wise counsel, support and encouragement I

would have surely failed. I can never begin to fill the shoes of those Sir Knights who proceeded

me in this exalted position. I am truly humbled to have been a small part of this magnanimous

Order. As my year as Grand Commander began April 15, 2012 I was indeed overwhelmed and

full of hop, excitement, amazement and plans. It was my plan and intention to visit every one

of our Commandery’s in the state, had planned on attending Triennial in Virginia, the Grand

Conclaves in our surrounding states. Some of my plans includes originate a 20-20 vision for

Grand Commandery similar to the program now working for Grand Lodge in the hope of

sparking new interest and action to see new live in our Order. Looking for the fellowship I had

planned to bring Knights Templar of Kansas back into public sight by attending every

dedication, emblems and emblem presentation with Grand Lodge along with the M:. W:. Grand

Master, Don Newman. There were many more plans which I had hoped to implement, however

that was not to be. Four days after being elected and installed as Right Eminent Grand

Commander Knights Templar of Kansas the love of my life, my best friend, a wife of years,

woke up the morning of April 19 to a victim of a massive stroke. It left her unable to speak,

walk, use her right arm and hand and totally at that time be able to take care of herself. After a

week in ICU and a couple days on the floor, she was transferred to Via Christi Care Center in

Manhattan. During that time she also had a gall bladder attack and had to have surgery for its

removal. Several mistakes were made which made her recovery much more difficult. After

returning to Via Christi care Center, Manhattan and after having received some therapies, and

after careful consideration my immediate family and I decided the best care and chance for her

recovery was to bring her home, which we did July 15. During this time, that is when I became

a total caregiver to the love of my life. All of my plans were immediately changed. Many were

cancelled. During this time, several Knights stepped up and preformed presentations and

visitations for me without hesitation. Also the support of my daughter and son, my limited

Page 17 of 69

participation would not been possible. I cannot say enough about the love shown to me by our

daughter, Carry Ann who was by Rosemary’s and my side until she went to work. My son was

there as much as his work would allow. Without the love and support by these two very special

people, I would have not have been able to perform those duties.

I would be remiss if I did not mention all of the love, friendship and caring shown and

expressed that the Sir Knights, Brothers, Sisters and friends expressed. I received hundreds of

calls, emails, phone calls, flowers, cards, visits and food all was and is appreciated more than I

can tell you. Saying Thank you does not seem enough to express my gratitude. But thank you

from the bottom of my heart. You will remain in my heart forever. Rosemary and I are truly

blessed to have such friends and family.

Being represented on several occasions by Sir Knight Chuck Arens, Wayne Rector, Dave

Bingham, Wayne Rollf, and others too many to name here. Their participation in some of the

activities normally attended by the Grand Commander would not have happened and I am

eternally grateful for them.

I was fortunate to be able to attend part of the Job’s Daughters Convention in Hays, The area

inspections in Parsons and Hutchinson, the awards presentation in Hiawatha, the public

opening of Grand Lodge in Salina taking an active part in the honor guard arch of steel for the

outgoing Grand Master, Don Newman. After having starting my Masonic life as a DeMolay in

1952 in Alexander, Louisiana, never in my lifetime did I ever imagine that it would eventually

lead to my becoming Grand Commander of Knights Templar of Kansas sixty years later. Thank

you Sir Knights from the bottom of my heart for all of the support you have given me in this

past, very trying year. The ladies of the Grand York Rite bodies who have always been there

for Rosemary and myself, for my family without whom it would not have worked. While my

personal situation has prevented me from attending many functions, it has been my honor and

privilege to serve you as the Grand Commander this past year. I will cherish this time for the

rest of our lives. Thank you for allowing me this grand honor.

Lastly, in the words of Brother Will Rogers, never let yesterday use up too much of today. Then

he said never miss an opportunity to shut up.”

Fraternally,

W. Ronald McKenzie

Annuity in each of our bodies and of the Grand York Rite. The report from the first quarter in

this Annuity in Grand Commandery is almost as much as the entire year last year. Not only is it

protected by being an annuity but are guaranteed a minimum income or more. We worried

about moving this a bit but I believe it has proven itself as a good idea. The recap sheets and

income sheets you will find in the Advanced Proceedings. If there are any questions please do

not hesitate to call the office number and my cell phone will ring. However, I might not answer

after 6 p.m. each evening. I am sorry but I need my personal time too.

R:. E:. Grand Commander, I move that the report of the Grand Treasurer be accepted and

printed in the Proceedings.

The motion was properly seconded and passed.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The R:. E:. Grand Commander told us that the time came for election of officers. He then

appointed Sir Knight Robert Tomlinson, Jr. and Sir Knight Steve Meyers. He also mentioned that

there are two blank places that each need to remove before handing in your ballot. After the

Grand Commander told the tellers to retire and count the ballots, Sir Knight Fred Troxel spoke

to all present. Fred mentioned that it is a pleasure being in Kansas again. He was raised down

around Osawatomie, KS. We lived in Paola for awhile. Then I was moved to Grantville, Missouri

then to Peculiar, Missouri, that was 4 different high schools I attended. But I was a Peculiar

graduate (in more ways than one). I moved again then I was married. I married a Peculiar girl

and entered into a Peculiar family. So I have been Peculiar for a long time. I now live in Blue

Springs just on the eastern side of Independence. It’s over there by the Truman library. If you

have not been there it’s a good place to go and visit and see what “Give ‘em hell, Harry” was all

about. They have car and a few other things. I am upset because for whatever the reason

was, they closed the Truman home. The economy is hitting the Blue Lodges and York Rite very

hard due to members and potential members not having the finances to join or be active. The

York Rite needs to tell the Lodges what it is all about. Many do not know what York Rite is.

We all know that the uniform is not cheap, neither is the sword. The aprons for Chapter and

Council are also not cheap. All I can say is keep track of what you belong to and be proud. If

finances are available, help a fellow brother that wants to join York Rite but cannot afford the

entire cost, see if you or several can help him get in. You all will be better for this. I was kicked

out of Kansas some time ago and I am glad to be back. T. Michael Fegan and I served our own

Grand Commanderies the same year. I am glad to be back as you have some good leadership

here in Kansas. It’s a pleasure for me to work with Sir Knight David Bingham. I have known

Sir Knight Wayne Rector for several years, as he has attended our Grand Session in Jefferson

City. Anyway, it’s a great thing that I came this year. I thank you for all the hospitality I have

received in Kansas. Thank you again. Fred A. Troxel

COMMITTEE REPORTS

The R:. E:. Grand Commander asked for the committee reports. The Grand Recorder stood and

made a motion to accept all reports that were printed in the Advanced Proceedings. The

motion was properly seconded by David Bingham.The motion was voted on and passed.

The Grand Recorder then reported that there are banners on the Grand Recorders Desk for

those who brought their Beauceant’s this year and to come to the desk after the meeting and

get one. Those who brought yours last year we did not get the banners soon enough to have

them at session so if you will tell me, I will give you one of last year’s also. For the outgoing

officers and incoming officers, we have you come to this desk and one at a time. We had a

terrible mix up on the paraphernalia last time and I want it to be correct this year. Let’s

straightened this out. This will be just after we close this morning.

Dress for the banquet is Class A with belt, no sword and no chapeau. No gloves either.

JURISPRUDENCE REPORT

At this time David Snyder approached the microphone. The Jurisprudence committee was

contacted by the Grand Recorder to give an opinion on a proposed General Order #7 which

would have required every Commandery to make a contribution to the Holy Land Pilgrimage

fund without having an opportunity to collect it from the Sir Knights. It was the opinion of the

committee that the General Order was not in compliance with the Statutes of the Grand

Commandery of Kansas and the Grand Commander and Grand Recorder were notified of this

change. The Grand Commander’s message was received several days prior to the Grand

Session opening and the review indicates that the Grand Commander has many good intensions

when entering office but due to problems beyond his control he was unable to fulfill all of his

duties. He is to be commended under stressful circumstances and did as much as he could

being Grand Commander while being his wife’s chief caregiver. The appointment of officers

and committees and general orders were within the rights of a Grand Commander and were

well thought out for the good of Kansas Templary. R:. E:. Grand Commander, I move that this

portion of the Jurisprudence report be accepted and printed in the proceedings. This was

seconded and voted on. The motion carried.

The statutes of the Grand Commandery, you should have in hand now the proposed changes.

The Statutes of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kansas currently reads…
