Bro. James Morgan III

Please forgive the audio quality this week.  As we recorded on location at the lodge we had to use a cell phone.

It is Labor Day weekend and we are all busy with family and friends so we are keeping it short today and will not be featuring an interview. Not to worry though we have several great interviews recorded and ready to go for the episodes to come. Today the family and I spent some time up at the lodge while I was doing some awesome research of our history. My daughter jumps in to present today's article from Masonry Today.com which I was really excited about. We want to make sure and recognize those in Texas enduring the struggle of the hurricane right now. The MSA is accepting donations to support their needs. Please see below for the link to MSA where you can offer your support. Now off to light the grill and spend some time relaxing with the family. See you next time!

What happened in Masonic History Today?

Due to such an engaging interview the time ran a bit lengthy this week so decided to cut the MasonryToday article.  They will be back next time but until then pay them a visit at www.MasonryToday.com

In this episode, we chat this time with Dylan Kuhlman, the Archivist for the Grand Lodge of Kansas who gives an inside perspective of the progress in archives.  The interesting thing about Dylan’s position with the Grand Lodge is that he is actually a Profane!  However, however he is bringing some very impressive experience, dedication, and overall passion to the table and to the mission of saving and sharing the Masonic history within the state of Kansas.  He came in to a mountainous job at hand but has taken it head on.  You will defiantly want to be in on this week’s conversation.

As you may have heard I was featured as a special lunchtime presenter for the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education this past weekend in Topeka, Ks. This even was a HUGE sucess and happy to report the presentation went over extremly well.  I want to give a big shoutout to a couple die hard Historical Light fans, Mark and Bill, that jumped in the car for a roadtrip from Nebraska to come down and see me speak.  That meant the world. Several others tried to make the trip down but dates didnt allign which I more than understand.  You all are amazing and I appreciate the support from each of you more than you know.

Bro. Patrick Craddock had an EPIC presentation at the conferecne that I can not go without highlighting.  He spoke on the history of the Masonic apron.  As a history nerd this one had my FULL attention and I never want to wear a "community apron" ever again.  If you have not gotten to hear him speak you need to make it a point!
