I may be looking for that in a couple of years. Thanks Brother!

I'm presuming they are the exception (I'll know soon enough--unless Bro. Bill answers first--because my MWGLoT law/statute book is in the mail). (Brother, could you post a photo of your white-on-white Past Master's apron? I have got to see it!) Thanks gentlemen. I know these forums take a lot...

I guess that rules out the Texas Lodge of Research and Tranquility Lodge aprons...or are they an exception?

I got one published in 1928 on Amazon for about twenty bucks (maybe a little more, I can't remember). Good condition too. I know part of it is that it was expected, but that sounds like it won't be rectified. Sorry for that...

So that's "rounds" (plural) for "anyone" that shows up? Nice guy...I'm there! :beer2:

Any Texans want to set up a time for MoT patrons to meet at Grand Lodge? I'd love to meet most of you face-to-face...most of you.

I wouldn't doubt if it goes back to operative days to prevent leaders of the Lodge from driving a wedge between brethren based on political/monarchical leveraging. If you look at some of the unions today, it definitely seems to be a best practice (or lack thereof, with today's unions) and is...

:29: Keep 'em coming!

Sounds like a great way to let younger guys know about the Fraternity. As you mentioned, the shared symbolism was well-received when you became a Mason. One could speculate that your Fraternity in college may have opened your mind to actually becoming a Mason... Instead of it being a "you can't...

I had a business trip to Glasgow last February. I was so impressed with the people, the scenery, and the architecture. I travelled around Glasgow, Perth, and then made it to Edinburgh. Fascinating. I really need to go back (especially now that I'm a Mason) to travel through the Highlands, Isle...

What's the rule on hand-crafted or custom aprons in Texas? What about wearing aprons from appendant bodies? Or are they confined to wear in the respective body? Grand Lodge of Scotland? That's awesome! Pray tell?

I'm familiar with how things developed in the US. I may do some more research on other countries as well. Canada and Mexico had heavy French and Spanish (respectively) influence at the origin of what became their current countries. I'd be interested to see how Light spread there. My arrogant...

I plan on attending as a newly-Raised Master. I've got a bit of work ahead of me though...

:5: Blame Canada!!!

There is clearly a misunderstanding. Surely nobody meant to say Canadian Lodges are irregular. I'm sure there are some, just like in the U.S. The designation of F&AM, AF&AM, etc. is only an indication of their historical roots. The exception is with Prince Hall Affilliated Lodges which are...

I believe it is universal. If not, throw a blue slipper decal (it has an S&C in it) on her car and wait for the questions. I am not sure how widespread it is. Part of me wants to think it originated in the Eastern Star, but I am ignorant in these matters and couldn't find anything aside from the...
