SO MOTE IT BE!
Brethren, we got an unofficial visit from DDGM 30-D Right Worshipful Jim Forse last Tuesday night at the Cypress No. 1423 stated meeting. I asked Brother Forse, a good friend for some years now, to join me in the East. He gladly did so.
I took off with the agenda before me and hustled through as much as possible before calling on the Right Worshipful to talk with the brethren. After finding out his misses was from my old home town Lake Charles and enduring the usual compliment of jokes about the Louisiana culture, I told the Right Worshipful it was indeed good to set in lodge with him over here in the Western Parishes.
About that time I realized he was wearing the new DDGM tie: bright yellow and basic bright yellow. At first I flinched, ducked, and covered. Then asked if he saw anyone out there in a crimson uniform with a number on it.
Boys, I'm still a little skittish ... even around Red Lights!
