Outdoor Master's Degree - Father and Son

[Bro. Brad Marrs]

A couple of us from The Colony #1451 traveled down to Sonora, TX this weekend to see one of our brothers raised on his family's ranch. The degree was conferred by the brother's father, who is Worshipful Master of Dee Ora Lodge #715.

Good times indeed! An outdoor degree takes the covering of the Symbolic Lodge to a whole new level!

I attached some pictures.

This certainly should make a very special occassion even more magical.

Out of curiosity, wouldn't the lodge's charter need to be present?

How did they handle this?

Does a lodge have to get permission from the GLoT to move their Charter?

Good questions. This is what is called a courtesy degree, and is covered under article 478. "A Lodge in this jurisdiction may request another Lodge in this jurisdiction to confer a degree or degrees by courtesy." This was done in their Lodge, therefore their charter was used.

Ha, I didn't notice that the horse was properly clothed the first time around. Very nice.

I wonder how the horse turned his work in? ;-)
