Unless work denies my vacation request I will be instructed into the Masonic Order of Athelstan, Duke of Cumberland Court No. 101 on Saturday, July 15, 2017. It was supposed to take place during Masonic Week 2017 but I work odd hours and couldn't make it.

Ancient and heroic Order of the Gordian Knott

I was instructed into the Order on July 15, 2017. The ritual work was short and an excellent addition to the Master Mason degree. Probably one of the warmest welcomes I've ever received! I'm not sure how other courts (the body meets as a court) work but immediately after the degree work all candidates (there were two of us) were presented with: an apron, neck tie, lapel pin, cuff links, ritual book, by-laws of our court, and newsletter. The items were not cheaply made but quality items clearly made with pride. Duke of Cumberland Court No. 101 meets three times a year in Winchester, VA.
