I've sat in Buffalo, and Jewett while they did EA degrees this year. Our recent DDGM was Don Ballard, and it was a real blessing to get to know him. When I was at Buffalo, we were having the dinner, and out of nowhere, I heard a voice I will never forget!!! I never saw the face before, so I could never associate the voice and face until that night. But I can tell you the Brother swings a mighty Setting Maul!! I also found many of those who were present to help with my degrees at Golden Rule were from just "up the pike" a bit. Great bunch of Brothers across the county line. Come see us sometime. Brother LJ Linson and I are at Golden Rule, and Brother Rene' is at Patrick Lodge, but you will find us at both locations, especially if there is wo0rd of a good meal
Golden Rule has a monthly Pancake Breakfast on the first Saturday of the month. We have a Brother who rents the downstairs, and has a restaurant in it, and we use his facility to have the breakfast. We have it suspended until February due to the holidays.
