Brother Mike ... yes I know Brother Bates. You are indeed blessed to have such friends!
Bro Smartrod ... I was told that the Valley is going to spring for new wardrobes once in the new building. How many, I don't know. How soon, I don't know. Until then I suspect we'll go with the old standby hang-and-drip method of cleaning.
Everyone is a-buzz about the new building. One thing folks are pointing to is being able to use the stage props again. I took my degrees in Galveston courtesy of the Galveston Valley. Their stage props are fantastic and their temple is beautiful.
Since wardrobe room work is fairly involved I have been working the 9th and 10th degrees on stage in Galveston. Gives me a chance to screw up a line now and again. I look forward to meeting each of you at stated meetings (4th Thursday night) and sharing good times at the coming reunions.

One thing I'm going to miss about the reunions at Holland 1 is loading and unloading that rent truck and following it across town to re-store everything in the warehouse. Man, there's just no better fun after a long, long reunion. :sneaky2:
