REUNION CONTINUED PAGE 3

Brothers, Sisters, Family members and Friends,

When I was elected Orator I was informed I had one hour to talk. I have

worked on this speech and had it up to ten pages. I was going to address the class,

but that’s been taken care of. I was going to address the officers and how we were

selected, but that’s been done. Therefore, I have decided to make deletions and give

this talk from the hip.

To start off with, our statures warrant attention and good food in order to

maintain them. I would like to acknowledge the Chefs and the great job they have

done in taking care of us the last two days!

As I look around I see some children in the room, along with wives and

friends. The family support is an important part in making it possible for a Mason to

be a contributing member.

Another form of support is that which comes from our Masonic Brothers. I look out here and see

Brothers from Havre and Big Sandy Lodges, supporting those of us receiving our hats and rings. They

are here as friends and Brothers. We support each other in attending each other’s meetings and assisting

with degree work. That support is what makes a family secure.

The support and friendships we have made over the last two days are fantastic. We knew it was

going to be educational, but we were not sure just what would take place…for two days! We (the four of

us) came here to find answers to questions. We have not only been lead toward the answers, but we have

developed an appetite for more. The Brothers providing the degree work have taken of their time to

provide information through readings, skits and supportive conversation. They have also demonstrated

the kindness and warmth that invite participation and learning.

In speaking for the class as a whole, we accept the challenge to seek answers to the questions that

arise and a deeper understanding of those answers. We look forward to participating in the Scottish Rite

meetings and educational work.

We thank all of you for giving of yourselves for our betterment and advancement. Thank you.

Venerable Master Keith Head, presented membership

patents to two of our Brothers from the last class: the

Brothers Vermeulen—father David Joseph and son David

Julien.

Montana Deputy, David Nielsen, 33°,

congratulated the new class and their

sponsors and presented them with a

bison skull pin in token of the event.

After the festivities concluded in the dining room, the

assemblage adjourned upstairs, where the cap and ring

ceremony was performed. This concluding part of the

reunion was presided over by Venerable Master Keith Head;

the cap talk was delivered by William Austin, 32° KCCH, and

the ring talk was presented by James Audet, 33°. A hearty

welcome and congratulations was accorded these four new

Scottish Rite members.

IN MEMORY OF CHESTER ROGERS PAGE 4 Chester “Chet” Rogers, 99 passed away on September 17, 2014 of natural causes. He was born in Lewistown July

30, 1915 to Charles Archie and Lena Corbly Rogers. Chet Rogers lived on various ranches

in the Lewistown area until moving to Musselshell in 1926. Rusty, as he was known,

graduated from Musselshell High School in 1933 where he played basketball and was a

member of the new FFA chapter. He won the FFA state oratory contest in 1932 and 1933

and traveled to Salt Lake City for the regional convention. After graduation, Chet worked

construction jobs from Montana to New Mexico riding the rails from job to job – his hobo

years. He loved to challenge himself and learn new jobs and skills, which came in handy

when he was hired by the University of California/U.S. War Department to setup and work

their production shop. During WWII, Chet’s talents were put to work to help build many

innovative devices, such as a depth charge instrument, guided torpedoes, and SONAR

equipment that helped clear the English Channel of U-boats allowing the invasion of

France to succeed. The designs for these new devices were so far reaching that he was only given blueprints and

asked to “build something like this”. Because of his talent for making anything, Chet not only received a

Presidential Deferment when an attempt to draft him was made

towards the end of the war, but he also received Presidential

Commendations.

Chet divided his time between San Diego and Montana.

His family had moved to the Big Horn Valley where in 1945, he

met Helen Huntington in Hardin. They were married and spent

one year in San Diego before returning to Hardin where their two

daughters were born. They moved back to San Diego in 1951,

where Chet continued to work as a precision tool and die and

instrument maker starting his own business, Universal Specialties.

After moving to La Verkin, Utah in 1973, they returned to San

Diego in 1978 where he managed Certified Metal Craft for his longtime friends Bob and Jean Wiederkehr. Retiring

from his two part time jobs in 1995, he and Helen divided their time between San Diego and Great Falls until 2004

when they moved to Great Falls and Chet set up his shop.

While retirement brought a chance to travel to Australia, Hawaii, Alaska and the east coast and watch

grandchildren grow up, Chet was happiest working in his shop. He traded precision metal work for woodworking

and continued to make remarkable pieces for friends and family. His clocks are cherished by many. Chet was a

Past Master and a 50 year member of San Diego Lodge #35, was awarded the KCCH by the Scottish Rite, and a

member of Eastern Star. He was also a member of York Rite, Hassan

Grotto and the Elks lodge. He respected perfect ritual and assisted

whenever asked.

He is survived by Helen, his wife of 68 years, and daughters

Cheryl (John) Bobbitt of San Diego, CA and Bonnie (Myrl) Nardinger

of Great Falls; 7 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law

AnnaBelle Rogers of Hardin, Velda (Gordon) Bice of Antelope Valley,

AZ, Carol Hurley of Peculiar, MO, and Karen Huntington of Post Falls,

ID; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by 3

brothers and 1 sister.

His funeral service was at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, September 27th at the Scottish Rite Temple with a reception

following.

Myles opened the service and introduced Reverend Kent Gordon for his part of the service.

After Reverend Kent Gordon, Myles took over and

conducted his part of the service which included Masonic

Funeral Services and this Memorial:

Chester, Rusty, Chet, Dad, Papa, Great Grandpa…

There’s no doubt that this man was many things to us all.

But no matter the title, he was always the same – a learner, a

fixer, and a creator with amazing stories and love for his

family. As a man born near the end of the Industrial

Revolution – a time marked with new technologies and

innovations to existing technologies, Chet epitomized the era

– learning everything he could, fixing what needed fixing,

and creating what seemed to be the impossible.

During WWII, most men went overseas to fight in

the war, but Chet helped in the war efforts from American

soil. He worked at the University of California on

technology so far ahead of its time that the parts didn’t even exist. Throughout those years at the university, his job

as a tool and die maker was to create and fix things. When Chet’s boss approached him with a 30 day deadline on a

special project that took years to design, Chet went to work nearly 24-7, and completed the project by himself. Not

only did he meet the deadline; he made it with 3 days to spare. What most people may not know, is that his ability

to fix and create was instrumental in the success of the D-day invasion. In this case, he helped develop SONAR.

Chet never went to college, but his work ethic along with his self-taught skills and abilities were so valuable, he

received a presidential deferment from the war and earned Presidential Commendations.

It is obvious Chet was a hard worker and was proud of his skills, but upon marrying the love of his life,

Helen, he had a new mission in life – to provide for his wife and their two daughters, Cheryl and Bonnie. There’s

no doubt about the love he

had for his family,

especially Helen, as he

always worked to make sure

she had what was needed.

For years, Chet gave her a

$100 bill every year for

Christmas. But one year,

she needed a new computer, so with the help of his daughter Bonnie, the $100 bill was replaced with a new

computer, because that’s what she needed.

But Chet wasn’t just a worker, a

fixer, and a provider; he was a great teacher.

Whether you were his daughter, grandson, or

someone he just met, he was willing to teach,

if you were willing to learn. No matter if you

wanted him to teach you to drive a standard

transmission, build a furnace, play cards,

construct a bed, or learn about Masonry, Chet

loved to share his knowledge and instill in

others his work ethic. Chet loved to fix. He

believed life was about learning and staying

active, creating things others people could

use, and teaching these skills, so that others

could better their own lives. Many of you here

may have a clock, a gavel, or some other piece

of work he made for you. In the spirit of Chet and as a family, we hope you’ll take these treasured items,

memories, and knowledge, and carry them with you as we all say goodbye to this incredible man.

THE RITE CORNER

“DeMolay Memories”

From

David L. Nielsen, Deputy in Montana

I recently had the honor of attending the Grand Banquet for the Montana Masonic Youth

Convention, which was a combined event of State DeMolay and Job’s Daughters, and to bring greetings

from the Orient of Montana, A&ASR. The convention had the trappings of the old DeMolay Conclaves

that I attended as an active DeMolay but included a concurrent statewide meeting of the four Montana

Bethels for Job’s Daughters. The young men were handsome and the young ladies lovely.

The youthful energy from the DeMolays and Jobies made it exciting just to be in their presence.

The night triggered memories of my personal experiences as a Montana DeMolay and the brothers that I

met then and encountered later in life. Particularly I recalled Ed Eck, who was from Lewistown and the

son of a pharmacist. Ed was State Master Councilor in 1966. Ed was a little older than me and after his

term as State Master Councilor, I did not run across his path until I entered Law School at the University

of Montana. There was Ed in the class ahead of mine. He was the same patient, gentle, thoughtful man

that I remembered from years before. Though we had not seen each other since DeMolay days we still

shared that special bond of the brotherhood being DeMolays and Masons. Ed graduated and became a

law school professor and later the Dean of the Law School.

While I was pursuing my career in Helena and Ed in Missoula, our encounters were less frequent.

When we did see each other from time to time, we each silently shared the reminiscence of DeMolay.

One day, during the year I was serving as Grand Master of Masons, I received a call from an agent

with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He had been given my name and telephone number from the

Grand Secretary. He told me Ed had been nominated for a Presidential appointment to a federal position

and he was doing a background check. He said Ed belonged to the Masons and needed to know if

Masonry was a subversive organization. Having recently returned at that time from the 275th

Anniversary

of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, I was fresh on the great history that Masons played in the formation

of this country and our individual liberties found in the Bill of Rights. I may have told him that the only

conspiracy that I knew Masons participated in was the fight for independence in 1775 and the

establishment of the United States Constitution in 1787. To his surprise I remarked that the first Director

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover, was a Mason and especially a 33° Scottish Rite

Mason. He was interested in this explanation of the nature of Masonry. I never did ask if Ed got the

appointment but I certainly hope so.

The message I left with the DeMolays and Jobies was that the brothers and sisters they meet in

their respective organizations will always have a special bond that endures over time. Though Masons

and Scottish Rite brothers know this is true, I wanted to reassure the DeMolays and Jobies that it is

equally so with them.

I was chagrined that I have not visited a DeMolay chapter in years but with this recent renewal of

DeMolay excitement, I plan to change that. I suggest that we all make time to visit a DeMolay Chapter, a

Rainbow Assembly, and a Job’s Daughter Bethel. It will be a rewarding experience for us and for them.

FEAST OF TISHRI October 27, 2014

Traditionally, the Feast of Tishri celebrates two great moments in history,

each of special Masonic importance. First – it recalls that the Lord, speaking to

Moses, commanded the Israelites to build in preparation for the festival, booths

or tents in the fields to remind them of the 40 years they spent wandering in the

wilderness, living in tents. The festival began on the 15th

day of the seventh

month (Tishri) and lasted for seven days. It fell at the end of the harvest season

and is sometimes called “the feast of ingathering”. The Bible states when “ye

have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord so that

your generations may know that I brought (the children of Israel) out of the land

of Egypt”. It was similar to our American Pilgrim forefathers when they

celebrated the first thanksgiving on these very shores. They gave thanks for the two-fold bounty of God,

natures abundance and man’s freedom.

Pilgrim or Jew, each had known the terror of oppression and the weight of tyranny. Each realized

that any price is small if the purchase made is freedom.

This year in our area, we have had a bountiful harvest. For this we should be very thankful

because agriculture is an important sector of our economy. However, we still hear many who are

preaching that the world is on its last leg, that prices aren’t high enough, that the people in office are

unqualified and so are the ones who are running for office – instead of being grateful, everything is

wrong. We all are aware of many things in America that could be better, but let’s be thankful for the

privilege of living in this country. It is still the greatest nation on earth. Compared with the rest of the

world, our United States has only 6% of the population and land area, yet by the determination of our

people, we still have the highest standard of living in the world. For this and more, we should be grateful.

The second great thing about the Feast of Tishri is that it commemorates the completion and

dedication of King Solomon’s Temple about 966 B.C. No other symbol in our fraternity is richer or

more inspiring than that of Solomon’s Temple, which a free people built in the name of brotherhood. The

Temple represents that ultimate accomplishment of Scottish Rite, an enlightened citizenry in a just

society. We, within the Scottish Rite, build for the future and make good men better through our degrees.

One of the greatest dangers that we face in America today is that we are taking our many blessings

and freedoms for granted. In studying the history of Masonry in the world and especially in America, we

find that some of our greatest thinkers, the broad minded and innovative citizens, were men of Masonic

action. If there ever was a time when the mission of Masonry and the ideals for which it stands needed to

be spread and preached in the world, the time is now. Instead of 30 or 40 at this meeting, this hall should

be filled. We should be here to look to the past for guidance and to give thanks to God for our many

blessings and our freedoms. But, at the same time, we must re-evaluate our present actions and prepare

for the future. We must remember that we have no yesterdays except memories, tomorrow may never be.

All we have is today, so today let us prepare and begin anew to formulate plans for a new and brighter

tomorrow. To quote a Sovereign Grand Commander of yore (Henry Clausen) “during the Feast of Tishri,

the brethren sit in unity at the festive table, whether lavish or spare. The actual date of the feast, the food

served, the program observed--these may vary from valley to valley, but the strength and significance of

the feast remains constant. Like the twenty-five Elus who shared in the wisdom of Solomon upon

completion of the temple, at the lodge’s festive table during the Feast of Tishri, we brethren of the

Scottish Rite abide in perfect understanding and harmony. We honor the record of our Rite in ancient

times. We celebrate the accomplishments of our Rite today. We bind ourselves to the greater

achievements of our Rite tomorrow.

Thus, the past becomes the present, the flight of the Israelites out of Egypt to freedom, their

abundant harvest in the promised land, the dedication of the Temple of Solomon ………………these are

bound in the observance of the Feast of Tishri today”.

The Downtown Great Falls Association’s “Dancing with the Stars Great Falls” allowed the dancers to make

donations to the charities of their choice. The best overall performance award was given to Jennifer and Dave

Cantley for their jazz number called “Fever”. They donated the $500 to the Scottish Rite Language Disorders

Clinic. The firm Dave works for, L’HEUREUX PAGE WERNER, P.C., matched the $500, so the Clinic received

$1000. Jennifer and Dave both knew who they would give the prize money to as their son had received help from

our Clinic several years ago. Six Language Clinic Board Members and Clinic Director Martha Reeves accepted

and thanked all involved for the donation.

THE SCOTTISH RITE COLLEGE OF FREEMASONRY

During the term of the immediate Past Venerable Master and the present Venerable Master, the

Great Falls Valley has seen a rebirth of educational experiences. The reunions have continued to impart

their educational opportunities; added to that the Knights of St. Andrews is starting to come into its own.

The Knights organization is open to any Black Hat Scottish Rite member. At the present time it is

headed by Leonard Seymour and Keith Head. These brothers are willing to work with anyone interested

in further Masonic education. During the reunions they have augmented the teachings of the

communicated degrees through discussions with the candidates. Outside of the reunion setting they are

willing to work with anyone who wants assistance with the Master Craftsman programs. Leonard

Seymour has completed the three sections of that Supreme Council guided study.

In addition to that set of activities, Leonard is providing educational talks at our stated meetings.

With these talks he delves deeper into the development of Masonic teachings, history and lore. As an

example at the Feast of Tishri meeting, he took the brothers through the historical derivation of our

modern Feast. He took us back to the Egyptians and the symbolism that Masonry adapted from them,

through the development of the celebration of Sukkot developed by the Jews during the month of Tishri.

During this talk he used pictures of Egyptian hieroglyphs and live cuttings from plants that he obtained

from Israel. This retired PhD college professor and current safety officer for Steel Etc. is definitely doing

his part to make Great Falls Scottish Rite the educational body of Masonry in Great Falls. To continue

along these same lines, Leonard has developed a series of articles to stimulate thinking about Masonic

teachings and their place in our society. A cutting from one of these articles is contained on the following

page.

Secretary/Treasurer; Linda Fuller, Miss Linda Productions; Howard Enloe, Board President; Charles Stein,

and Erin Doran. Both Ferrin and Doran are members of the Downtown Great Falls Association. Erin signed

There were seven requisites for the Mason, which constitute the ancient outline of

knowledge. CAN YOU NAME THESE SEVEN? In the past, these expertise requisites

were understood as the Golden Chain of Homer. Yet we might be better acquainted with

the term, The Artes Liberales Liber, alternatively, in English, the Seven Liberal Arts and

Sciences. We can reduce the seven arts to the education of our minds, which include

intellectual proofs and deductive reasoning. We start to see that actions that help one

person, may not help all. We learn to avoid arguments that something is true or false

simply by who says it is, instead of its inherent truth. WHY TO WE DO THIS?

Understanding the truth must be the starting point of any investigation into the nature of

life in this “reality.” Starting anywhere else and the plot is already lost, never to be

recovered. The Golden Chain of Homer gives us the tools to see the real world as it is, not

the false one covering our eyes. WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE GOLDEN CHAIN

OF HOMER? Take an adventure as we explore a more in-depth look at these principles.

Looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without

tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odor or

fragrance, and talks without thinking. WHAT OR WHO DOES THIS? WHY IS THIS

DONE?

If you can answer the questions in the above, you do not need to join the

knights of St. Andrews. If you are like this writer you need to attend these

educational sessions.

Brothers Leonard Seymour and Keith Head hold meetings at the Scottish Rite after

the first of the year. Any Scottish Rite brother is invited to attend. If you not in this area

and wish to gain this knowledge, the wonders of email are available to you. You may

contact Leonard Seymour at his email: lenseymour@hotmail.com

DO DE DO DUES ARE DUE DO DE DO Dues notices will be in the mail by the end of November. At the present time we have 23

members who owe dues for this year with about six of those who are up for suspension

this year. If you are one of these brothers, please call the office if you are in financial

difficulty, and/or please send us a check. LIFE MEMBERS, if you have not paid the per

capita of $20.00 please do that. With the little amount we earn from investments your

lodge cannot afford to donate this money to the Supreme Council.
