Where have I been
Great Question what has happened since 2019. I cant blame it all on Covid but like everyone else it had an effect on my lifestyle and my membership of organizations, Some more than others, getting a letter from one saying how disappointed they were in me not attending a zoom meeting and the future fallout from there on. so my mood took a dip and I became depressed when i was told not to attend any visitations in office regalia. This made me pretty mad and further depressed and with the hopes of ne leadership my position would improve but to no avail. so my depression continues added to by my health and family members health. But alas i have also been busy i am in my second year in the chair of the lodge & Council as Worshipful commander Noah. I am also Most Excellent Zerubbabel of the Royal Arch Chapter Craig Millar No 468 which does not meet until May 2024 and Finally after 2 previous senior offices I was installed Right Worshipful Master of St. John Whiteinch No 683 on 8th December 2023 these along with other masonic activities have greatly helped with my depression and also help with my health in a small way
