Random Wisdom
Brotherly love is not a tangible commodity. We cannot touch it or weigh it, smell it of taste it. Yet it is a reality; it can be creative, it can be fostered, it can be made a dynamic power. The Master who has it in his Lodge and his brethren will find that Lodge and brethren give it back to him. The Master too worried over the cares of his office to express friendliness need never wonder why his Lodge seems too cold to his effort.

Brethern,
As some of you know Donna Gnagy, a life member of Stone City OES, and member of El Rey Daughters of Mokanna recently had to have a hip replaced. She is currently at Avon Oaks in recovery.
I as Master of Stonington Lodge recieved a call that Donna was in need of a wheelchair ramp at her home, and that she requested the Lodge build this ramp if it could be done.
While Donna supplied the material, Stonington Lodge would supply the Knowledge, Skill and Labor. Thinking this through I realized that our youngest Fellow Craft Larry Gartcher had the knowledge and skill.
I explained to Larry who Donna was and what had happened, it is beyond my words to express the feeling I got when he agreed to perform this service out of his good will expecting nothing in return. A Man still in the midst of his Masonic Journey travelling through the Degrees willing to give of himself in Charity for a women he had never met.
Larry took charge of the project, got everything handled and requested some help with labor. I am pleased to say that thanks to the help from Brother Quinones and Brother Bradley (If there is anyone I missed please let me know) as the Labor and Brother Gartcher as the Knowledge, Donna’s ramp was installed this morning, in a fashion that it can be removed when she no longer needs it. Out of these three Brothers only one has ever met Donna.
This Brethren is what Masonry is about, this project is the last under my watch as Master of Stonington Lodge and I can not have hoped to end on a better note. Gratitude is something that at times is lost in the world we live in. Please know that I and Stonington are forever grateful for the help from these Brothers who came together for someone they don’t know because that is what Masons do.
