Brother Dudes! Sister Dudettes!

It's me. :)

Not really a newsletter, just a seasons greetings kind of thing.

From our house to yours... http://gbp.net/masonicshop//holiday/indexXMAS.html

It's that time of the year again. A time of joy. A time of sadness.

Joy because of the festive season. And a mixture of joy and sadness as we reminisce of times past. And friends passed. (And, as you'll see below, a friend, a Brother... a giant among Masons has gone to sit with the GAOTU)

It's a crazy time as we shop for that special gift for those special folks. But when the dinner is finally devoured and the last present is unwrapped... it's inevitable that we sit and ponder... what was, what is, what shall be.

It's a hectic season, a peaceful season, a sad season, a joyous season oddly all rolled in to one. Quite unique.

ON A SAD NOTE...

rtj's Junqueyard. Everybody knows about good ol' Brother Dick James's site... http://gbp.net/rtj/ (Unique Masonic coins, dogtags, lapel pins and more. Including Vietnam & Korean Vets coins!)

Well, our dear Brother passed on December 7, 2012. He will be missed greatly. A truly Masons Mason. Loved by all he met whether in person or on line. RIP, my Brother.
