PROPHETs And LAdiEs Of THE REALM:

The 121st Supreme Council Session was a great success. Congratulations to Past Grand Monarch Shuards Sutherland and his Lady, Susan, for a successful year and a fun-filled convention in Dearborn. Special thanks to my Installing Officer, Past Grand Monarch Clay Simons and the entire team who participated in my installation. The entire week was truly a “celebration,” as Shu had promised. Susan and I are looking forward to enjoying time with all of you as we travel the Realm, and plan to attend as many functions as possible.

We live in prosperity and freedom, and this year we want to pay special tribute to those who have served to protect that freedom. To honor our troops, Susan is promoting the Masonic Service Association’s Hospital Visitation Program. She has a Facebook page called Lady Susan’s Special Forces, with more information about the program and how to donate to this cause. It also encourages local volunteer projects with Veterans throughout the realm and recognition of our Prophets, Ladies and family members who serve or have served. Or feel free to just express your support of our Veterans on the page.

The Humanitarian Foundation is always close to our hearts. We support the Lantern Program and I have initiated a Key Player Program to encourage participation. Prophets purchasing Lanterns during the year will automatically receive a Key Player pin, which may be displayed on your fez during my year. Each of us holds the key to a smile for a Special Child, and I challenge every Prophet to be a Key Player this year.

The Humanitarian Foundation is also instituting new programs dedicated to Dental Care for Special Needs Children. All are designed to provide smiles for Special Children. If you’re not already familiar with the Smile Challenge—including the Forever Smiles Legacy Program, Smile Fest Dinners and more—you will be soon. We applaud and support these ideas to highlight the Program and raise the much needed funds for our Foundation. We hope to provide more smiles than ever in 2011-12.

We are continuing the HF Season’s Greetings in the Grotto Magazine. It offers an opportunity to send

Holiday Greetings to friends across the Realm in a way that provides more smiles to our kids. Don’t forget to send your greetings to the Humanitarian Foundation by November 1 (form on page 5).

In the last 12 months, we have welcomed 3 new Grottoes into the realm. It was my honor and pleasure, as Grand Monarch, to institute the newest Grotto—Ubar—July 23rd in Elizabethtown, PA. The new Grottoes and young Prophets are vital to our future, and we welcome them with open arms.

As always, the good things in life are tempered by loss. As most of you know, in July we also lost a much loved member of our Grotto family, Barbara Izzie. Barbara served the Grotto with dedication and enthusiasm and she will be missed dearly. No one will ever replace Barbara, but we welcome our new Supreme Council staff, Pat Phillips and Diane Culberson. They have already jumped right in during Barbara’s illness and I know we are in good hands with these ladies.

God Bless,Yours in Good fellowship,moe eVaNSGrand Monarch

Grotto Magazine4

INTroduCTIoN To GraNd moNarCh eVaNSBorn and raised in Jersey City, NJ, Moe attended St. Aloysius High School, then proudly served in the Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict. He is dedicated to supporting all the men and women of our military, past and present. Moe’s brothers Frank (Navy and Naval Reserve) and Alfred (Junior) (Army) also served in the military. Junior gave the ultimate sacrifice to his country, dying in combat in Vietnam.

After his enlistment, Moe worked construction in New York. He began fleeing the cold NY winters to work in South Florida, and relocated full-time in 1971. In his early years, he had several entrepreneurial ventures, including beauty salons and martial arts studios. After establishing himself in the construction business, he owned his own statewide construction company—along with a Personal Air Taxi Service to service and to accommodate his clients.

As a young man, Moe began jumping out of planes while they were airborne—on purpose, of all things. After reaching terra firma some 200+ times using this method, he decided to include the control panel in his landings. He held a commercial pilot’s license for years; however, flying his Cessna Skyhawk 172 was never just a business, it was a passion.

He is Past Master of Palm Lodge, founder and UD Master of Wellington Lodge, both in Palm Beach County. He is also Past District Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Florida. Moe received his 32nd degree in Scottish Rite KCCH, Royal Order of Scotland, and flew with the Flying Fez of Amara Shrine. He is Past Monarch of Sem-I-No Grotto, Past President of FSGA, Past President of SEGA and past SCDD.

Moe and Susan met at Bob Kermick’s SEGA Convention in Memphis in May of 2000 and married on then GM Chuck Davis’ Grotto cruise in December of 2002. Between them, they have 3 sons and 4 grandsons.

Moe is humbled by the legacy of those who have preceded him as Grand Monarch. He looks forward to contributing to that legacy in the coming year, while enjoying the fun and fellowship that is Grotto. He and Susan look forward to spending time with the Prophets and Ladies throughout the Realm in 2011-12.

GroTTo holIday GreeTINGSAs we begin Moe’s year as Grand Monarch, we look forward to traveling and spending time with old and new friends. The Humanitarian Foundation programs and endeavors are very dear to our hearts and we want this to be the most successful year ever in providing Smiles to Special Needs Children.

Last year, Shu and Susan initiated the Holiday Greetings in the Grotto Magazine. We plan to continue the Greetings this year and hope that everyone will participate. What a great opportunity to wish our Grotto Family the best of the Holidays and good wishes for the New Year! Every two Greetings provide the same revenue as an enchanted lantern. Please take this opportunity to send your Season’s Greetings across the Realm, while creating Smiles for our Special Children.

For a donation of $20.00 (US), you can have your name(s) placed in the insert or for $25.00 you can add a special greeting (50 letters or less). This opportunity would also give you a tax deductible donation for the year, helping the children our programs cover, while sending Holiday Greetings to all your Grotto family/friends. With the cost of postage these days, we thought this would be a fun, inexpensive way to send your greetings.

If you are interested, please complete the form below and enclose your check or credit card information and the Foundation office will process your request and see that your name and/or name and message are placed in the December magazine insert. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all in our travels!

Grand Monarch Evans and Susan encourage you to become part of one of the finest public relations program ever undertaken by the Masonic fraternity, the Masonic Hospital Visitation Program. Much more than just “visitations” to the disabled and lonely patients in V.A. Hospitals, State Veterans Homes and Extended Care Facilities, it is the rendering of personal services to all our sons and brothers, Masons and non-Masons alike, who now need someone to turn to for encouragement and to make their life a little more pleasant.

Little things mean a lot: a friendly smile, a warm handclasp, an embrace and a kind word can do as much for those who are lonely and depressed in a hospital or a nursing home as all the medicine doctors can prescribe. The Hospital Visitation Program is a vital part of our Fraternity that deserves your attention and needs your immediate help.

The hospital visitor is a liaison between you (the Lodge) and a hospitalized Brother. They keep the Brother and his Lodge in touch with each other, and whenever possible, they organize

the assistance of local Masons to serve the patients as volunteer visitors.

This program is carried on entirely by voluntary contributions! Contributions are received from Grand Lodges throughout the U.S. who vote special funds or assessments or who make appeals to the Craft. There are 172 Veterans Hospitals and many State Veterans Homes and extended care facilities across the country. To date there are Masonic volunteers in 159 of the VA Hospitals and over 40 State Veterans Homes and Military Hospitals.

If you have time and want to become involved in this program which will give you a great feeling of self-satisfaction and pride please write to:

Masonic Service AssociationHospital Visitation Program8120 Fenton Street, Suite 203Silver Spring, MD 20910-4785There is a training tape for anyone who wants to know what we

are trying to accomplish and explains in detail what is required of volunteers. All contributions to the MSA Hospital Visitation Program are tax deductible.

Grotto Magazine6

Charles A. Lindbergh is considered a hero, but first and foremost he was an explorer and adventurer. He also was a man who needed to try new things to test his limit and helped invent and enhance machinery. From the time in the summer of 1912 when he attended an air race, Charles became fascinated with airplanes.

After his poor grades caused him to be dismissed from engineering studies at the University of Wisconsin, he moved to Lincoln, Nebraska and enrolled in a flight school operated by Nebraska Aircraft Corps. Lindbergh borrowed $500 from his father in 1923 and purchased a WWI surplus Curtiss Biplane in which he made his first solo flight.

In 1927 when no one had as yet won the $25,000 prize offered by hotel owner, Raymond Orteig, interest began to heat up. Many aviators began to prepare their planes for a solo flight across the Atlantic. Noel Davis and Stanton Wooster crashed and died while testing their plane and American Legion Commander Byrd’s Fokker “American” cracked up and injured three crew members. Clarence Chamberlin and Levine Bellancio’s plane, named “Columbia” smashed up its landing gear. On May 8, 1927 two French aviators, Charles Nungrwsser, a WWI ace and Francis Coli, took off from Paris to New York City in an Oisean Blanc. They were never heard of again.

Lindbergh convinced nine businessmen to help fund the building of a plane to fly across the Atlantic. He helped the Ryan Aeronautical Company in San Diego to build the plane, a Curtis JN-4C single-engine monoplane, which he named “Spirit of St. Louis”.

Lindbergh called it a “two ton flying gas tank.” Everything possible that had any weight was sacrificed for more fuel capacity – no parachute, no radio, no brakes, not even a forward-facing window. He decided a small periscope would do! The Spirit of St. Louis was 27 feet long, and as the design evolved, the wings grew to 45 feet to help the 2,700 pounds (400 gallons) of gas. The rest of the airplane, engine with the pilot weighed 2,500 pounds. Lindbergh worked day and night to finish the plane within two months.

After a short test flight, Lindbergh, a 25-year-old U.S. Air Mail pilot, said he was ready to head down the rainy runway and make the solo non-stop flight. Reports came in of heavy fog over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and his flight was postponed for one day. On May 20, 1927 at Roosevelt Field in Garden City on New York’s Long Island, Lindbergh was ready to fly to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France to attempt what most said couldn’t be done by only one man: to fly solo across the Atlantic.

Lindbergh, who had joined the Masons just months before, wore the square and compass and his plane bore a Masonic emblem. He carried with him five sandwiches, drinking water, maps and

charts and some other items. He discarded a parachute, which was useless over the Atlantic, but did include a rubber boat, however he took no oars because of their added weight. It was all logical thinking, as well as his near-perfect navigation on the Paris flight. At 7:52 am Lindbergh took off, and due to all the fuel the plane carried, it bobbed up and down, barely clearing telephone wires at the end of the runway before finally taking off.

Just before nightfall, Lindbergh was above St. Johns, Newfoundland, and started to move across the Atlantic. He was compelled to fly blind at an altitude of 1,500 feet, and at times just 10 feet above the waves. Finally he flew over England and the Channel and sighted the lights of Paris at 10 o’clock, touching down at Le Bourget Field after 33 hours and 30 minutes.

The crowd of over 150,000 Frenchmen stormed the plane. The police moved Lindbergh and the plane inside a hanger for safety, however the engine log and the navigation log of the “Spirit of St. Louis” were stolen by someone in the crowd.

Lindbergh who married the shy and quiet Anne Morrow in 1927, taught her how to fly. She eventually got a pilot’s license and became his co-pilot. In 1944 Lindbergh served in the Pacific Theater in the capacity as a civilian technical assistant where he never saw combat. Flying sixty missions, he downed one enemy aircraft and ultimately received the Medal of Honor for his service to the country.

In 1972 Lindbergh contracted cancer. With his wife Anne at his side, he died on August 26, 1974 at their retreat on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. He chartered new air routes, fathered five children, wrote many books, fought in a war, promoted commercial aviation, global conservation and U.S. isolationism during his eventful 72 years! After his death Ann Lindbergh lived in England for a short time, then moved back to the United States. She went on to publish12 books including some of her diaries. In her later years she suffered a series of strokes that left her confused and disabled. She passed away on February 7, 2001 at the age of 94.

now you know the rest of the story of a shy six foot three inch man, who as a teenager had a fascination of speed and airplanes – “the Lone Eagle” who preferred to be called “slim.”

dear Prophets, Ladies & friends,I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their cards, flowers, plants, and prayers for me during my illness. I did not realize how many special and dear friends are in my life. It is overwhelming and I love each and every one of you!

I will miss everyone at this convention. It will be the 1st one I’ve missed in 17 years. I wish Shu & Susan a very successful convention! And I also wish Moe & Susan a great year!

I am still taking treatments and both of my doctors remain optimistic about the treatments and the results.

I really miss working with all of you and hope to be able to return to work in the near future!

Without a will your property, money, belongings and finances are settled according to state laws, not according to your wishes. If you want to share your “success in life” with the special needs children rather than the government, make a will

As little as 5% will make a huge difference, leaving 95% to your family.

Prophets and Ladies we must support these many projects. Remember it is for the many kids that we help with dental care. And, in these struggling economic times, there are a lot more kids that need our help.

Donald LaBarre, PGMFirst Vice President Humanitarian Foundation

PGm roberT W. ruSh aWarddr. oF SmIleS oF The year

I have been in the Grotto for 52 years. My family and I have enjoyed every moment of it, and, I believe every Prophet and Lady is a part of our family. The Grotto is a family oriented organization.

The Humanitarian Foundation has many projects going on such as the Enchanted Lantern program, Fairchild Society, Monarch Circle, Grand Monarch Circle, Fairchild Silver-Gold-Platinum Circles, and the Forever Smiles Legacy Society.

After investing years of your life in the Grottoes of North America, you can continue to empower the life of the work of the Grottoes for decades after you have gone by joining the Humanitarian Foundation’s Legacy Society. Making a lasting contribution to fund the dental work isn’t just for the wealthy. Every day, people just like us leave gifts in their wills to organizations like the Humanitarian Foundation. In doing so, they make a tremendous difference in the world they leave behind. All it takes is a will and the desire to make the Foundation’s important work live forever.

The PGM Robert W. Rush Award for the outstanding Dr. of Smiles of the Year was presented to PM Paul Moore from Bela Grotto. Paul has been a Dr. of Smiles at Bela Grotto for over 25 years. The Humanitarian Foundation acknowledges his efforts on behalf of the children in the Springfield/Greenfield Massachusetts area.

For more information, please watch the video about Paul on the foundation’s website: www.hfgrotto.com

This award and a check for $2,500 to use in their community charities was presented by PGM Wahl to Ozz Grotto, for the largest percentage increase for the number of children helped over last year.

The foundation wants to thank each one for their generosity and dedication to the many children that are helped through dental Care for Children with special needs and Cerebral Palsy Research. By virtue of their special needs, many children cannot receive traditional dental services. Our program combines a unique partnership with qualified dentists throughout the U.s. and Canada, helping these children with the best dental care possible. These generous contributions will help to make sure that the Charitable Trust will go into h to continue helping these special needs children for many years to come.

FERAMO GROTTOFt. Lauderdale, FloridaFeramo Grotto participated in the Challenger Baseball program for diabled children in Broward County, Florida. A stand was attended by the Monarch Bob Holland, Chief Justice Jim Jackson, Prophet Jerry Sherman and the secretary PM Sol. Goldenberg (who is also the tooth brush representative). The Feramo Grotto members were accompanied by the Child ID Committee Member of the 33rd Florida Masonic District and Clowns from the Mahi Shrine. Everyone who attended the event appreciated the efforts of the Grotto Members, the Masons and the Shrine for our service to the special needs children of our community.

Feramo Grotto, which has been growing in membership, thanks to the efforts of our PM Ira Markowitz, wishes Grand Monarch Moe Evans, also a Feramo member, a great year.
