Well, the news of the day is that I spoke to my mentor, who also happens to be the Lodge secretary. He told me that as the Lodge is dark during the summer, he's having a lot of trouble getting together enough people to do my Fellowcraft degree, so we're going to have to wait until September. This is disappointing, but I think the lesson in patience is good. Besides, I'll have a lot of time this summer to work on the Lodge's new homepage, and maybe I'll have a chance to get ahold of the Worshipful Master and show him what I've got.

Bro. George Tucker shared the web page for Littleville Lodge #881 in the Grand Lodge of Alabama on our new mailing list. I also found on the web an interesting research paper entitled "What Does the Finnish Freemason Believe In?". It is interesting reading! Only marginally related to Freemasonry is this page dedicated to A. E. Waite, a very prolific writer who wrote at least one book on Freemasonry and was involved in such groups as the Golden Dawn.
