Text Box: It’s not hard to recognize that humanity needs moral and ethical leaders who are not afraid to stand and voice their opinions on what’s right and what’s wrong in today’s society. I believe that all Masons everywhere should accept this challenge with pride, remembering our oath and obligations, for we have been duly and truly prepared to do so. In 2 decades as an entertainer I have had the opportunity to meet other traveling Brothers and I visit Lodges all over the country. It has been an honor to have written and performed the song “The Masonic Ring” for so great a fraternity of Brotherhood. There’s no greater feeling after performing this song than to have large numbers of people say, “How can I become a Mason?” or to have a Brother say, “I’m a Mason, try me.” I asked the Grand Architect of the Universe to give me the words and the wisdom to be able to take up the pen so that I may speak to and from the hearts of all Brothers and listeners through the lyrics of “The Masonic Ring”. Let us be the friend to all that we would hope to find ourselves. Fraternally yours, Brother Howie Damron Reprinted from the Grand Lodge of Ohio website.

Text Box: "A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in
the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs, and I was in the wrong one. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. Big breaths," I instructed. Yes, they used to be," remorsefully replied the patient.
