It is always a great day when you have all of the Grand Lodge Officers in the same location. We came to perform the re-dedication ceremony on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Parma Lodge. The brothers have invested hundreds of hour of sweat equity into this beautiful building, making it energy efficient, and allowing the antiquity of the building to meet the modern necessities, in a well rounded fashion, so that only the discerning eye can recognize the modern adjustments, such as the new stair climbers and the efficient window sashes. The Officers and members of Parma Lodge took great pride in their accomplishments today, and we were pleased to be a part of their celebration. The Chapel family and Fenemores were out in great fashion today. The last time I set foot in this edifice, Byron Chapel was serving as President of the Board of General Purposes, some 20 plus years ago. I enjoyed visiting with his grandsons today, and recalling the days of Grandpa. Nancy was there and rightly proud of her little brood. Its a great day to be a Michigan Mason.
