Historians have written the only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence, Missouri. On top of that, his wife inherited the house from her Mother. When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year.

Greetings Brothers: We have another petition that was read
and the investigation committee will be reporting back soon.
The State of Michigan has provided us with a number for a gaming license and Brother Richard has set up a tentative date for charity poker week end. The dates are July 16, 17 18 & 19 and we could use some help during the 4 evenings that we have it. Richard has a sign up list and is split up into 2 shifts. This is a good money maker as all of the Lodges that could use a little extra money to help with the winter bills. Call me for more information if you would like to help.
Brothers, please SEND YOUR
DUES, if you have not done so already. We would like to have this completed by the end of April 2009.
If anyone needs petitions please call, I will be glade to help. We need to reach out to those qualified men to join our fraternity.
We are trying to grow our email list, so you brothers that have an email address drop us an email to The Secretary ([email protected]). Also keep us up dated if you change your phone number or get a cell phone. Some of you brothers are dropping your land line and only have cell phones now. Please make sure that you can get us the information to keep you informed. We are always updating the roster for you brothers to use. Also, if you have an email address and would like to receive the Masonic news via email instead of snail mail let me know and I will add you to the list. This also saves on postage costs and the on-line Masonic News is sometimes in color.
If you have any suggestions or comments please contact me I would love to hear from you.
Our next Regular Communication will be May 11, 2009 at 7:30pm, Brothers please attend if you are able, and we need your support and would like to see your smiling faces.

http://aaf262.org 2nd WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH - 7:00 pm
Brethren:
Masonry continues to prosper in Ann Arbor. In March, we passed eight brothers to the degree of Fellowcraft and in April we will raise three to the degree of Master Mason (4/22/09, 6:20pm, Hathaway's Hideaway). We will also be holding a bi-lodge Table Lodge on Wednesday, April 29th at the Ann Arbor Masonic Temple. All Masons (of any degree) are welcome to attend. The Table Lodge is an extremely enjoyable event that usually only happens once per year. Please check the trestle board at www.aaf262.org for more details and RSVP information.
In addition to our degree work, there will be increased focus this year on maintaining a balance of our Masonic activities, including fellowship and charity. If you would like to help plan a charity event, please contact me or Bob Hospadaruk.
I would like to congratulate Senior Warden Bob Blackburn for writing a fine article about Masonry in Ann Arbor, which was published in the April edition of the Ann Arbor Observer.
Also, Brother Bob Hospadaruk has shown his artistic side by designing a shirt for the lodge (keep your eyes open for the order form). Thanks to all for the enthusiasm.
For further details on scheduled lodge events, please check the trestle board.
Please keep in your thoughts our Brothers and family who may be in sickness or distress.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Chris Fultz

York Chapter had several new Brothers receive the Royal Arch Degree a short time ago. We are encouraged that most of them are stepping forward to assist us in our Officer Line and other functions. Working together we can grow and prosper.
We have another Brother who wishes to receive the “TRUE WORD” and therefore we have asked those Companions in the surrounding area to assist us in putting on the Royal Arch Degree on Wednesday, May 13th.
We Need Your Help and Support!!! Please come out. Are you willing to do, or give and
honest effort to attempt to do, a small or large part? Contact either the High Priest David or the Secretary John and let them know of your desires. Wouldn’t it be great if Milan was willing and able to do all of the parts and our visitors could only watch and admire our proficiency.
The next Joint York Rite Southeaster Michigan Association Meeting will be held in Ypsilanti on Monday, June 29th. Washtenaw Chapter No. 6 will be hosting this event. We need to begin attending the Chapter events in the area. It is through this that we can begin to get better attendance at our events and activities.
At this Joint Meeting they will be discussing the upcoming legislation to come before the 3 Grand York Rite Bodies of Michigan. We need to be kept in the know so that we can be more prepared to allow our voices to be heard.
A couple of dates to remember. May 10th – Mother’s Day. Surprise
that special Lady in your life. May 25th – Memorial Day. Take time
out to reflect and thank all who are currently serving to protect you and yours but also all who have done so, so that you can enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy.
Greetings Friends & Companions, Wow!!! It is amazing how fast
everything is going this year. I guess maybe my parents and grandparents were right. Time goes by much faster as you get older. This is when time should slow down a little so that we can enjoy everything a little more.
Allen Christ has again volunteered to step forward and to assume the reigns of Washtenaw Chapter No. 6 for another year, beginning after the May 14th Stated Convocation in Ypsilanti.
Our August 17th meeting will be in Ann Arbor at the Calvary Methodist Church at 1415 Miller Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 (which is at the southern base of Newport Road). The motion to move was passed at the April Meeting and send to the Grand Chapter for approval. I have spoken with the Grand High Priest and he has stated that he will approve of the move. Now just waiting to receive back the formal paperwork so that it becomes official.
The meetings will again begin at 7 pm and always opened by Chapter, when it is a joint meeting.. We are hopeful that this new meeting place will encourage each of you to again attend our meetings, as we will be back into the local area.
We will be meeting on the 3rd Monday evening for the Business Meetings and the 4th Monday evenings for the Degree Work.
Speaking of Degree Work. We are going to go to Milan, York Chapter 150 on the 13 of May to assist them in putting on the Royal Arch Degree. Let’s plan on being there a little before 7 so that we can help them get set up and make sure that everything is ready. It has been awhile since they have done this degree so they need all of us present to assist and encourage.
On May 21st we will be conducting the Mark Master Mason Degree in Ypsilanti. You still have time to get your petition for the degrees in to either Allen Christ or
Companions and Friends: The deed is done. We have approved
the move to a new Crypt (Cave) will actually to the Calvary Methodist Church at 1415 Miller Road in Ann Arbor where we will meet, assuming approval of Grand Council, on Monday August 17th at 7 pm with Washtenaw Chapter and Ann Arbor Commandery.
It being the 8th month of the Year it means that upon the close of the Joint Meeting that we will open and close the Council in prescribed form. Bring your ritual with you, in case you are a little rusty on that part of the work. If you cannot find your ritual, we can assist you. No worries.
We will be having a practice in Ypsilanti on 18 May for the Select Masters Degree. We have several speaking, large and small and several non-speaking parts which we need to fill. Please come out at the rehearsal and begin preparations to help us.
We will be putting on the Select Masters Degree in Ypsilanti on Monday the 15th of June in Ypsilanti.
Other Companions from around the area are welcome and encouraged to attend.
You may bring additions candidates to this/these degree. The more the merrier.
Don’t forget to come to Ypsilanti on Monday, June 29th as that is the date for Washtenaw Chapter to host the Southeastern Michigan Joint York Rite Association Meeting. Dinner will be at 6:15 pm and the meeting will start at 7 pm.
The purpose of this organization is to meet in friendship and fellowship fellow Companions from around the area. To go over the events of each of these bodies and to, at this time of the year, go over those pieces of legislation that we be covered at the 3 Grand Sessions of the York Rite on August 5th – 9th at Holiday Inn Gateway Plaza in Flint, off of US 23 south of I-75.
No meeting of the Ann Arbor Joint York Rite in the Month of July. See you at
the Grand Council.

Also, to inform the uninformed of what your organization is, what it is doing, whom it is helping, how it is helping.
If YOUR members are not informed of YOUR events and activities, you can not blame them for not attending and supporting you.
