All you Rangers out there need to be wearing your badges to shoots so people (Masons) will ask to be included. If you haven't ordered a badge yet ?? There should be some paperwork comming in for new members. We have rangers in 10 states, the roster should be growing in those areas.

There is going to be a good turnout of Rangers at the NCOWS National Shoot, June 20-23 in central KY. If your'e in that area it would be a great time to become a ranger, and join the most true to history WAS group out there at a reduced introductory rate at the Natl. Shoot. PM me for details. Meet on the level. jt

It will be worth the wait. jt

Trap is correct, the wait is worth it. I have my HR badge after an eight week wait. You will not regret ordering yours.

I am wearing mine as I have an intiation to do at the lodge tonight. I always get comments and questions when I show up in my authentic 19th century attire. Our lodge is quite casual so showing up in black pants, white shirt, black silk tie, black & white herring bone tweed vest and black frock coat makes quite a statement.

Rangers, if you have any spare time to read, here are a few good books that are worth your time. The Hiram Key and The Book Of Hiram, by Knight & Lomas. Rosslyn, Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail by Wallace-Murphy & Hopkins. Also I am a little mystified as to why there are not more Rangers being brought in to our ranks.? I know that when I have spoken to many of you there was interest from Brothers who you knew, If there is some problem let me know by PM. I can call you if you want , just let me know. Meet On The Level, jt

Frankly I think it would be a lot of fun but I don't attend the blue lodge enough to justify in my mind another membership in another Masonic based club. Of course I have four children at home still so I don't have much time. Some of my brothers belong to about a dozen different lodges, appendant bodies, and clubs and seem to be active in all of them. I don't know how they do it. Personally, I'm still trying to get my stuff together to actually do some CAS!! I do think it is great that youall have come up with a way to bring the brotherhood of the craft and CAS together. I know in some of the reenacting circles they have been able to have something similar and it adds a neat element to the hobby.

I too have had a problem with time management. I have been involved in the Brotherhood since '77. I was stationed in Japan and joined Kokusai Lodge #15 and enjoyed the fellowship. I never demited from my home lodge when I retired from the Air Force and this created a problem. During one of my last moves, the lodge got my address mixed up and we had a disconnect. When I finally got in touch with them, they told me I would have to reaply and be voted on to become a member in good standing again. This was how I was treated after being a member in good standing of this lodge for 25 years. Well to make a long story short, I was hurt, disgusted, and left the lodge.

I am now trying to get in touch with them again so I can demit and affiliate with a local lodge in my community. This is like trying to apply for disability through the social security office. I am so (expletive deleted) mad and discusted with this problem that I have just given up.

Rangers. I need a volunteer, our web-master is going to step down soon and I am not computer savy enough to take it over. I do have all the material on a disk , so hopefully it would be not too difficult to take over. Any volunteers? PM or call me at 620 256 5866. Meet on the Level. jt
