James L. Dove, Right Eminent Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar in Indiana, has issued a lapel pin for his year featuring artwork by Levant member, Sir Knight John Bridegroom of Vegetableman Graphics. The Knights of Levant Preceptory couldn't be happier with the image.

Masonic history, both real and legendary, has centered around the search for the true Word. The lessons taught in the Lodge leave the initiate with the sense of having almost, but not quite, discovered the much-to-be-desired object of his quest. The first steps to take along this road should naturally tie in closely and enrich the degrees you have already received. Such are the Chapter and Council degrees and the Orders of the Commandery in the York Rite. These Masonic degrees are not merely degrees, but are exemplifications of homely virtues often neglected and lost sight of in the busy lives we now live.
