Joe Brooks: 50 Year Scottish Rite Mason

At the April 18th Scottish Rite Reunion, Valley of Atlanta, WB Joe Brooks, Past Master of Gate City Lodge No 2, had the opportunity to serve as classroom director. Several of those present noticed a new "device" on Brother Brooks's white cap -- a Fifty Year Scottish Rite pin. It seems he crossed that anniversary on the Ninth of April and persuaded the Valley Secretary to issue the pin so he could wear it for the Reunion.

Bro. Brooks promises to be surprised at the Fifty Year luncheon in August.
