Pote’s Notes
Nobles and Ladies,
The 2015 year has officially started and with it comes
the honor of being your Potentate and representing you
around the state and at functions both in our region and nationally. I will continue the same
efforts as the many Potentates
who have held this position before me.
It was interesting to look
out over the large crowd in attendance at the installation and
know the history and knowledge
sitting in that room.
Lady Theresa and I had
the most remarkable time both
Friday night at Past Potentate
Rod Waeckerlin’s home and
then again on Saturday at the
Temple.
Those of you in attendance know that everything went
without any problems; just like
the “well-oiled machine” I knew it
would be. For those of you not
there, I should admit to leaving
several gifts in the trunk of my
car and in the middle of the introductions having to ask my
daughter if she might go get
them. We all had a good laugh
and moved forward.
Having my Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law, and Motherin-law, in attendance was a special blessing. It’s unusual as
they all tell me to mention they
are younger than I am.
During the ceremony,
somehow, my gavel disappeared. Lady Theresa had a
back-up gavel and it also disappeared. I have since received a
ransom email with specific demands for the return of both
gavels and will endeavor to
meet those demands. But, if any
Nobles across the state happen
to see gavels laying around give
me a call.
We have started our visitation schedule with our first being in Cheyenne. I can’t begin to
tell you how much fun we all
had. We started the evening
with our friends, Noble Wolf and
Lady Kim, driving us around the
city, the very professional Legion of Honor greeting us at the
Club, and then great food and
fellowship lasting into the early
hours of the morning.
I am truly humbled by the
response of Shriners, some traveling across the entire state to
attend our first dinner. Thank
you!
Lady Theresa introduced
her project to the group. She
has named it “Shriners helping
children Color their way”. The
project gives children who need
prosthetics the ability to create
their own designs for the surrounding cover. The kids can
design rainbows to unicorns and
it is all their own work. The cost
of these covers is expensive;
ranging up to $1000. So her
hope is to allow these children,

Some Words from the HP&P
Greetings and Salutations Nobles:
As many of you are
familiar, it has become a yearly
event for us to raise money for
the Korein Shrine Temple
through $52 Club Ticket Sales.
These ticket sales benefit the maintenance and operation costs of our Temple in
Rawlins. Our goal is to sell all
800 tickets, but it will take full
participation. If we accomplish
this, our net proceeds will total
$41,600.
Please help make a
difference in our Shrine community by contributing to the
success of this superb event.
Try to create new strategies,
and positive, upbeat approaches to boost your sales poten-
tial.
In the spirit of “thinking
outside the box”, I am challenging each club to increase their
2014 sales. The Club that has
the highest percentage of ticket
sales over last year will receive
a crisp $100 bill from me personally, to celebrate however
you see fit.
Here are some ideas to
help get this sales rally started.
Ticket Selling Tips:
Have the raffle tickets in
hand whenever possible

Sell face to face

While selling to the public, wear your fez. Let them
see you supporting our organization

Explain why you are raising funds

Explain the odds of
winning to your potential
buyers. It’s a win-win for
both them and the Korein
Shrine
I will be reaching out every
two weeks for a status report
on ticket sales and look forward to hearing about your
success.
Please note that tickets
must be returned by the week
of May 24th, and we expect
every club to actively participate.
Good luck in the challenge, (but remember that MY
sales are 50 tickets on average, ha ha).
Yours in the faith,
Frank Selby

llustrious Sir, J. Michael Reed
Korein Temple,
Greetings from the East and great hopes this New Year is all you want.
With this New Year comes opportunity for new beginnings, both in our lives and in the
Korein Shrine Temple. Each year we have a few money raising events across our region, but few are as important as the 52 Club raffle.
This fund raising effort offers our Shrine the ability to raise money for the support of
our temple and Korein Shrine. Last year we raised over $18,000 with over $10,000
dollars cleared after prize money was sent out.
This year we can do even better. Keep in mind this is one time we can give nonShriners the chance to help our cause and at the same time a wonderful chance for
them to make money. (much better odds than the Lottery)
I am looking forward to seeing each of you at our visitations around the state and encourage you to actively sell the 52 Club tickets to your community and community
leaders. I am never surprised when I am called and asked for more tickets from past
winners.
Let’s give everyone a chance to help us, help children.
Yours in the faith.

Pote’s Notes
of special circumstances, to
dream a little and decorate the
wonderful prosthetics we supply
with a personal cover. At this
first visitation, I am proud to tell
you, she has already raised over
$4000.
Many of our regular fundraisers are starting, or are being
organized. We have kicked off
this year’s 52 Club sales under
the watchful eye of High Priest
and Prophet Frank Selby. This is
one of the few sources of income specifically for the Temple. We are already using the
money for updates. We have a
professional working on the boiler and the Directors Staff has
agreed to find a replacement ice
machine. As we get our investments realigned I will be approaching the building committee about other updates, which
(continued from page 2)
are necessary prior to having
other discussions.
Another event we all look
forward to is the North – South
Shrine Bowl. Tickets will be sent
to you and I hope we double the
response we had last year. The
ticket sales go directly to the
hospital and are a reflection of
our dedication to that cause.
I didn’t know our sales
last year were only 20% of the
tickets sent out. If we could double that number and have 40%
sold the money going to the children would be considerable.
Again, as with the 52 Club tickets, feel free to sell them to a
non-Shriner and give them a
chance to help the children.
I am happy to announce
the addition of Jack Reisig from
the Lander Club as Oriental
Guide, and Tim Forbis from here
in Cheyenne as 1st Ceremonial
Master for the Divan.
For the first time in a few
years we have a full elected Divan and more. Both of these
Nobles have a great background in Masonry and Shrine.
Both are well versed in business
and will be great additions for
future decisions. Please thank
them for their dedication the
next time you see them.
I will close by saying
Lady Theresa doesn’t see the
humor in me showing up to bed
with pajamas, my new Indian
Head dress and Winchester
Hunting knife. It may be a long
year for her.
Yours in the faith,
Potentate J. Michael Reed

Adoption of Ethiopian Girl Gives Her More Than A Family
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah
family has given an Ethiopian
girl more than a chance to live
the American dream. Medical
care available at only a few hospitals in the country, including
one right here in Salt Lake City,
also is giving Selamawit Abbott
a longer life.
"We will love her forever," said Selam's adoptive mother, Tiffany Abbott, of West Jordan. "We have made a commitment to her and to her life. We'll
do anything for our children."
She and her husband,
Brad Abbott, were able to bring
Selam home from Ethiopia in
August, and within two months,
the 10-year-old girl is already
sitting straighter and standing at
least 4 inches taller.
Selam was born with a
severe form of progressive scoliosis, and because it wasn't treated at an early age, her spine
continued to curve in ways that
would eventually compromise
her breathing and lung function,
ending in an early death, said
Dr. Jacques D'Astous, an orthopedic surgeon at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Salt Lake
City. He is overseeing Shriners'
care of Selam, while she is seen
by doctors at Primary Children's
Hospital.
Shriners is using halo
traction to help stretch and
straighten Selam's spine as
much as possible prior to her
Oct. 24 spine surgery.
The treatment, which
gradually adds weights up to 40
percent of a person's body
weight on a pulley system that is
connected to the skull, is not offered at many medical facilities
as it is expensive and requires a
lengthy hospital stay, D'Astous
said. The primary objective, he
said, is to "improve and maintain
lung volume."
He said Selam was "very
close" to experiencing major
health problems due to the curvature of her spine, calling hers
"one of the worst" cases he's
seen.
She is attached to the
weights 24 hours a day for 30
days before the surgery. She
uses a wheeled walker that
holds the weights during the
day, and a bed rigged with a
similar suspension system also
puts weighted pressure on her
spine while she sleeps.
Nurses closely monitor
patients on halo traction to
watch for neurologic damages,
including paralysis, that can be
caused by overstretching.
D'Astous likened Selam's condition to a ripening tomato plant
that continues to sag and hunch
over with time.
"It would have been fatal
had she not come to the United
States," he said.
Doctors plan to place
magnetic growing rods in
Selam's spine, also helping to
straighten it further, giving her
increased strength and stability.
Shriners sees an average of six
patients requiring halo traction
each year, most of them from
outside of Utah, D'Astous said.
The local hospital is one
of Shriners' 22 in the country
serving patients up to age 18
with
orthopedic
conditions,
burns, spinal cord injuries and
cleft lip and palate. It offers the
services regardless of a patients'
ability to pay.
Tiffany Abbott said she
knew little about the local
Shriners facility until she was
referred there with Selam, but
believes the treatment the entire
family has received is invaluable.
"It has helped to be able to be
with her and have the family
here because we are in this critical adjustment phase where
bonding is so important," she
said.
She said Selam has
been cooperative with the treatment and is "quickly adapting" to
life in the family. An Amharic
language translator told the family that Selam is happy and
doesn't wish to return to her native country, where she had
been living in a transition home
leading up to her adoption.

Remembering Why I Became A Shriner
Randy Rudge, Membership
Development Director
If you were asked, “What
does your Shriner membership
mean to you,” how would you
respond?
A few years ago, I was
asked to do a Shriner membership presentation. I worked for
months preparing what I would
say and do. But, the night before
the presentation I realized that it
was nothing like I wanted it to
be. So I decided I wasn’t going
to do a presentation at all. I was
going to listen.
At the beginning of each
workshop, I had each member
think about and write down why
he became a Shriner. Then, I
asked each to write his two
proudest
moments
as
a
Shriner. I realize that for many it
was hard to pick just two, but I
wanted the first two memories
that came to mind.
What the attendees didn’t know was that each of them
was going to share what he had
written. That became the most
inspirational workshop I have
ever participated in.
What we heard were the
true tenants of Freemasonry and
the principles of our Shriners
Creed. While there were inspiring stories regarding the children
we serve in our hospitals, many
of the stories dealt with the
brotherly love and fellowship
that are only achieved by being
a member.
When I think back about
my membership, I think about
the incredible friends I have
made and how they have become my extended family. How
they have lent a hand and listened when I was in need,
shared a laugh, dedicated their
time and made me their friend.
But most of all, I think of my
membership as an incredible
bond between me and my father.
I remember the pride he
expressed when I became a
Shriner, all the responsibilities I
took on, and the endless discussions with our mutual friends.
And the fun we had together.
My dad passed away
four years ago on March 6, after
a long illness. During his illness,
he had not been out of the
house for many months, but
he decided to attend a Shriners’
function. At the event, we sat
him in a chair and noble after
noble came up to him to shake
his hand and say hello.
Dropping him off at his
home later that evening, I gave
him a hug and said goodnight. I
will always remember him looking back at me with tears in his
eyes and thanking me.
That was the last time he
went out in public.
After listening to many
stories similar to mine during the
workshop, I asked the attendees
what they learned from the exercise. What they said was that
they experienced a lot of emotion, pride, love and fellowship in
that room.
My message is simple:
As Shriners and leaders, it is our
responsibility to guide others so
that they achieve the same pride
and fellowship we experience as
Shriners. When we do, our organization will prosper.
Masonic Biography of Brother Geo. Washington
The two Lodges most
closely associated with George
Washington are Fredericksburg
Lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, his Mother Lodge and Alexandria-Washington Lodge at Alexandria, Virginia, where he was
elected Charter Master under
the Grand Lodge of Virginia.
No precise date can be
found when the Lodge at Fredericksburg was chartered. The
date of its first meeting is usually
ascribed as September 1, 1752,
under a dispensation from the
Provincial Grand Lodge of the
Colony of Massachusetts. The
Lodge was granted a charter on
July 21, 1758, by the Grand
Lodge of Scotland.
Washington was initiated
an Entered Apprentice on November 4, 1752, passed to Fellowcraft on March 3, 1753, and
raised to Master Mason on August 4, 1753.
The Lodge at Alexandria,
Virginia was first warranted by
the Provincial Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania on February 3,
1783, as Lodge No. 39.
George Washington attended
a St. John the Baptist Celebration of the Lodge in June of
1784. He was later made an
Honorary Member of the
Lodge.
On April 22, 1788, the
Lodge received a Charter from
the Grand Lodge of Virginia as
Alexandria Lodge No. 22. The
Lodge asked Washington to
be its Charter Master under
the Virginia Charter and he
agreed.

Do You Have A Masonic Elevator Speech Ready?
An elevator speech is
one that you can deliver to one
or more persons while taking a
brief elevator ride. It may be 30
seconds, or 1 minute long. It
must summarize and provide an
important message in a minimum of words.
For example, you step
onto the elevator with a business associate, who says,
"What is that lapel pin you have
on?" By the time you reach his
or her destination on the 3rd
Floor, you should be able to say
it is a Masonic pin, and state a
few positive things about your
membership or about the organization.
How many times has an
opportunity similar to that happened to you, but you quickly
answered and hoped the other
person would change the subject?
How often, when you
thought about the opportunity
later, did you wish you would
have been ready to produce a
short, intelligent response?
The time to prepare your
"elevator speech" and explain
Freemasonry and what it means
to you – is now – before that
chance arises.
The opportunity may
come on the street corner; it
may occur as you are departing
from church; it could materialize
in a fast-food line as you are
waiting to order.
Some Masons believe
the lack of having such an
"elevator speech," is why membership is not advancing as it
should. Too often, Masons are
reluctant to speak up about their
Masonic membership. Too often, they are not prepared to say
something positive, and so don't
say anything.
Too often, they just feel
unqualified to be that needed
"public relations" representative
for our Fraternity.
In the Indiana Freemason magazine in 2013, George
Burkley, a Past Master of Tyrian
Lodge #12 in Goshen, IN, presented his views on the need for
an "elevator speech." If someone would say to Brother
Burkley, as they were entering
an elevator, "I hear you are a
Mason. What's that all about?"
here is what he might say:

Freemasonry
is
the
world's oldest and largest
fraternal organization for
men over the age of 18. We
are dedicated to serving our
members and their families
through building relationships, social networking, and
activities with our members
and in the community.

Freemasonry is not a
religion but it is an organization where every member
must profess a belief in God.

Freemasonry is not a
charity but it is an organization that sponsors numerous
charities, for example (and
here he names charity endeavors that his Lodge,
Grand Lodge, or one of his
appendant bodies in Freemasonry supports).

And finally, Freemasonry
is not a volunteer organization but it is an organization
where its members voluntarily bind themselves together
to make themselves, and
their community, a better
place. Personally, my closest friends outside my family
are members of the Masonic
Fraternity.
Masonic Facts
The conventional establishment of Freemasonry
is usually dated to 1717,
when the Grand Lodge of
London emerged on the 24th
June. The emergence of this
Grand Lodge marks the beginning of Grand Lodges governing other lodges.
The third degree did
not exist at the beginning of
Freemasonry. In fact, it only
started in the 1720s, and it
took quite some time to
spread through Masonic lodges.
Charles Darwin was a
Freemason. Darwin became
a Freemason in Scotland,
and his grandfather and son
also were Freemasons.
Freemasons played a
great part in the Enlightenment. In the late 1700s they
helped reform society. Since
always, Freemasonry has valued human consciousness
and reason, and these values
were transmitted to the Enlightenment, when people
were fighting for freedom of
worship and speech, public
education and a democratic
government.
Freemasons
were
also the first advocates of
equality. The fraternity has
always disregarded social
distinctions and was one of
the first organizations in the
world to believe all men are
equal.

Pearl Harbor – Masonic Connections
The disastrous attack by
Japan against the United States
at Pearl Harbor on December 7,
1941, resulted in some Masonic
connections.
Henry C. Clausen, later
to become the Sovereign Grand
Commander of the Supreme
Council, Scottish Rite, Southern
Jurisdiction of the U.S., was assigned in 1944 by the U.S. Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson,
to conduct one of the many investigations of the Pearl Harbor
attack in 1941. He conducted his
extensive investigation during
1944 and 1945, while he was in
the Judge Advocate General's
Corps of the U.S. Army, a Major
and then Lieutenant Colonel.
Fox said that Clausen
"concluded it was absurd to assume any complicity on the part
of President Roosevelt or General George C. Marshall" for the
Pearl Harbor attack, but instead
Clausen blamed communications problems and an unworkable system of military intelligence. (Conspiracy theorists
might say that Clausen, the
Freemason, found that Roosevelt and Marshall, also Freemasons, were not to blame.)
In the book At Dawn We
Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl
Harbor, by Gordon W. Prange,
which is the most extensive
book about the attack, the author refers to Clausen's appointment to investigate the Pearl
Harbor attack saying that Stimson "had an excellent eye for a
good man and could recognize
efficiency when he saw it." He
also says: "Clausen's judicious
gaze reflected the astute lawyer
which he was. Something in his
eyes also revealed a touch of
the mystic, a quality which led
him to become a deeply committed Freemason of the thirty-third
Degree."
In Clausen's own book
about his Pearl Harbor investigation, Pearl Harbor: Final
Judgement, with Bruce Lee,
published in 1992, shortly before
his death, Clausen mentioned
Freemasonry several times.
At pages 56-57 he wrote:
"So I called upon Harry Truman
and met him for the first time. He
was cooperative, but stiffer and
more formal than I had expected. . . . he didn't respond
with any enthusiasm. Then I told
him: "When you were the Grand
Master of the Masons in Missouri, I was Grand Orator of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of California." Hearing this, Truman literally jumped up from his chair,
came around the desk and began shaking my hand vigorously. "You'll have my complete cooperation, Henry," he promised,
and he immediately began to put
his words into action."
At page 149 he wrote:
". . . MacArthur asked me some
personal questions. I told him
that when the war began, I had
been the Grand Orator of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of California, and I congratulated him, as I
later did President Truman, on
being made a thirty-third-degree
Scottish Rite Mason.
"He kept me in his office
for nearly another hour, talking
about how to expand in the Far
East the moral principles of
Freemasonry. Every dictator in
history has tried to put the Masons out of business because
they believe in freedom. MacArthur was positive that Hitler had
poisoned the minds of the Japanese against the Masonic Order
for this very reason, and that
was why even the Constitution
of Japan forbade anyone from
joining the order. MacArthur
promised me that if and when he
got to Japan, he was going to
make sure that provision was
eliminated from any future Con-
stitution. He did, too.
"'Since we're talking in
this fashion,' I said, 'may I tell
you about the plight of some
Masonic people in Manila? . . .
Would there be any objection,
General, to my using the military
mail to send over some implements that are used to start up
the Masonic Lodge, items such
as rods, Bibles and so forth?'
'Absolutely not,' MacArthur said. 'I'm a Mason. My G-2,
Willoughby, is a Mason. We'll
make the arrangements for
you.'
"Well, Willoughby went
overboard. He told me to send
anything I wanted. . . . MacArthur was also instrumental in
getting confiscated property in
Manila and Japan returned to
the Masons, and the Order has
had the basis to flourish in both
places and inculcate the spiritual
values MacArthur recommended."
Perhaps because of
these comments, in Scapegoats:
A Defense of Kimmel and Short
at Pearl Harbor, by Edward L.
Beach, the author, a retired U.S.
Navy
Captain,
said
that
Clausen's book particularly faulted Admiral Kimmel and General
Short for what happened at
Pearl Harbor and other U.S. areas in December 1941, and laid
qualified blame on President
Roosevelt.
"Significantly, he places
no fault on either General Marshall or General MacArthur but
took pleasure insofar as General
MacArthur was concerned in the
fortuitous fact that he and MacArthur were both thirty-second
degree Masons. As he explains
it, this fact itself exonerates
MacArthur of any fault."

John Cundall: Teacher, Coach, Shrine Bowl CEO
My name is John Cundall
and I live in Rock Springs with
my wife, Kris. I am a teacher at
RSHS and Kris is the principal at
Walnut Elementary. Besides my
teaching, I have also been the
Executive Director of the Shrine
Bowl All-Star Football game for
the past two years. This upcoming 42nd annual game will be
played on June 13th at 2:00 PM
in Casper at NCHS.
I have taught and
coached for over 25 years so I
have seen a lot of things change
over the years in terms of the
education of our youth. The one
thing that has stayed consistent,
however, has been that we have
great kids here in Wyoming.
A big part of what I have
done over the years besides
teaching math and business has
been coaching football. I have
many great memories of my
times at the various schools
where I have spent time. The
positive relationships that I’ve
built with students, parents and
staff are memories that I cherish
and won’t ever forget.
I was fortunate enough
over the years to have coached
in the Shrine Bowl multiple
times. The first time I ever
made the trip to the hospital in
Salt Lake City, it was something
that profoundly affected me and
was a very special experience.
When I saw the care that the
patients and families receive
there, it really brought into focus
what the Shrine Bowl was all
about. I have believed since
then that it is a trip that everyone
should take.
The trip to Salt Lake
makes a person very humble
when we think about the gifts of
health that most of us enjoy. It
really just makes all of us take
stock of the gifts we’ve been given. The people there do such
great work and they are a blessing for those that need the help.
With this in mind when
the Shriner’s needed someone
to help take over the Shrine
Bowl Director duties, it was
something that I just felt very
strongly about. I decided that it
was something with which I
would like to stay involved. It is
a way for me to give something
back for a game that’s been
great for my family and myself.
I personally appreciate
the work of the Shriners and the
22 Shrine hospitals found nation
wide. There have been over
one million patients treated by
the Shrine hospital system, one
of which is a young man I had
the opportunity to coach when I
was in Gillette. I have seen first
hand the difference that you and
your peers make
I am always the eternal
optimist and believe that as
good as things are, we can always strive to do things better.
With this in mind, I ask that each
of us do our part to raise money
in the name of the Shrine Bowl
for this worthy cause. There exists a multitude of ways for a
business or an individual to raise
money for this great game.
There is a packet available that shows the many different levels of sponsorship. I am
hoping that everyone will try to
help round up new donors,
sponsors and advertisers. If we
can all find just one new sponsor, the game and ultimately, the
children in the Shrine hospital
system benefit greatly. “Strong
Legs Run That Weak Legs May
Walk” is as alive today as ever…
maybe even more so!
I am very appreciative of
you considering helping do
some extra ‘leg work’ for the
Shrine Bowl!
Again thank you for your
efforts in the past, present and
future. You all make a big difference in the lives of many here
and afar!
An Addendum:
Serving on the Board of
Directors, and now as President
of the North South Shrine Bowl
in 2015, has brought home to
me the miracles our medical
staff
perform
every
day
throughout this country and in
Canada. But those miracles do
not come cheaply. It take millions daily to keep it all running
like the well oiled machine that
it is.
I am pleading with the
Nobles of Korein to support our
effort to raise money for our
hospital. Each of us knows
someone who owns a business
in this state, whether that person is a Shriner or not. Please
talk to them about sponsoring
the game or, at a minimum,
buying an ad in our program.
If each of us would just
garner one additional ad, we
could easily double the money
we send to SLC.
And please don’t forget
to send that check for the game
day tickets!!
If you need any help
selling ads or have any questions about the process, call me
(Carl Pappert) at 307-421-2283,
or send me an email at
[email protected]
Each of you is a partner
in the success of this game and
we all need you to make it succeed. Thanks.
