We partied hearty at the Raymond J. Vogel, Jr. Memorial Bull and Oyster Roast
It was a sellout crowd on Saturday, February 25th, at the Baltimore Forest Tall Cedars Hall in Parkville, for the first Raymond J. Vogel, Jr. Memorial Bull and Oyster Roast. Brother Vogel was a beloved member of Corinthian Lodge and prominent in the Tall Cedars.
| We were Corinthian Strong at the "Stag Feast." |
|
Brothers came from all over Maryland to enjoy the friendship, fun and games, and the food, catered by Atlantic Catering.
| |
|
PM Joe Frank got right to work offering up our gun raffle tickets.
After the eating had been accomplished, many exclaiming, "I am satisfied," this table became a pretty serious party table.
| |
|
Brothers JW Jason Smith, Michael Cantrell, WM Rick Smith and PM Roy Hodgson (not pictured) worked the 50/50 Raffle table.
| |
|

And the winner is... none other than the ubiquitous Brother Theother Ray Lewis! (We heard that he did graciously tip the Atlantic Catering staff person [next to him] who drew his number.) | |
MWGM Frederick A. Spicer places new emphasis on Schools of Instruction | |
|
As a part of his administrative platform for 2023, the Grand Master of Masons in Maryland, Frederick A. Spicer, is placing a special emphasis on lodges getting the ritual right.
To help us all with this, he has set up a regular schedule of regional Officer Schools of Instruction, to be administered by the Grand Lecturer, Bill Richard.
| |

|
Our schools schedule
Our schools will be held every third Thursday (except in November) at the Boumi Temple, 5050 King Avenue, at 7:00 PM. Our Deputy Grand Lecturer, Brother Dave Sandy, will lead the instruction.
| |
|
Every time your editor has attended one of these schools, we have come away with several, if not significantly more, new "tools." We can't recommend highly enough these opportunities to learn from one or more Past Masters.

Corinthian Brothers attend memorial services for two departed brothers
| |
|
Past Masters Joe Creamer, Joe Frank, Gary
Norman, Brother John Markel and PM Roger
Dunn at the Grand Lodge on February 19.
| |
On February 19, Corinthian Brothers pictured above, attended a memorial service at the Grand Lodge in Cockeysville for Brother Kenneth Hutcherson, 99 years old, and Past Master of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 116. Mt. Moriah's WM Wayne Penley officiated the Masonic service. | |
|
Then on Wednesday, February 22, WM Rick Jones and Chaplain Gary Norman, PM, lead the Lodge in a memorial service to honor Brother William Mosley at the Schimunek home in Perry Hall.
The family of Corinthian Brother Al Edens is planning a Masonic memorial service for Saturday March 25 at the Towson Masonic Temple. We will notify the brethren of the details.

You're telling me even HE was a Mason?!
Ty Cobb
| |
|
Since it's the beginning of the baseball season, we thought we'd highlight here the "Georgia Peach."
Tyrus Raymond Cobb (1886-1961) spent 22 seasons as a center fielder with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as player/manager. In 1936, he got the most votes of any player in the first class of baseball's Hall of Fame.
At age 20, he was the youngest player to win a batting title and held that record until 1955 when Baltimore native Al Kaline
did it, also with the Tigers.
During his career he set 90 records, some are still standing, including the highest lifetime batting average (.366), for most times stealing home (54), and for the most times stealing second, third and home in succession (4).
Brother Cobb was a member of Royston Lodge No. 426 in Detroit, Michigan.
