Dia De Los Muertos! For the second year in a row Logia El Quixote No. 83 will be presenting a very special event. The Lodge will exemplify a Dia de los Muertos Master Mason Degree. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico developed from ancient traditions among its preColumbian cultures. Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors had been observed by these civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500–3,000 years. The festival that developed into the modern Day of the Dead fell in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar, about the beginning of August, and was celebrated for an entire month. The festivities were dedicated to the goddess[12] known as the "Lady of the Dead", corresponding to the modern La Calavera Catrina. To honor this celebration, the Lodge will have a cultural event preceding the degree that will display many of the time-honored customs of the holiday and give the audience a deeper understanding of its meaning. The cultural event is open to the public.

Seeking Light Through Our Masonic Youth When you knock on the door of something like Masonry for the first time, you have no idea what road your journey will take you down. Regardless of the path before you, the goal remains the same for all of us as we seek a way to become better men. Along our journey, we will meet up with those who will teach us, those who will mentor us, and those who will guide us. For some of us, our guides will be fellow Masons. But, for others, those guides may come in the form of some who are much younger than ourselves. It may be your good fortune to have the young men of DeMolay, the Masonic youth organization for young men age 12 to 21, be the light which guides you to that which we all seek. By getting involved with DeMolay through becoming an advisor, you will have the opportunity to perform nobler deeds and experience greater achievements. Just like us, the young men of DeMolay are seeking light. They too wish to become better sons, better husbands, and better men. You, my brother, may find the light that you seek while guiding those who are on a similar journey. For, by becoming a part of DeMolay, you will find that it is those very young men you are guiding, who are the ones guiding you on your journey. It is they who will teach you. It is they who will guide you to become a better man.
Arizona DeMolay is always looking for men who wish to become Advisors. But just what does an Advisor for DeMolay do? Dedicated and caring Advisors are an important piece of any successful Chapter, and just as DeMolays each have a slightly different role, Advisors lean on their strengths and experiences to guide how they support our members. Advisors give their weekends to drive DeMolays to and from events. They fill in as referees, DJ’s, moderators, set designers, and anything else an event calls for. They support DeMolays through some of the worst moments of their lives. They brainstorm ideas with their Chapter, and help recruit new members. Being an Advisor is like being a Swiss army knife of guidance, leadership, and assistance.

Arizona Masonry
GEORGE WASHINGTON – TRUE MASONIC BROTHER; AN INSPIRATION In September, 1752, a new Masonic Lodge was convened in Fredericksburg. Two months later, George Washington was inducted as an Entered Apprentice Mason. Within a year he was raised to Master Mason. American Masons preached universal brotherhood and equality. Washington believed devoutly in Freemasonry's higher values. He attended Lodge meetings as he found time owning two Masonic aprons, walked in Masonic processions and was painted in full Masonic regalia during his second term as President. Repeatedly throughout his career he paid tribute to Freemasonry. “So far as I am acquainted with the principles and doctrines of Freemasonry” he said toward the end of his life “I conceive it to be founded in benevolence and to be exercised only for the good of Mankind.” With his joyful affiliation with the Masons, Freemasonry provided no suspicions of conspiracy common in the late 18th century America. Washington seldom missed a chance to salute Masonic Lodges. Freemasonry's universal optimism and good fellowship appealed to him. In June, 1784 he was inducted into the Alexandria Lodge as an honorary member – which gave him dual membership there and in the Fredericksburg Lodge. Later he became Master of the Alexandria Lodge earning the distinction of being the only Mason to hold this post while simultaneously serving as President of the United States. He always proudly embraced Masonic rituals. The sole Constitutional requirement for the swearing-in was the President must take the oath of office. That morning a Congressional committee decided to add solemnity by having Washington place his hand on a Bible during the oath leading to a last minute scramble to find one. A Masonic Lodge came to the rescue providing a thick Bible bound in deep brown leather and set on a crimson velvet cushion. On September 18, 1793, at Mt. Vernon, Washington greeted a Fife & Drum Corp from Alexandria and provided a festive procession to install the cornerstone of the Capitol. Every Mason gathered to receive him dressed in ceremonial clothing. The Grand Parade to the site proceeded under the auspices of Alexandria Lodge #22 and the Grand Lodge of Maryland plus its various chapters. Officiating as Grand Master he wore the Masonic apron that had been a gift from Lafayette's wife. To the roar of cannons Washington used a trowel, spread cement on the cornerstone before pouring oil, corn and wine over it. Incorporated into the southeast corner of the Capitol was a silver plate engraved with the words “the year of Masonry 5793” when Washington performed Masonic rituals at the new Capitol proving Freemasonry was not a secret society but was “to promote the happiness of the human race.” Testifying to Washington's deep faith in the Brotherhood of Freemasonry, Dr. Elisha Dick in his capacity as Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge #22 officiated over the rituals by Masons in their customary aprons.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL The George Washington Masonic National Memorial stands as the most distinguished monument to Washington ever build by a private organization. Erected in the 1920s and 30s, it soars 333 feet as a beacon of Light and knowledge, educating and inspiring all who visit it. Recognized in 2015 as a National Historic Landmark, the Memorial is one of the most impressive and iconic buildings in the area around our nation’s capital. Our new fundraising endeavor, The Landmark Century Campaign, aims to support a thorough restoration of the Memorial. And we can help! Today, the Memorial is a museum like no other in the world. Everything we do revolves around our vision: “to inspire humanity through education to emulate and promote the virtues, character and vision of George Washington, the Man, the Mason, and Father of our Country.” Open seven days a week, the Memorial offers detailed exhibits and guided tours that teach the general public about George Washington, his life and virtues, and the role that Freemasonry played throughout his life. Further, the Memorial is an important space for the performing arts, social gatherings, public events, and educational seminars. And, of course, it is an active Masonic temple, housing two Craft lodges and regularly hosting visiting lodges from around the country. The Memorial is a central hub connecting Masons to one another, and connecting the Craft to the public, our nation, and our world For the past decade, the Memorial Association has devoted tremendous energy and resources to the renovation of the Memorial. Major exhibits have been added. Interiors have been repaired and repainted. Lighting has been updated. But the most considerable work is the top-to-bottom restoration of the building itself—the first such renovation since the Memorial was completed nearly a century ago. Beginning at the Memorial’s pyramid level, we have begun a multi-year project to perform all needed structural repairs. Stone by stone, are repointing the mortar and protecting the building from water penetration. When completed, the building will be in
better than new condition.
Your generous help is essential in reaching that goal.
Arizona Masonry Widow Sons Annual Flagstaff State Gathering The Arizona Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association of Arizona held their Annual Flagstaff State Gathering the weekend of September 14th thru the 16th. More than a dozen members, representing five State Chapters, plus some of their spouses attended the get-together. The Wayfarers Chapter of Flagstaff and Wayfarers’ President Terry McCormack and his lovely wife, Jena, hosted the event. On Friday evening we had a nice meet and greet where old friends and new friends talked and enjoyed a beautiful Flagstaff evening. Saturday morning the McCormack’s provided breakfast and strong coffee to the early risers. Later that morning we left on a group ride to Humphreys Peak. The twisty paved road on the way in was exciting. That evening the group enjoyed a smoked meat barbecue, including chicken and andouille sausage with many side dishes prepared by the McCormack’s. Chief of the smoker was Brother Stephen Lamb of the Green Dragons Chapter in Tucson. Brother “Spanky” did an excellent job and the meat was wonderful. All in all, everyone had a great time and we are looking forward to next year’s Annual Flagstaff Gathering. There are Widows Sons Chapters all over the world. The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association of Arizona is dedicated to introducing the world of motorcycles to the world of Arizona Freemasonry, and the world of Freemasonry to the motorcycling community, as well as the charitable support of Widows & Orphans, and promoting fellowship and unity among Brothers who ride motorcycles. There are seven Widows Sons Chapters in Arizona. For more information, please visit our website at www.widowssonsaz.com or email us at widowssonsarizona@gmail.com.
Arizona Masonry Arizona Mason being Honored There is a new book being released about Ernest W. McFarland: He is the only Arizonan to serve in the highest office in all three branches of Arizona government, two at the state level, one at the federal level. He was a Democratic Senator from Arizona from 1941 to 1953 (Majority Leader from 1951 to 1953) before he was the tenth governor of Arizona from 1955 to 1959. Finally, McFarland sat as Chief Justice on the Arizona Supreme Court in 1968. Shortly after he returned from the Senate, he and several friends formed the Arizona Television Company to start a television station in Phoenix. McFarland had long been intrigued by the still-new medium. In 1955, shortly after he became governor, he opened KTVK, Phoenix's third television station. He chose the call letters "because TV would be our middle name." KTVK was the ABC affiliate for much of Arizona until 1995 and then became one of the nation's most successful independent stations. It remained in the hands of McFarland's family until 1999 Ernest W. McFarland was a member of Pima Lodge No. 39 in Coolidge, Arizona for many years. He introduced his son-in-law Delbert Lewis to Masonry who went on to be Master of Gila Valley Lodge No. 9 in Florence in 1959. The book is being released on Oct. 16th - see the event for a book signing in downtown Phoenix on October 25th

Masonic Trivia In 1944, Worthy Grand Matron Maybelle Taylor Grand Chapter of Arizona - OES asked the Chapters to curtail expenditures of money and effort on entertainment and to concentrate on the War effort. Funds raised from Chapters were used to purchase one fully equipped ambulance and one portable x-ray machine. This was in addition to another fully equipped ambulance that had been budgeted the previous year by the Grand Chapter! Not accounted for was the hundreds of garments and hours donated to the Red Cross during the year by it members already.
In 1945 Danitza Angius, Grand Secretary of Grand Chapter of Arizona - OES, reported a membership of 5,900. A marvelous amount of War work was reported with funds raised to purchase THREE Ward Pullman Cars fully equipped and sent overseas for use in moving injured from the battle front to the hospitals at the cost $1,126.00 each. During World War II the United States Army had two types of cars in hospital train service: "Ward Cars" and "Ward-Dressing Cars". "Ward Cars" had end-to-end straight aisles, wide end doors to permit passage of litters, patient beds, nurses records desk, storage space, and cleaning and sterilizing facilities. "Ward-Dressing Cars" had a small area where surgical dressings could be attended and emergency surgeries performed, in addition to patient beds.
Francis M. Zuck was born in 1838, served three years in the Third Iowa and for twenty years traveled the country as a traveling salesman, making his way to Arizona in 1881, settling in Holbrook. He was known as the father of Holbrook, having the honor of being the first Probate Judge of Navajo County, chairman of the Republican Territorial convention, and owner of "The Holbrook" the oldest hotel in town, as well as other valuable property interests. This important position did not exclude him from being on the receiving end of some shenanigans in 1904. Zuck counted his chicken in Thursday night, numbering 39 mostly white leghorns, but went out Friday morning he was surprised to dead chickens all over the yard, opening the coop only to find two lonesome hens. He notified Sheriff Houck who arrived to find the dead chickens and 19 missing. Upon examination every chicken was found to have a broken back. From all appearances, the thief was either a green hand or intended going into the wholesale chicken business. Evidently after opening the coop it looked like such a snap, the thief thought he would take the whole flock, but after having completed the butchering he found they were too heavy to carry, or he lost his nerve and left nearly half scattered around the yard. There were at the time numerous chicken thieves around Holbrook, but none have shown themselves so greedy as this one. Francis. M Zuck was a Past Master of Chalcedony Lodge #6 and Grand Master of Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons in Arizona in 1902. He was also Past Grand High Priest on Arizona Grand York Rite. Old Main is the first building of the The University of Arizona, completed in 1891, is the second oldest public building in Arizona behind San Xavier Mission (built between 1783 and 1797). Designed by James M. Creighton of Phoenix and built by Michael Joseph Sullivan. Creighton was a long time member of Arizona Lodge #2 Free and Accepted Masons while Sullivan was Master of Tucson lodge#4 F.& A M in 1885 and served as Junior Grand Warden of Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons in Arizona in 1887. Odd addition... the plaque on Old Main makes no mention of Creighton, instead it credits "Capt. A.E. Miltimore USA as 'Designer and Superintendent of Building" in what may be one of Arizona's earliest examples of intellectual property infringement......Or perhaps the first UofA prank?? In 1890 Capt. Miltimore was in the process of being court martialed on charges of defrauding the Government with charges of fraudulent transactions, such as carrying his wife on pay roll as a clerk, his servant as a janitor and renting his property to the government. Did some undergrads pull one over on the plaque engraver? (Miltimore was not a Mason)

Masonic Trivia Austin Sprague Frankenberg (1866-1947) was Past Master of Temple Lodge No. 15 (1906) Chandler Thunderbird Lodge #15, F. & A. M. of AZ and the first Master of Oriental Lodge 20 F&AM in 1910. (Also sitting in the East in 1911, 1913, 1914) Uncle "Aus", as he was known, was an old bachelor with a great regard for his hired man, Hans Hansen and Hans' family. Austin struck a deal with Hans to take care of him in his old age. In return, Austin would leave his farm to Hans. Austin
In 1912 Jennie E. Capo was the Worthy Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star of Arizona. The Grand Matron had a more than unusual understanding of the rites and purposes of the order, and devotion to detail to promote efficiency in the business. She reported writing 829 letters and 156 post cards to Chapters and members, though the Grand Secretary reported only 15 Chapters and 1,279 members
On July 4, 1862 several wagon trains of emigrants traveling on the Oregon Trail were encamped at Independence Rock. A group of about 20 Masons who could mutually vouch for each other planned a celebration on the rock which would become the first known Masonic meeting in Wyoming. Plans were made only to come undone after one of the main group named Bovee discharged his holstered firearm while hunting a wolf, killing himself. The funeral for the fallen man took most the morning delaying the event. A sudden rainstorm at 4 pm "Busted the celebration", but the group determined to continue the planned event made their way to the summit, where they found a recess, or rather depression in the Rock, "the form and situation of which seemed prepared by nature for their special use". The preparation for the meeting was accomplished by building an altar of 12 large stones, a quick thinking Brother added one more stone to represent the 13 original colonies. no one had a square and compass with them, so they were fashioned from cardboard, the Grand Lodge of Wyoming has these also.
WB Asa L Brown was elected to preside in the East. Brother Brown informally opened "Independence Lodge No.1" on the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason Degrees. WB Asa would go on to Washington Territory where he would be elected Grand Master of Washington Territory in 1864. A celebration of this event is still held to this day in Wyoming where Masons from all over the state return to the rock where the Grand Lodge of Wyoming open the Grand Lodge. These meeting are held in years that end in zero... so the next one will be held on July 4th, 2020. There was a 150th celebration of this event held on July 4th 2012, Grand Master Allen Piece Grand Master, but generally this is held in years ending in zero or every ten years.
