REPORT OF THE DEPUTY GRAND MASTER
Your Deputy Grand Master visited two Councils, Davenport No. 5 and Orient No.
14. They held a joint visitation In Portsmouth January 8, 2013. The Opening was done with
a joint Team from Both Councils. The work of the Evening was the Royal Master Degree
likewise done with a team from both Councils. The work of both the opening and degree
was Excellent. These two York Rite groups work together to help each other as needed.
Your visiting officer took quite a while getting the Recorder and Treasurer Records
for review. On the visitation evening, the Records of Davenport Councils Treasurers
records were examined. There was no financial statement. The checkbook and funds
reports were examined. That part of the records is satisfactory. The Council is financially
stable. The Recorders records of Davenport Council were examined at a later date and
found to be satisfactory.
Orient Council No. 14 held a Special awards Night on Friday, January 18, 20123to
honor one of their Companions, who received the Ish Sodi, presented by the Most
Illustrious Grand Master, Robert D. Steel.
The Records of the Recorder are excellently kept. The Treasurer was out of town
then, so those records are being examined later.
Your Deputy Grand Master is appreciative of the welcome and dinners he received
at these visitation dates,
Your Deputy Grand Master also attended two other visitations, Adoniram, and
Horace Chase. He helped with the work of the evening in both Councils.
Your Deputy Grand Master also attended The Grand Officers Training Session, the
Operation Thank You for Military Personnel.
He regrets not going to other jurisdictions due to family concerns; his wife is not
well, and shouldnt be left alone for long periods. Whenever he has the chance, he expresses
the fraternal greetings of the New Hampshire when at Haverhill, and Newburyport
Council meetings.

NH YORK RITE
LIFE MEMBERSHIP FOUNDATION
MARCH 23, 2013
To: Comp. Robert D. Steel, MIGM of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of the State of New
Hampshire:
The annual meeting of the NH York Rite Life Membership Foundation was held on Thursday, March 21,
2013.
At the end of fiscal year 2012, we had 285 life members in the Chapters, Councils and Commanderies,
of which 98 were Council members. The Council added one member this year. This year we received
3.57259% return on our investments of $60.256.60, for a total income of $2,152.72. The income to be
divided among the Councils is $622.12. Because of the declining interest on our investments, we
discussed the possibility of having to increase the X-factor rates for new members. If this happens, it will
be effective March 1, 2014. This is an incentive for members considering life membership to do so prior
to February 28, 2014.
The following officers were re-elected for 2013:
Robert L. Sutherland, Jr. President
Robert G. Hatfield Vice-President
Rodney A. Robinson Treasurer/Assist. Sec.
Robert M. Argel Secretary/Assist. Trea..
Comp. Richard A. Gilbert, Sr. is scheduled to complete his three year term this year. The Foundation
members strongly recommend that he be re-elected for three more (3) years.

Council of Cryptic Masons and was present at the events listed below. I also presented to each
Council a presentation tailored to the event primarily on the subjects of Charity; both the giving
of alms and the understanding of personalities and various topics tailored to the event,
individuals and the works of that Council both present and past with outlooks toward the future;
as the Visiting Officer brought the appropriate Greetings.
It was also my privilege to present the Ish Sodi Award to deserving members as
recommended by the Council concerned and my approval; names noted.
NOTES:
Attendance of Regular Lodge Communications of the two Lodges, RA Chapter, Council
and Commandery as well as all Rites, Appendant and Concordant Masonic Bodies to which I am
a member and or Officer of are NOT included. All were faithfully attended except for two
conflicting incidences where my Primary duty as MIGM prevailed.
It was not anticipated at the time I started this year, however, it became necessary for me
to send my regrets to all Jurisdictions concerning my inability to travel when discovered on my
way to the NE Regional in Albany. Arthritis and nerve pressures made it extremely difficult to
sit for a long period of time. Vermont was the exception.

GRAND MASTERS CONCLUDING REMARKS
Brethren ALL
There comes a time when each of us has to step aside. We take office voluntarily and so we
vacate it. This was the last year of a long period of time during which many paths have been
explored, roads traveled and indeed, destinations reached. Who are we that we may choose every
event that would change our lives? There are many we would have sidestepped if given a choice,
many we would rather not have knowledge of as well. In truth, each of those unwanted events in
life have contributed to our growth as human beings, each, however, has had a part in developing
our character; turning a negative into a positive , a lemon into lemonade, a Rough Ashlar into
one fit for use in the Temple! Each stage of our lives has several others within; each has lessons
to teach; each has its own rewards and penalties. None of us has the ability to look into the future
with certainty, nor may we know every course of action in advance. It is the "School of Life"
teaching us, one lesson at a time. We as Freemasons have an unusual opportunity to prevail,
why? Many of those paths and roads have already been traveled by other Brothers, they know
the way, the results of dedicated service, the personal joys of fulfillment. These Brethren are
your Mentors, available to you for the asking, a simple knock on the door, a desire to learn and
take instruction is all it takes.
This past year, old back and hip injuries reared their powerful influence over my ability to
travel. To say it was difficult to travel would be an understatement of Gross Proportions. I did
attend each Councils works and almost all of our functions in New Hampshire plus a very few
out of it. I did send regrets to all concerned Jurisdictions and events. My concentration remained
here, working to the best of my "Mobility". The record is printed in the final report. During
those opportunities I was able to present an Ish Sodi Award to seven deserving Companions for
their past, present and continuing superior performance and attitude. Their labors have
contributed to the overall successful Masonic Year of our Grand Council. We have been able to
replace every loss with a new face. The new faces are younger and more active, eager and
participating in their Councils future. You, my Companions, did the work, pulled the cord and
yanked the Whistle Chain! Congratulations to EVERY COUNCIL!!! I must also give a huge
amount of Thanks to your Grand Line Officers, they put it together, adjusted where necessary
and proceeded to complete all tasks assigned.
There were several individual Companions, submitted by their Council, to be considered for the
honor of being nominated Cryptic Mason of the Year, to the General Grand Council,
International. It truly was a hard choice as there is so many of you out there I am aware of. Of
the names submitted to me, however, one stood out clearly; Ill. Companion Andy Lord. In
addition to this, the General Grand Council authorized a NEW Award with similar requirements
as the Grand Encampments Knight Commander of the Temple, the Order of the Secret Vault.
For all of his works in our Councils and Grand Council I nominated our R.I. Grand Recorder
Dennis A. Sheridan, MIPGM as the first recipient. As you are now aware, each of my
Nominations were approved by the General Grand Council International.
I will be almost out of Masonic Offices after the elections today. With 98% of the work
compete, my future efforts will begin to be concentrated upon reestablishing my life with my
new wife Alice. Many of you are aware that my wife of 47 + years, Catherine, has now been
deceased for 3 + years. If I did not have this Great Fraternity to influence my life and activities, I
would not be here now. My adult life has been so blessed with this association, I could never
-
29
begin to repay it, except with my efforts in its behalf. It was Catherine who bore the brunt of this
passage, to her I say, thank you dear wife, may you Rest in Peace. To my new Bride Alice,
you know not what you missed, our future will be greatly relieved of countless nights away from
home. There are still about two years left before I am completely out of office though. You, very
ably managed as a nurse, wife and mother for 47 + years, I am sure you can handle our future
together, handily!
And so it is time to say farewell, may you each adorn your "Temple not made with hands" with
the jewels of Faith, Love, Honor and Constancy.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Companion Robert D. Steel, MIGM
Grand Council of Cryptic Masons in NH

REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE 2013
To Companion Robert D. Steel, Most Illustrious Grand Master, and the Companions of the
Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of New Hampshire:
The Jurisprudence Committee has reviewed the report of the Most Illustrious Grand Masters
activities for the 2012-2013 Cryptic year and thanks him for its timely submission, even if
received indirectly. This Committee always appreciates the opportunity to evaluate the Most
Illustrious Grand Masters activities when adequate time is available for review.
The Committee notes his attendance at the Northeast Conference in New York and recognizes
his limitations for travels to other jurisdictions. It is suggested that when such circumstances
arise, effort should be made to the extent possible to ensure a qualified representative of this
Grand Council is present at out-of-state events. Participation in visitations to other Grand
Jurisdictions and General Grand Council activities is important not only for the presiding Most
Illustrious Grand Master, but for all progressive Line Officers.
The Committee also recognizes his diligence in visiting the Councils in this jurisdiction, both
officially and to support them with degree work. We were pleased to see the number of
presentations of the Ish Sodi award personally presented by the Most Illustrious Grand Master.
It is critical that the Grand Council is seen as both a resource of support by all Companions, and
as a means of officially recognizing the efforts of individuals. Your attendance provided a visual
confirmation of that support.
The report received by the Committee contained no reference to either dispensations granted or
by-laws changes approved. The Committee must assume that no items of an administrative
nature occurred during the past Cryptic year, but would remind those advancing towards the
Grand East that administrative actions or decisions are a critical part of the annual report of the
Illustrious Grand Master. Should there be none during a term of office, it is suggested that a
comment to that effect should be included in the report.
Most Illustrious Sir, it has been a pleasure working with you during the past Cryptic year, and we
thank you for the privilege of serving this Grand Council as your Jurisprudence Committee.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Roger A. Douillette, Sr., MIPGM
Robert L. Sutherland, Jr., MIPGM
Richard F. Cole, Jr., MIPGM, Chairman
