Michael D. Nanny,Grand Master of Masons in Texas

The dawn of a new year is upon us! For Sheriand me, it is the beginning of an adventure of alifetime. The honor of serving the distinguishedtradition of our fraternity’s highest office is beyondwords. We pledge to each of you our best efforts torepresent the trust that you have placed in us, andwe thank you for the privilege of representing thefraternity in 2002.

In the coming year, we certainly have challengesthat we should face, but I know that, with theblessings of God and our shared ideals of who canbest work and agree, there are no limits on what canbe accomplished. I pray that our Masonic efforts in2002 will create an environment to which every goodand moral man in Texas is inspired to seek member-ship in our fraternity. When we follow the teachingsof Masonry, the good men of Texas will be attractedto us because of what they see in how we conductour lives and by what they observe us doing in theform of service to the communities where we meet.

We are reminded daily that our world has beenchanged forever since September 11. The mediawould have us believe that any hope for a prosperousfuture is a thing of the past. But the vows that bindus together as Masons give me hope that, when theprinciples of the brotherhood of man under thefatherhood of God are embraced more widely, thegood men of our world will learn that they can lookpast their religious and political differences to seethe basic good in God’s faithful children. The dayafter the tragic events of September 11, 2001, I waswitness to a follower of the Muslim faith being madea Master Mason. At that event, it occurred to me thatMasonry teaches us to look at the spirit and integrityof the individual man who seeks membership in ourfraternity. This gives me hope that, when mankindcan more widely embrace our Masonic philosophies,events such as those that have recently occurredwould be unfathomable because, simply put, oneBrother could never even consider such actions uponone of his own!

I believe that, when applied to our individuallives, the teachings and philosophy of Freemasonrycan make a difference to the communities where welive, work and worship! Once the good men in ourcommunities know who we are, what we teach, andobserve the examples that we demonstrate in ourdaily lives, they will want to become a part of ourfraternity, freely and without solicitation. Goodexamples attract good people!

Again, thank you for the confidence you havedemonstrated by electing me to serve as your GrandMaster. I encourage each of you to attend your lodgein 2002, as regularly as your family and usualvocation will permit. When even one of us ismissing, we all miss an opportunity in fellowship andthat unique possibility to improve ourselves inMasonry.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Michael D. NannyGrand Master

Dixon, Baptist Men receive Carrell AwardWACO — The W.B. and Brandon Carrell HumanitarianAward for 2001 was presented to Robert E. Dixon and theTexas Baptist Men during the 166th AnnualCommunication of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas Dec.7 by Grand Master David B. Dibrell. The award, given inrecognition of a non-Mason demonstrating Masonicprinciples, was presented for selfless acts of dedication inaiding those suffering from natural and manmadedisasters.

In the wake of Hurricane Beulah in September 1967,Mr. Dixon set up a disaster relief center in Harlingen toserve storm victims on both sides of the border. The 1970Lubbock tornado identified the need for a disaster mobileunit. Later that year, Hurricane Celia left widespreaddevastation in and around Corpus Christi. “This crisishelped our recipient develop his vision for relief and allowedhim to obtain significant financial help from the BaptistState Missions and to enlist many volunteers,” the GrandMaster said.

The first disaster mobile unit was built in time to beused in the 1972 Guadalupe River flood in Seguin andNew Braunfels and served 2,500 hot meals for floodvictims and relief workers.

During 1973 and 1974, the unit became international andassisted in relief efforts in the aftermath of a major earthquakein Nicaragua. Their international work has continued. One

Rudolf Anderson outside the Laughlan AFB Opera-tions Training Complex, which has been renamed Anderson Hall in memoryof the Cuban Missile Crisis flier. (Photo courtesy USAF)

DEL RIO — Almost 40 years ago,the world teetered on the brinkof war. During the infamous 13days in October 1962, betterknown as the Cuban Missile Cri-sis, only one American life waslost to enemy fire. He was U-2pilot Maj. Rudolph Anderson.

This past November, theLaughlan AFB Operations Train-ing Complex was renamed “Ander-son Hall” in a moving tribute tothe pilot who was attached to the4080th Strategic Wing.

Two of Maj. Anderson’s grownchildren participated in the cer-emony, along with fellow U-2 pi-lot Brig. Gen. Gerald McIlmoyle,who spoke of the man he calledhis friend and mentor.

District Deputy Grand Mas-ter (43) James S. Long brought amessage on behalf of the GrandMaster honoring Bro. Anderson’scontribution to the highest ide-als of Masonry. A member of Re-covery Lodge No. 31 in Greenville,SC, Bro. Anderson became aScottish Rite Mason in the Val-ley of San Antonio in 1961. Onhis death, the Cuban Masons-in-exile paid him their highest com-pliments and the San AntonioValley named their 1963 SpringReunion in his memory.

A wreath of evergreen — con-taining 11 white flowers to sig-nify the 11 U-2 pilots who flewmissions over Cuba and 13 redflowers to signify the 13 days ofthe crisis — was placed on be-half of the Masons of Texas tohonor this heroic flier and Mas-ter Mason.

Legislator receives EndowedMembershipAUSTIN — Texas State Senator TroyFraser has been presented with anEndowed Membership in UniversityLodge No. 1190. Bro. Fraser, whohas served in both the Texas Houseand later in the Senate from District24, is a longtime business, civic andpolitical leader.

Grady V. Isbell was more than astatistic on the roll of over 4,000 TexasMaster Masons who died last year. Soonafter Bro. Isbell died on March 10, 2001,it was learned that he had named theGrand Lodge of Texas, together withother organizations and his church, asbeneficiaries of his estate.

Upon settlement of the estate, theGrand Lodge received $70,000. TheGrand Lodge Trustees determined thatthe memory of Bro. Isbell could be bet-ter perpetuated and the money betterutilized if it was placed in the GrandLodge Endowment Fund, where onlythe earnings from the bequest wouldbe used. This has been accomplished,and the generosity of Bro. Isbell will beremembered in perpetuity by a grate-ful fraternity.

Bro. Isbell was a member of ElkhartLodge No. 400 in Elkhart, TX. He be-came a Mason in Kermit Lodge No.1258 receiving his Master Mason’s De-gree on Nov. 21, 1932. He received his65-year Service Award in 1998 and wasan Endowed Member of Elkhart Lodge.

His actions in naming the GrandLodge of Texas as a beneficiary of hisestate should be an example for all lov-ing, caring and concerned Masons todo likewise, thus assuring the finan-cial stability of Freemasonry in Texasfor future generations.

While many Americanservicemen were alone ina country of strangers,

Mike had an entree ... hewas a Master Mason.

A member of HarmonyLodge No. 6 and LexingtonLodge No. 138, he was inLondon on a five-day passfrom his ship anchored offOmaha Beach. Wanderingthe bomb-shatteredstreets, he happened uponan impressive buildingwith a huge bronze door,upon which was a symbolhe well knew.

Fifty years later, in1993, after writing an ar-ticle for the Scottish RiteJournal on the anniversaryof D-Day, Mike wouldagain enter that doorleading to New CenturyLodge, this time at thelodge’s special summons.As a guest of honor, hewas given leave to comeback, any time.

That chance came thispast year on the centen-nial of the lodge, as Mikeagain returned to Londonto find that his previousvisits had become part ofa beautifully bound and il-lustrated history of thelodge.

To the Secretaries:

The Grand Lodge staff and I hopeeach of you is doing well and wishfor you and your lodge a happy,prosperous and successful NewYear. Our success as a Fraternity,and indeed our success in life, is inour ability to live in harmony witheveryone and to always practicethose timeless virtues of BrotherlyLove, Relief and Truth. The worldhas never had a greater need forpersons of all faiths, creeds andnationalities to live in peace andharmony with one another. Bypracticing the very basics of Freema-sonry, we can, individually and as agroup, stand as a beacon for othersto emulate.

The 166th Grand Annual Communication is now history, andI trust all of you who attended left with a better knowledge andunderstanding of the workings, or more mundane side, of ourorganization. As usual, a number of resolutions and recommen-dations were presented, discussed and acted upon. Most of youby now have carried the results of those actions back to your ownlodges, while many members have read them on the Grand LodgeWeb site. For those who may not know, or need clarification, thefollowing is a very brief sketch of the actions taken by GrandLodge.

Resolutions that passed without amendment were the 2000Holdover Resolution, plus Resolutions 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 17.

Resolutions passing with some amendment were Resolutions3, 4, 6, 10 and 16. Resolution 6, however, is a constitutionalchange and will be published to the lodges and considered againin December 2002.

Resolutions 1, 2 and 14 failed.Resolution 5 was withdrawn, and Resolutions 9 and 15 were

not considered under the three-year rule.Recommendations 1 and 2 both passed with amendment,

while number 3 passed as submitted. Recommendation 4 wastabled.

As usual, the necessary revisions will be made to the lawsand, when completed, your lodge will receive a copy.

Again, best wishes for 2002.With kindest personal regards, I remain,

Sincerely and fraternally,

James D. WardGrand Secretary
