knight templarLetters to the EditorThe letter published in the December2012 Knight Templar from David L.Meissner offended me as I am sure it didmany others. Your editorial response isgreatly appreciated and not only showedyou as a thoughtful Sir knight, but also asa great patriot.Courteously and Fraternally,Sir Knight Gerald E. GoacherDear Sir Knight John:Thank you for the ever-improvingmagazine. It seems to be more interestingeach month. Excellent choice of subjects.Sir Knight James A Beverley,Dallas Commandery No 6. TexasSir Knight Palmer:In reference to the letter in the January2013 issue from Sir Knight W. BrucePruitt, I doubt that the “lack of recordtends to minimize the knowledge of theaward,” because very few of the membersactually are aware of the content ofthe records.However I do concur with his concernabout any “lack of record.” As anamateur genealogist and historian, I amoften concerned about things missingfrom the records. In the Fraternity ingeneral, we seem to only keep recordsof what happens in an official tiled meeting.All too often there is no record madeof the unofficial events like fraternal visitations,public service awards, member-ship awards, golden anniversary awards,community participations, etc.When generations that follow setout to review the historic records left bytheir predecessors, then they will missout on learning of most of these typesof events.One way to correct for this “lack” isfor the responsible committee chairmenor presiding officer to report on theseevents at the next meeting, and thushave his statements become a part ofthe recorded history, albeit a meetingcyclelater.However, for meetings like the TriennialConferences, the three-year timelag becomes a bit awkward. In suchcases, the activity should be sufficientlystated for the recorded minutes beforethe event. In situations involving somedegree of confidentially or surprise, therecorded minutes might note that thechair reserves until after the event, theright to revise and extend the specificsinto the written records of the currentmeeting. This could allow for a moretimely inclusion in the records.Sincerely & Fraternally,Sir Knight Hugh T.
