Oskar R. Huber The passing of Oskar R. Huber leaves a void in glory days of LuLu Temple. As Potentate in 1980, Oskar maintained a hectic pace in keeping contact with the Clubs and Units in our Oasis. In addition to his regular visits to virtually all the Clubs and Units, there was the trip to Florida to visit the Semonite Shrine Club, consisting mainly of Lu Lu members who retired to the Sunshine State. In the middle of all this, there was a triple-by-pass heart operation. This didn’t stop Oskar. After a short recovery period, he picked up where he left off. Next was the Germany Rhine River Country trip, followed by the Grand Ole Opry caravan to Nashville, Tennessee. A return to the Naval Academy, which he attended, was one of nostalgia that those who accompanied him enjoyed. One of Oskar’s most rewarding achievements was being elected to the Board of Governors, Shriners Hospital for Children, serving as a Vice Chairman from 1995-1996. Oskar was active in the Clubs and Units in many capacities including serving, supporting, and participating. In addition, he was an active riding member of LuLu Mounted Guard for which he served as President in 1975-1976. Oskar will be sorely missed by his many friends and family. LuLu Mounted Guard Number 1 By Roy L. Knauth P.P. Did you know that LuLu’s Mounted Guard is the oldest horse patrol in all of Shrine? I think that our founding father W. Freeland Kendrick would be very proud of us today since we are very well represented in all of Shrine with officers in both the International Horse Patrol and the Mid Atlantic Shrine Horse Patrol with a number of past Presidents in both. This year we traveled to Denver and competed with six rented horses and although we did not wins the Musical Drill Competition we competed in both that and the street parade and as Ill. Sir Manny says no one was heart and we all had a great time. The Drill Team consisted of Ill. Sir Manny Iglesias, Ill. Sir William Morwald, Ill Sir Roy Knauth, Ill. Sir William Adamson, Assistant Rabban Gary Davis and Charles Roberts. Although we were only able to saddle four riders, September was an entire different story. We had our own horses and there was no question who the number one team was in the Musical Drill Competition against three other Shrines’ and where we were judged by Virginia Beach Mounted Police Unit, professional horse people. Ill. Sir William Morwald competed in the Western Individual Competition and also took first place against eight other riders for his Horsemanship. This time the team consisted of Ill. Sir Manny Iglesias, Ill. Sir William Morwald, Ill. Sir Roy Knauth and Assistant Rabban Gary Davis. The Mounted Guard would also like to thank all the Nobles and their Ladies of LuLu who came out to support us at the Drill Competitions. When we did the street parade it is a little tough with only four when competing against troops of sixteen and judges who are looking for crowd appeal but we had a great time anyway. This year has been a good year for us as we have picked up a couple of new riding members and well as one being a third generation LuLu Mounted member, so if you are so inclined we meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month in the Mounted Guard Room at LuLu Shrine and you are invited to come out and see what we are all about, who knows you may enjoy all the fellowship we share. With the Parade Season almost over when this article reaches you, we will be planning our annual Holiday Lady’s Night for the first weekend in December so, watch out for our flyers with all the information. Here’s wishing you a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season. 22
From the Desk of the Legion of Honor The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Ceremonial Presentation For 82 years the Legion of Honor has placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier. This year Illustrious Potentate Benjamin Baird and Commander Rick Gaver did the honors of placing the wreath. The Ladies of the Legion decorated the wreath for the occasion. It was a wonderful day filled with memories and reflections from the past. The group took time and visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and leaving there to go to Kena Shrine for dinner. Walt West, known as Arctic Sgt. spoke on his trip to Guadalcanal. During World War II, it was the scene of the first major US offensive against the Japanese in August 1942. He also spoke about the arctic trips. Mark Nov. 4, 2012 on your calendar for the next Tomb trip. One Day Class Presented at LuLu Shriners 103 candidates received their 3rd degree the morning of November 12th at LuLu Shriners Grand Hall. Each of the candidates observed all three degrees.
