Dear R.W. Bro Gerry; 2nd February 1997<br />
I have looked at the material you passed, dated 23rd December 1996 from W.Bro Rick<br />
Howes IPM of Lodge Wyong 247 N.S.W. Australia, and can offer the following.<br />
With regards to where the GAVEL has been, have attached that information to this letter.<br />
Reference phone calls, I communicate with Brethren and family members all the time<br />
and use a FAX, transmitted midnight to 8:00 are. This is the most economical way, I<br />
find, to send things "Down Under". A VIDEO to NEW ZEALAND (converted) of the<br />
November 11th Ceremony that was conducted by Glenbow Lodge No 184, (Vacant<br />
chair) which came to our area via Australia, has recently been sent by mail which, as<br />

No. 48).<br />

to Worshipful Master of Irricanna Lodge No 137. <strong>The</strong> new secretary of AL AZHAR<br />
TEMPLE is W. Bro Ron Beirnes, who is also, (among many things) secretary of Mount<br />
Lebanon Lodge No. 54.<br />
I note that you had received a letter from W.Bro Rick Howes 17th January 1996. Our<br />
W.M (Carstairs No. 20), W. Bro Glenn Sawyers had sent him a letter and pictures 11 th<br />
(December 1995) speaking about the GAVEL and that W.Bro Jack Hildebrandt (No.<br />
20), had made a beautiful carrying case for same. Prior to that I had sent him a letter<br />
containing:<br />
1. A copy of a FAX sent to W.Bro Ian Vaughan (Vaughan Graphics, No reply;<br />
2. Letter to W. Bro Howes re action taken, engraving etc and the Gavel being delivered<br />
to Rockyford Lodge No, 123;<br />
3. A paper on "SOME SYMBOLISM" presented by our Chaplain Bro Alex Palin. At the<br />
end of this paper, it was stated that the GAVEL would be delivered to
