ACACIA Lodge, "The Most Flooded Little Lodge in the Commonwealth of Virginia" (October 2008) Acacia Lodge is now back on a new foundation, but we ran over budget and are about $40,000 sort in completing the repairs so that we can occupy the building and start using it for meetings again., details here

I have setup four archive pages because there were just too many pictures for one page. The most recent pictures are on this page, while older pictures are on the archive pages (1) here and archive page (2) here archive page (3) here archive page (4) here

These are pictures I have taken of the 2008 Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, Most Worshipful Edmund Cohen during his official visits to Masonic events. "The most photographed Grand Master in Virginia, ever!" Over 3,969 pictures! In addition, there are also more pictures that have been taken by his team at other events that I was not able to attend.

Why have I taken so many pictures of the Grand Master? Because he is the only Grand Master I have personally known, his mother Lodge is Henry Lodge No. 57 which is in my Masonic District 4, but even more interesting is that long before I knew he was a Past Master or a Past DDGM or worked for the CIA, is that over 10 years ago when I was president of the Kena Shrine Computer Club, Ed was one of my students that I taught how to use a computers. Who would have every thought at that time I was teaching the future Grand Master how to use computers?! :-)

Thanks, MW. Ed, I had a great time visiting all the Masonic events with you and Gwen over the past year!!!
