Not the Happiest of Days

The day started out with the viewing of RWB Jim Goertemiller. I meet and got to know Jim almost immediately upon joining Lodge nearly 30 years ago. At the time he was the Secretary for the District and later became a DEO and DDGM. A few years later, Jim and I went through the Scottish Rite line together. Jim was the presiding officer immediately before me in the Lodge of Perfection Line. We travelled to many club meetings together. We also both joined and travelled in the Masonic Campers Club together for many years. Jim and his wife Pat are both sweet & kind persons who everyone should get the opportunity to meet and be friends with someone like them in their lifetime. So long friend. Afterwards we travelled to the State Cheerleading competition in Bowling Green which Laura and the High School Team were competing. The team did their best and did come in third place place but they had been hoping for first since they had beaten the team that finish first today more than once this year. Unfortunately, the other team threw in a new routine today which seemed to be the deciding factor. (As for the team which finsihed #2, they hadn't competed against this year but that team had won Nationals just a year or so back) So it is now the end of high school cheerleading for Laura and on to track where she hopes to break the girl high school pole vault record.
