Bucks County Shrine Club
We sincerely need to thank a lot of Nobles who just made
the St Patrick’s Day Parade a success. Our own Captain Jack
Richards was able to draft a full boat crew. With the help of
the Mounted Guard’s whose horses still looking like Woolly
Mammoth’s Bucks was able to have a new tow vehicle, since
our is being repaired by Dave Caddick who originally donated
it to us. Ill Sir Bill Morwald picked up and pulled the float, Ron
Schumann helped row while traversing the crowds along the
route who were excited to see it. We captured some photo’s is
this year’s parade and hopefully there is room in this issue to
share them with you.
Our speaker’s and entertainment so far this year have had
all entertained and leaving with a little more knowledge.
April’s meeting had Ed Mac Connell discussing National Health
Care and the effects it has on our aging population. We tried
for Donald Trump but his one paragraph explanation of
“Dumbo Care” would not have been long enough to help us try
to understand only a little as to how it will effect our future.
As you read this in the Fez our May 6th speaker will be Ill Sir
Joel Brookstein with a presentation on our Hospital in
Philadelphia and what is new.
Our Blind Squire is still selling his stash of his winter
nuts to help keep our float afloat and orders can be given to
Past President and now Chief Rabban Matt Hallowell

Captain Past President
Jack Richards is now putting the crew together for the Memorial
Day Parade in Doylestown May 26th and he can be reached at
215-264-5121 or email him at [email protected]. We also need
some help on refurbishing parts of the float this year, you see it
would appear that some of the ice burgs have melted and need to
be redone.
Buck’s has now sent out invitations to Crescent Temple
Nobles who live here in the county and asked them to join us
with their ladies at our meetings the first Tuesday of each
month at Vereinigung Erzgebirge 130Davisville Road Warminster

Life Embraced by Grace
In our last issue I began to raise the
question of what are the resources
available to lay the foundation for our
being able to come to positive conclusions for our life now rather than a
negative one. The biblical vision of
reality offers us three very distinct
resources. These resources speak
directly to the realities of our present,
our past and our future. With my present circumstances I have a way of lookFather Otto Lolk
ing at myself in the mirror and like God
Chaplain of LuLu
in the book of Genesis, looking at all He
Past Master,
Frankford Lodge 292 created, and be able to say about myself and say “I’m good, I’m good, I’m
302-645-0819
very, very good. Our present resource
tells me how to make a positive
response to my aging now. Grace is the framework that the
bible places around all my life. If it ever can get into the depth
of my being that this life I am living now, came to me out of
the gracious generosity that came to me from someone who
is boundless and has nothing but blessing at heart for me; if a
sense of grace is in fact the ocean on which my little life floats,
then I can think of myself as a creation and object of that grace
and then I have every reason to feel good about the self no
matter what the circumstances; whether physical, economic,
emotional or some other circumstances that may come to me
in the evening of my life.
Many years ago I was part of a small group meeting where
our leader asked us to identify what it was that was most
important about ourselves. If one had only one thing to tell
anyone about yourself, what would that be? Let me ask you
to think about that for yourself before you read on. What
would you say to another person that would best describe
your essence? You really have only one of three options from
which to draw your answer. Either you would identify yourself
in terms of what you have; this is you could say I am a person
of so much net worth, I own this or that, I have this type of
family etc. Having is one of the ways that human beings can
identify themselves. Secondly one could identify oneself in
terms of what you have done. That is one can make performance, on stage of his history, to be the most important thing
that you want to tell somebody else, ie. I’m an actor, a real
estate agent, an engineer, a doctor, a priest, a mother, a
parent, etc. You can either identify yourself in terms of what
you have or in terms of what you have done. The third possibility that one could use as your answer is in the realm of what
is the most important thing about you: “I was created by a
generous and gracious God who wants me to live. When I look
at the depths of my life, what is most important about me is
that God created me and God who loves and adores me, no
matter what I have or done or failed to have done. I am
reminded that I didn’t make myself, I am His creation, I am
“the sheep of his pasture, the creature of His loving” and that
is what is most important about me.
So when one gets to the evening of one’s life and the things
you have or the things you have done are largely insignificant;
you are what you are by “the grace of God”. That’s the thing
to cling to above all else. What that does for you is when you
don’t have anything anymore, or you can’t do anything anymore, you still have reason for looking yourself in the mirror
and feel positive about yourself. Your worth comes from your
Creator. The thing that one depends on most, when you stand
before your Maker is not what you have or made of yourself,
but what He has made of you. Grace is the biblical answer as
to how you can feel good about yourself no matter what.
I’d be very curious about you as to when, if ever, this Seminole sense of reality first broke in upon your consciousness?
You see being is the gift that comes from God, it is the font out
of which all our doing and having has come from. It is foundational, it is unearned, undeserved, it is simply gracious, it
is a gift. If we could ever sense that our real worth is not what
we have or have done, but in what God has done, then that
brings us a sense of worth. If you have never touched grace
then the sunset of your life could well be a time of despair.
What I’m suggesting is that there is a way to feel good
about yourself that has nothing to do with what you have or
what you were able to do, it has everything to do with how
you understand yourself being the recipient of the gift of God.
“By the grace of God you are what you are”. I’m floating on
something that will always support me no matter how much
or how little I have or can do and still have reason to feel
positive about me. Grace is the way to achieve ego integrity.
The next issue I’ll describe one of two more resources:
ones past and ones future.

LuLu Motor Unit Report
By Carl Levin, President
The Motor Unit has started to re-awaken. Our
Super Bowl party was a success and fairly well
attended. Those who were there had a great time
and though a few were disappointed with the outcome of the game, still enjoyed some great food
and drink.
Our Ladies night/Valentines party at The
Springhouse Tavern was a rousing success even
though the weather kept a few who had signed up
away. I don’t know that I would have made it
either if I did not drive a truck with four wheel
drive. It was icy, slippery and dangerous driving.
We were having such a good time that the staff
had to keep pointing to their watches in order to
get us to leave. Those of you who missed these
events will have another chance next year as we
have already booked those events and Valentine’s
Day actually falls on Saturday in 2015.
At our March meeting we took in three new
members and also had the best attended meeting
in two years. I have at least two more members
14
who are interested in joining, so we are on the
rebound. I would like to see some of the older
members start attending meetings and events
once again. At the Fairless Hills Parade we had
four bikes and a few cars and trucks, but we also
had some of our members pulling other units
floats in the parade and Our Potentate riding in a
members Mercedes convertible.
I am very happy to state that The Colonels bike
is finally running fine and he carried one of our
members in his sidecar in the parade. Thanks go
to Sir Roy for the pictures that are in this article.
With regards to the last Fez in which I was listed
as president of the Yacht Club, it was a typo. It
can’t happen as I get SEASICK. Same first name,
different last name. Wrong Carl! If you are riding
scooters or mini bikes in parades or at event, you
should be in the Motor Unit. Our meetings are the
second Thursday of each month and you will find
them interesting and will have a nice time
interacting with your fellow nobles.

The History of the Shrine & LuLu (16)
Chapter LIX (60)
LENAPE VALLEY SHRINE CLUB
Part 1- The Early Years: 1972-1997
By Noble Harry Speth, Historian
In March 1972, the Organizational Meeting of Lenape Valley
Shrine Club was held at Conte’s
Cross Keys Inn, one mile north of
the center of Doylestown. Ill. Sir
Fred H. Straub, Jr., (1972),
Recorder, John Paul Koitzsch,
Nobles William Woehr, John Milne,
Raymond Mills, Walter Bachman
and others, attended this Meeting
and an Interim Board of Officers
was appointed. The Potentate
directed the Charter would be
issued when 150 Nobles joined or
December 31, 1972, whichever occurred first! Noble William Woehr
was appointed the first President,
Noble John Milne as Secretary,
Nobles Raymond Mills as first VP,
Fred Warrington as 2nd VP, William
Graham, Treasurer, Samuel Brown
as Secretary.
Each member attending the
Organizational Meeting was given a
list of Shriners living in the “Upper
Bucks Area”, to contact and invite
them to become a Charter Member
of this new Club. Potentate Straub
recognized that Shriners in this
area were joining the Clubs under
control of RAJAH TEMPLE.
During the Fall of 1972, while
meeting every third Tuesday, to
promote sociability among the
members and to encourage new
members, the Club scheduled two
Family events: September 19th, a
Clam Bake took place at the Bucks
County Police Grove in Pipersville,
and October 28th, the First Annual
Ladies Nite was held at the
Doylestown Country Club. “There
18
was a good representation from the
Club in Atlantic City for the MASA
Convention and at the LuLu Picnic
at West Point Park.” Probably, some
Lenape members attended the
Corner Stone Laying Ceremony for
the new Mosque on Butler Pike on
November 11, 1972.
As reported in the September
1972 FEZ, the membership reached
110. By December 31st, the
membership reached 138, and the
Charter was issued by Ill. Sir
Fred Straub.
By 1976, The Club boasted “
regular Annual Activities include
our Clam
Bake in June, Pocono Mountain
Week-End in the Fall, and Ladies’
Nite in October. Also, of course,
participation by the Club in all our
Temple affairs.”
In the January 1973 FEZ, the
first group of Elected Officers are
listed. Apparently, that was too late
for the Temple Directory. However,
among those Elected Officers, were
President Raymond Mills and
Secretary Samuel T. Brown (19731982/10 years), who also served as
the Reporter for the Club to
the FEZ.
The details of the organization
of a Float representing Lenape
Valley Shrine Club are sketchy,
but it appears between 1973
and 1975, it came to fruition,
probably largely due to the efforts
of Nobles Bill Woehr, George Burg
and Ken Arrigy – all Charter
Members. In the first years, the
Float was towed by a Station
Wagon
owned
by
Noble
Bill Woehr.
History reports in 1976, “The
Lenape Valley Shrine Club’s
decorated Golf Cart and Trailer with
the Tee Pee and Indian or Indians,
are a familiar site to all Nobles at
LuLu Parades and Outings.”
The Club was named after the
Indians who roamed this section of
Bucks County years ago. The
Lenape Indians, who later became
part of the Delaware Tribe, were
from the Doylestown area. Hence,
the name of the Club became the
Lenape Valley Shrine Club.
About 1978, Noble George Burg
attended an Indian POW WOW in
Perkasie and met Art Thomas, a
Native American. They struck up a
friendship that lasted many years.
As a result, Art Thomas obtained
and presented to Noble Burg, an
authentic Indian Chief Headdress.
“Between 1976 and 1984, the
Float appeared in all the Imperial
Parades. By 1984, it was anticipated that five or six more Nobles
would be costumed shortly. It was
hoped that in the future years, that
with some help from the “Squaws”,
the number of Nobles in costume
would increase substantially.”
In 1982, Ill. Sir Bill Woehr asked
Noble John Milne to tow the Float to
Denver for the Imperial Parade. He
agreed, and also towed it to New
Orleans, in 1983.
By 1984, the Club had taken in
278 members and some 200 were
active. After a few years of holding
Dinner Meetings at Conti’s Crossed
Keys, the Club moved to the
Warrington Inn located at Route
611 and Bristol Roads at least until
1997, after which they variously
met at the Bucks County C.C.; the
U.G.H. Club, Bristol Road, Trevose;
The Erzgebirge Club, Davisville
Road, Warminster; The Valley
Stream Inn, Langhorne and finally,
since 2009, Guisseppi’s Restaurant,
Richboro. Since the founding, however, the Dinner Meeting has always
been the Third Tuesday of the
Month, except July and August.
In 1981, First Lady Catherine
Knorr, Chaired a Project for each
Unit and Club to “Latch Hook” a
Wall Hanging depicting their Group.
The “Lenape Squaws” met, agreed
on a design, had it approved, and it
was produced and is currently
displayed in the perimeter hall of
the Mosque.
Since founding, the Club has
attempted to have respected Speakers from Civic, Patriotic and
National Organizations; Local Police
Chiefs; I.R.S.; Social Security;
Hospitals; State Police; Moravian
Pottery Company; the F.B.I.; the
Coroner’s Office; Waste Management; Judges; a Medicine Man;
Drug Enforcement; Phila. Bomb
Squad,
etc.
Entertainments
included an Impersonation of Dolly
Madison; an Impersonation of
George Washington; the Kensington
Mis-Fits (a small string band), trips
to Music Theaters; trips to the
Casinos in Atlantic City, and the
LuLu KLOWNZ, etc.
In 1985, Noble Ed Mangan made
a significant donation to LuLu. He
presented the concrete tables and
benches for use in the Temple Court
Yard. They are still enjoyed by the
Temple, its Clubs and Units, as well
as outside renters for picnics and
receptions, etc. during the Summer
Season.
In the early years, a Picnic
was held in August, at various
locations; a Clam Bake was held
in the Fall; a Ladies’ Nite, usually
held in the Fall (the U.G.H. Club;
Williamson’s
Restaurant,
a
regular meeting place), and a
Holiday
Party
at
various
locations.
On June 6th, 1997, the Club
celebrated its 25th Anniversary
with a Dinner at Williamson’s
Banquet Hall. At that time, a
Moravian Ceramic Tile, significant of the Club, was created
and given to each attendee. The
one received by Noble John
Milne, P.P., has been donated to
LuLu, and can be seen in our
Lobby Display Case.
End of Part I – See Chapter 61
for “The Later Years”.
The Ides of March came
and went
Attention my LuLu family; it is now
time to play. Our Ladies celebrated
Women’s History Month. My Lady, Gail,
raved. The event was well attended. Kudos
to the committee. Personally, I would
encourage every LuLu Lady, their daughters and friends to attend the 2015
Women’s History Month Luncheon. Guys,
there was a benefit. The Honey Do List
was not touched.
The Potentate’s ball, likewise, was an
affair not to be missed. I have attended
MASA Potentate’s Balls. In comparison, we are as good as or
better than any other Temple. If you were not able to attend, you
missed an evening of fellowship. The production team, Ill Sir
Harry Reiter and his Lady Peggy; a job well done. Without their
dedication, this affair as well as others would not adhere to LuLu
standards.
In LuLu there is no rest. Full steam ahead. The circus, the
circus is coming. The committee is working diligently to arrange
four days of entertainment beyond reproach. Personally, I will be
a clown, who will amuse all as they enter the midway. I trust I
will welcome many Nobles, their families, and friends showing
their support for our Shrine and treating them to a great
experience.
To many, I may seem first a clown and second a Noble. I assure
you, that my legacy should be a LuLu Noble Clown who wants the
best for our Shrine. Who are ready to roll up their sleeves? Who
is ready to run with me? I cannot hear you.

LuLu Mounted Guard Helps Share the Load
With our horses still looking like Woolly Mammoth’s the
LuLu’s Mounted Guard decided not to bring them to the
St Patrick’s Day Parade but this did not stop us from participating. Ill Sir Bill Morwald pulled Bucks County’s Float,
our President Ron Schumann rowed the entire length of
the parade and both Dale Estes and I participated with the
Motor Unit.
March has not been the best month for our animals
Stole has had a hoof infection and Günter had to have
surgery. Both are recovering at this writing and we hope
to have them back up to snuff when you read this article.
Again this year we are having a weekend ride at Fair
Hill MD on the first weekend in May. This use to be a Mid
Atlantic Horse Assoc Ride but has been run by our own
Charles Roberts for the past few years. This year we have
seven rider’s
sighed for the
weekend. Drill
Master Ill Sir
Bill has set
practices
up
already started
with members
meeting every
Thursday
an
LuLu and will continue on through June with Tuesday’s
and Thursday’s set aside for practice. As you can tell we
want to come home with first place at Imperial. Speaking
of which our
plans already
include traveling to Minneapolis St Paul
for
Imperial
with our entire
Drill Team
On
April
27th we had a
Remembrance Gathering for Rachel Iglesias, Ill Sir
Manny’s wife of many years which we were privileged to
share a small part at LuLu Temple. Thank you Manny for
allowing us to share this time with you.
May 26th will be the Doylestown Memorial Day Parade
and again we have been asked to carry the Color’s for
LuLu, which we are always proud to do. With our new
Chuck Wagon and planning on using it at every parade and
we are still looking for both a driver and a Super Scooper.
There is no formal training needed for either possession.
May also brings the Circus back to town and we will all be
there to ride security and letting our guests get up and
personal with the horses.
We are also still looking for that eighth member for our
award winning Drill Team so if you have an interest in
horses, own a horse, or have ridden before our meetings
are on the fourth Tuesday of every month at LuLu Temple
in the Mounted Guard Room at 7:00. We hope to see you
soon and again thanks for your support.

“Noise from the Shooting Shed”
The LuLu Rod and Gun Club
By Tom Spoltore PP, LuLu Shriners Rod and Gun Club.
All right, All Right, All Right
That's
Academy
Award
winner
Mathew
McConaughey famous line. Congratulations to Mr.
McConaughey for his award winning performance.
That's quite a prestigious award, but hold on for a
minute. He has nothing on us. Before I explain why I
say that, let me tell you about some upcoming Rod &
Gun Club events.
The fishing trip
we announced in
the last Fez article
was sold out in a
couple of days.
This June we will
be driving to
Orleans, MA for
our big fishing
trip. It looks as
though we will have 18 guys looking to catch the big
ones. We are almost guaranteed to be stocking our
coolers with some good eating strippers. Our Sporting
Clays expert Karl Beckers who is also an avid fisherman hooked us up with a great deal. We will have an
experienced Capt. on each boat, rods, lures; bait and
even fish cleaning are included in the package at a
very reasonable price. All we have to do is sit back,
relax and enjoy the camaraderie and keep our lines in
the water.
Our club will also be attending a fly fishing
demonstration at the Orvis store in the Plymouth
Meeting Mall. If you're interested in attending,
check our web page for the time and date. This will
be our second fly fishing class there. The first one
was so interesting and informative that we decided
UPCOMING ROD & GUN CLUB EVENTS

to go back again this year. Whether you are
a novice
or an experienced angler, when it comes to fishing
every little bit of information helps.
As you can see by the attached picture our Pres. and
member Larry Miller had a GREAT Day of fishing. They
went out with Dave one of the guides from (Koinonia
Guide Service) that came to one of our meetings and
instructed us on how to catch fish and boy did they ever
do that, 16 Small Mouth Bass in 4 hours.
Our Top Shot competition is scheduled for April 5th,
so stand by for the top shot winner announcement in
the next Fez article. Matthew McConaughey, eat your
heart out, because in our opinion, the Academy award
pales in comparison to our Top Shot Trophy.
Speaking of shooting we will be having at least one
shooting event every month. Those events will include
trap, sporting clays and handguns. Our resident hunting
guide Chas Pierro is already planning a fall trip for some
pheasant hunting and sporting clays. So stay in the loop.
Check out our web site on LuLu's web page for all of our
events, meetings and club updates.
Hey before we sign off, the winner of the last month
quiz was Gary Portnoy. He responded with the correct
reason to bury the rear site. If you are shooting a fixed
sight hand gun and it is shooting low, you put the front
sight blade higher than the rear sight blade, which
causes the bullet to elevate. I told you it was any easy
question. The next trivia contest winner will be
receiving a $25.00 WAWA gift card. Here it is, what type
of fish do you need to catch in Pennsylvania to be issued
an angler award from the state, and how long does that
fish have to be? All the correct responses will be eligible
for winning the prize.

“Sightings From The Crow’s Nest”
Ahoy!! Yachtsmen Land Lubbers Wanna Be’s
By Carl Levin, President
If you missed the Rendezvous in Jamison the
weekend of April 4th and 5th, to honor Commodore
Dean of LuLu Yacht Club and Commodore Skip
Garlits of Crescent Yacht Club, you missed a great
weekend!
With Hospitality on Friday, local Tours on Saturday, plus an evening Dinner at the Buck Club, with
Entertainment by “The Joey Vincent Show”, the combined Yachtsmen and 58 Ladies of the two Yacht
Clubs, had a fantastic time!!
A few Nobles and Ladies of LuLu will next come
ashore May 15th-18th to assist “Operation Circus” at
the LuLu Arena.
Memorial Day Weekend, the Crew will again
rendezvous at the Elk River, (MD) Community Picnic
area. Memorial Day Services will be held on Sunday
at 12:00 Noon, followed by a fantastic Cook-Out! Last
year, some 60 Nobles, Ladies and Friends attended.
All Shriners, Ladies and Friends are Welcome! Make
Reservations by calling Noble Shane Couturier at
484-366-2300.
Our May/June Social Activity will be in Ocean City
26
(NJ). Our Bunks will be
at The Forum Motel,
8th and Atlantic. We will
Parade on the Boardwalk Saturday afternoon. Hospitality is
included with reservations through The Arab
Patrol.
Next Issue will provide details about the
MAASYC Rendezvous in
The Old Salt
July in “The Solomon’s”
(MD).
Why not participate with “The Greatest Yacht Club
in Shrinedom”! Send a message to Noble Harry Speth,
P.C., for information and a Petition to become a Member
(215-682-0450).
With Sympathy, we note the passing of Noble Oliver
Goldman, a member since 1981.
Until we see you again through the binoculars –
