NH Consistory Confers 32° Upon 54
Scottish Rite Masons at Spring Reunion
Fifty-four Scottish Rite Masons became Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret at the 147th
Spring Reunion of New Hampshire Consistory held on April 30, 2011 at Nashua High School
South.
The Reunion started with a flag ceremony given by New Hampshire Rainbow, followed by
Commander-in-Chief Robert G. Bianchi, 33° giving a brief presentation about the structure
of Scottish Rite to members and their guests.
Then, Tommy Vee, a stage Comedian/Hypnotist, brought members of the audience on
stage, and after putting them under hypnosis, took them through a series of light-hearted
scenarios. All were entertained as several of our Brothers, and some spouses, rode on a
bus, put on a concert, flew in a plane, and even followed a “hypnotizing boomerang”.
The ladies then departed for an afternoon of pampering while the candidates and members
saw the 22°, Prince of Libanus, a singing degree commonly called the “Woodchopper‟s
Degree”, a memorable performance directed by Ill Roger M. Clark, 33°.
After the reception of the Deputy, Ill Richard W. Elliot, 33°, candidates and members saw
an inspiring 31° and 32° presented in a combined format, with the 31°, Knight Aspirant,
directed by Ill Roger J. Pellerin, 33°, M.S.A. and Ill Thomas S. Lowe, 33° performed in
the middle of the 32°, Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret , directed by Ill George D. Van
Dyke, 33°, M.S.A. and Ill William E. Bryant, 33°, M.S.A.

Joint Fall Reunion

At their conclusion, the Commander-in-Chief invited the ladies to return to the auditorium as
the candidates and their ladies were brought on stage to receive their 32° jewel and lapel pin.
Ill Brother Bianchi then called up Brother Randolph Hilman, 32° and presented him with a
32° jewel, explaining that Bro. Hilman was the person who had suggested that after 60-years
since stopping the tradition, that jewels be once again presented to new candidates. Following the presentation, a buffet banquet was served in the cafeteria.

Rizzo Receives Notable Service Award
Thomas C. Rizzo received the Notable Service Award at the Stated Rendezvous of New Hampshire Consistory
held Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Ill Robert G. Bianchi, 33°, Commander-in-Chief, made the presentation.
The Notable Service Award (N.S.A.) is presented by the Commander-in-Chief to a Scottish Rite Mason for his
exemplary and distinguished service to New Hampshire Consistory.
Brother Rizzo has taken an active part in Valley degrees since joining Consistory in the Spring of 2007; most
notably as Constans in the 31°, and this Spring taking the same role in the 32°. He also serves on the Board of
Governors of the Children‟s Dyslexia Center in Nashua.
Brother Rizzo joins twenty-nine other living recipients in being recognized for his dedication with the N.S.A.
The Hospitaler Fund
Relief for a Brother
In these recent hard economic times, the need for fraternal assistance has grown. For Scottish Rite
Masons, that aid comes from the Hospitaler Fund. A Brother-in-need, after going to his Blue Lodge for
relief, can get assistance from his Scottish Rite Valley. Requests are made privately to the presiding
officer of any of the four Scottish Rite Bodies. The request is then reviewed and acted upon.
In the Valley of Nashua, the Hospitaler of the four Scottish Rite Bodies is G. Rayond Palmer. His duty
is to maintain the Hospitaler Fund and report on moneys collected and amounts given out for relief.
If you know of a Brother needing assistance, contact one of the presiding officers. And when you see
Brother Palmer at a Reunion or meeting with a basket collecting donations, please give generously to
the Hospitaler Fund. Your contribution will help a distressed, worthy Brother.

Signs in Masonry—The Double-Headed Eagle
Where did it originate?
From the Appendix to the Constitutions of the Supreme Council, is this historical statement by William John
Chetwode Crawley, distinguished Irish scholar, historian, and Freemason (1844-1915), from the 1911 Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 of London (Vol. 24, pp. 21-24) -
“The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash is the oldest Royal Crest in the world...No heraldic bearing, no
emblematic device of today can boast such antiquity. It was in use a thousand years before the Exodus
from Egypt and more than 2,000 years before the building of King Solomon's Temple.”
"As time rolled on, it passed from the Sumerians to the men of Akkad, from the men of Akkad to the Hittites, from the denizens of Asia Minor to the Seljukian Sultans from whom it was brought by the Crusaders to the Emperors of the East and West, whose successors were the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs."
"In 102 B.C. the Roman Consul Marius decreed that the Eagle be displayed as a symbol of Imperial
Rome. Later, as a world power, Rome used the Double-Headed Eagle, one head facing the East the other facing the West, symbolizing the
universality and unity of the Empire. The Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire continued its use and the symbol was adopted later in Germany during the halcyon days of conquest and imperial power".
“So far as is known, the double-headed eagle was first used in Freemasonry in 1758 by a Masonic body in Paris--The Emperors of the East
and West. During a brief period the Masonic Emperors of the East and West controlled the advanced degrees then in use and became a
precursor of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.”
What does it mean?
Excerpts from the April 1923 issue of The Builder—
“M. Heuzey...says: 'It may, I think, be presumed that the double-headed eagle...is a beneficent emblem representing a protecting power.
We...are justified in believing that it symbolizes a duality of power, a blending of two names, two functions and two dominions in one body.”
“...it stood for a union of solar and celestial forces; as a royal crest it has stood for power and dominion, and as a religious seal it stands for
truth and justice.
“As a Masonic symbol this device is time honoured and appropriate. It ...suggests an equal contemplation of both sides of a question-and
thus, judicial balance. And, as in ancient Mesopotamia, the double eagle is here associated with the sun symbol ... meaning: „The light toward which my eyes are turned.‟
“Thus does the double-headed eagle stand today for that which it stood in ancient days, its two heads, facing the Ultimate Sun, reminding
men and Masons that there is yet even "more light" for the pilgrim who travels East, and in whose heart is the motto, „SPES MEA IN DEO
EST.‟ ”
