will ask that you get those petitions
in now so that we can welcome more
new Nobles and their Ladies into the
best Shrine Temple in Shrinedom,
and without a doubt, the greatest
Philanthropy on earth!
Illustrious Sir Bob Maxwell
Greetings to all,
In June, we welcomed a number
of new Nobles and their Ladies. I
trust that they will get involved and
enjoy their membership at Kosair
as much as I and my Lady do. We
have a number of things to offer
them and without a doubt, I know
that the Nobility will make them
feel welcome and at home. Our next
Ceremonial will be November 9th. I
A number of events have taken place
since my last message. I would like
to report that your entire Divan and
their Ladies, as a group, participated
in all the events at the Imperial
Session held in Indianapolis, IN.
We enjoyed the Public Opening,
the Ladies enjoyed the luncheon,
the men enjoyed the Membership
Luncheon, we thoroughly enjoyed
the Imperial’s evening, and attended
the Public Relations and Pageantry
for the newly installed Imperial
Potentate, Imp. Sir John Cinotto,
Murat Shrine. A big thank you to
Noble Perry Adams and his Lady
Cheryl for manning the hospitality
room. Everyone enjoyed being able
to get together. The Parade was a
little damp, but then the entire week
proved to be quite rainy, but it did
not dampen the spirit of the Kosair
Nobility and their Ladies. We had
a number of Nobles and Ladies from
Kosair attend, and I know if I tried
to name all of them, I would leave
someone out so I will just say “thank
you” for your support.
On July 6th, the Divan Ladies,
assisted by two Past First Ladies,
Carol Sewell and Brenda Reiss,
held a Baby Shower for Angel Miles,

our bartender. Many Ladies of
Kosair attended, and I understand
that Angel was so excited, she was
shaking.
On July 12th at the Friday Night
Dinner, Maddie Tally, an 8 year
old, the daughter of Noble Clint
and Kerry Tally, granddaughter
of Charlene Tally and the late
Noble Robert Tally, presented
the Potentate and Ill. Sir Eddie
Chrisman, PP, Secretary for Kosair
Charities, with money collected from
a Lemonade Stand that she set-up
and operated so that she could help
the kids. When the Nobility and
their Ladies in attendance heard
her story, the money flowed freely,
and she collected more than she
ever expected. As it is often said,
it takes everyone working together
to make something successful, and
this little girl helped to make my
year as your Potentate a success
by her willingness to give of herself
so that others could have a normal
life. This is the second time your
Potentate has received money from a
child for the children in the hospital.
The first was at the Beans ‘n Jeans
when the Etheridges’ grandsons
made their presentation. Wouldn’t
it be great if we all had the heart of
a child?
July 19th found many at the Temple
in their pajamas. What a party! If
you missed it, you missed a great
time. The food was good and so was
the music. I even surprised my Lady
as it was her birthday so, as they
say, the party was on! Thank you
to everyone who participated.

possible.

The next two days found your Divan
in attendance at the Sam Swope
Road Rally events. The Divan
Ladies helped with the registration,
then helped serving the lunch at the
Temple. What a great day we had.
The rain held off and the bikers had
a great ride. I do not have the final
total raised for Kosair Charities,
but I know it was over $140,000.00.
A big thank you to Ill. Sir David
Owen, PP and his entire committee
for a job well done. A big round of
applause for the Noble who makes
it all possible – Noble Sam Swope!
The end of July found your Divan
attending the Lexington Shrine
Hospital Board of Governor’s
weekend. This is where we are
brought up-to-date on what is
taking place in the Imperial Shrine
Hospitals. Big things and changes
are on the horizon. Each year the
Ladies of the various Divans that
support the Lexington Hospital put
together baskets for a raffle that
benefits the children in the hospital.
Kosair is very proud of our Divan
Ladies. I do believe they had the
biggest and the best basket! Great
job Ladies!
August 2nd and 3rd found some
of your Divan members attending
the Potentate’s Ball in Knoxville,
TN. Kerbela Shrine always makes
everyone feel welcome.
SESA was held in Huntsville, AL
this year. Your Divan attended
and enjoyed the festivities. SASA
will be held in Myrtle Beach, SC. A
beach front hotel, sand and water,
dolphins swimming in plain view,
a hospitality room and especially
good friends make for a wonderful
trip! Sorry you missed it all? Well,
make plans to attend these events
next year.
On August 26th, approximately 42
Nobles and Ladies departed for the
Alaska Cruise. I will report more on
this later. As I have stated time and
again, one of the hardest things to do
as Potentate is to write this article,
as it must be in before many of the
events have actually taken place.
The weekend of September 6th
and 7th will find your Divan and
their Ladies attending the Rizpah
Potentate’s Ball in Madisonville,
KY. What a wonderful relationship
Kosair has with its sister Temples
not only in Kentucky, but throughout
the entire Shrine organization.

The Kosair Family Picnic will be
held September 14th, Noon – 5 P.M.
at the Tri-County Shrine Club Picnic
area; the Greeters will be grilling
Big Daddy Pork Chops and hot dogs
for the kids; Mid-Life Crisis will be
playing from 1 P.M. – 4 P.M. for your
pleasure. You don’t want to miss
this one. In order to have enough
food, I will ask that you call the office
and let them know how many will be
attending no later than August 31st.
I am looking forward to sharing the
day with the Kosair Family.
cont. from pg.1
the hospital with her were Ladies Marsha Maxwell, 1st Lady of Kosair,
Grand Recorder, PGHP; Vivian Wall, HP; Mary Wolf, PHP; and Sandy
McCaslin, 1stCL.
October 11th and 12th will find us
at the Holiday Inn Hurstbourne
Lane for the Kosair Potentate’s Ball.
Dust off those dancing shoes and
get out those ball gowns! The band
will be the Monarch’s. The cost will
be $100 per couple or $50 single.
Contact the front office for details
and reservations by October 1st.
What about our new home? Well the
new Temple is progressing slowly,
but things are moving along. All of
the cylinders have been removed,
and we are waiting on the design
and plans for the actual floor space.
Once this has been completed, the
next item on the agenda will be to
take bids for the actual construction.
Remember, nothing worth doing is
accomplished overnight so let’s take
the time needed to do it right and
have a Temple to be proud of instead
of saying, “we should have done” this
or that.
I will close for now but it’s not the
end. There’s more to come in the
next few months. Remember, you
get out of something, exactly what
you put into it. Join us for the Friday
Night Dinners, the various events
that are planned for your pleasure
and at your request, and be an active
member not just a card-carrying
couch potato!
Yours in the Faith of the Shrine,
Bob Maxwell

The “Rite” Stuff
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? The
month of August Louisville Scottish
Rite goes dark. We took the month
off for a breather from the last
12 months of reunions, Stated
Meetings, Family night Dinners and
all of the other meetings that take
place at the Temple.
A time to reflect, “WHAT HAVE I
DONE FOR SCOTTISH RITE”?
Brothers there are numerous areas
at the RITE where you can become a
member of the Scottish Rite Guard.
Beginning with the RECEPTION
COMMITTEE where you meet and
greet Brothers as they enter the
Temple. The SCOTTISH RITE
CHOIR. Louisville Scottish Rite
is the only valley in the Orient of
Kentucky that has live music and a
choir. If you like to sing, this is the
place for you. There is the STAGE
CREW, who sets up the auditorium
for each of the degrees during the
reunions. The ROBING ROOM
where you help the cast of each of
degrees get ready to go on stage to
perform the degrees. If you like to
cook, you can join the KITCHEN
CREW who prepares all of the
meals for our Family Night Dinners,
dinners for the degrees and all of our
luncheons. There is the Scottish Rite
Guard who serves the meal at each
of our dinners.
will be served at 12 noon. There is
no cost for the meal. Come on down
and fellowship with your Brethren.
On Thursday September 12th there
is a FAMILY NIGHT dinner. Dinner
will be served at 6:30p.m... We will
retire to the auditorium for the
presentation of service awards. As
always there is no cost for the meal,
just call the office 584-6185 and
make reservations for you and your
guest. There is free parking in the
garage next door.
September 27th and 28th will be our
ROY LEE MONTFORT SR. 2 day
Reunion. Opening ceremonies will
start at 8:00a.m. Friday morning
Sept 27th. If you have a candidate
come and support him, if not come
and support the cast of each degree.
Make it two days of reunion and
renewal. Renew old friendships,
make new ones and renew your
obligations to the RITE.
Bill Meyer, 33°, Wise Master

Baby Shower for an Angel
On July 6th, the Divan Ladies,
with the assistance of Past First
Ladies Carol Sewell and Brenda
Reiss, hosted a “Baby Shower”
for Angel Miles, the Temple
bartender. Angel received many
gifts such as clothing, diapers,
bibs, gift cards, a high chair and
a pack ‘n play, just to mention
a few. The Greeterettes filled a
basket to the brim with goodies
for the new arrival. One thing
is for sure, when Baby Abraham
arrives, he will be a well-dressed
little fellow! The dining room was
decorated in blue with balloons,
beautiful tablecloths and napkins
all welcoming the new arrival
in style. Sandwiches, fruit,
pinwheels, chips, mints, nuts,
punch and of course a cake were
enjoyed by all. All enjoyed the
games and everyone had a great
time. Thank you Kosair Ladies;
you are the very best!! Photos
compliments of Sherry Gott.

Arkansas Statement
Imperial representatives of Shriners
International voted to make a
change to its articles of incorporation
regarding membership at the 139th
Imperial Session. The prerequisite
requiring that members of Shriners
International are first members
of Freemasonry (Masons) in good
standing has been amended to
exclude the requirement for the state
of Arkansas.
This legislation was brought forth by
the two Shrine temples in Arkansas
following the Arkansas Grand Lodge
edict last November that would no
longer allow anyone to remain an
Arkansas Mason AND an Arkansas
Shriner. Shriners International has
always had a Masonic prerequisite
and regrets that the actions of the
Arkansas Grand Lodge made the
passage of this legislation necessary
to preserve the existence of the two
Shrine temples in Arkansas.
Shriners International is committed
to maintaining open lines of
communication with the Grand Lodge
of Arkansas to encourage amicable
Unhearalded and unseen,
the Black Camel, that dread
messenger of death, invaded
the sacred precincts of Kosair
Shriners on June 14, 2013. His
Rider through the vast desert of
the Unknown, on the pilgrimage
to that Unseen Temple where no
pilgrim ere returned, was our
beloved Verlon Gosser, Potentate
of Kosair in 1977 and 1978.
Verlon was a Noble universally
liked and respected. He is now
sadly missed and mourned by his
many friends and family. Kind,
ever willing, and honest in his
friendships, he endeared himself
to all who knew him.
Farewell, Noble Verlon, may we
all meet again at the bright Oasis,
which will be as a sacred boon
to the weary traveler seeking
shelter under the protecting
dome of God’s goodly Temple.
Verlon was the owner and
operator of Allpest Chemical
Company, operating in four
Kentucky cities. He loved
his country and community,
demonstrated by his active
involvement: he served in the
2nd Marine Division, World
War II, Asiatic Theater; he
was a Past Potentate of Kosair
Shrine Temple and a member
of the Kosair Provost unit; a
former board member of Kosair
Charities; a charter member,
Paul Harris Fellow and past
president of South Louisville
Rotary Club; a charter member
and past president of the Sertoma
Club; a member of Louisville
#400 Masonic Lodge; a member
of the Valley of Louisville
Scottish Rite (33 degree); a
charter member and past
president of the Kentucky Pest
Control Association; a volunteer
deputy for the Jefferson County
Sheriff’s Department; a past
member of the Selective Service
draft board; a past president of
the Cloverleaf Neighborhood
Association; and a member of

The “Rite” Stuff
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? The
month of August Louisville Scottish
Rite goes dark. We take the month
off for a breather from the last
12 months of reunions, Stated
Meetings, Family night Dinners and
all of the other meetings that take
place at the Temple.
A time to reflect, “WHAT HAVE I
DONE FOR SCOTTISH RITE”?

Kosair Boat Club
- By Mike Grant
We spent a warm summer day in
June, at Mike Linning’s on the
river. We had our own private
room overlooking the grounds
and everyone enjoyed the fish,
frog legs, scallops, shrimp and
all the trimmings. (see picture)
July was a very busy month
for the Boat Club – it actually
started out in June with the
arrival of Santa at the kick-off
party for “Christmas in July”.
Then our ladies shopped for gifts
for the children. On July 17th,
thanks to Carol and Allan Sewell
for allowing us to use the room,
at Sewell Electronics, we had a
potluck dinner of ham and all
the sides and then put the toys
together in bags for delivery
to the children. On Saturday,
July 20th, we met with Santa
and took the toys to the kids
at Kosair Children’s Hospital,
for “Christmas in July”, if you
missed this event – you missed
a wonderful experience, as it was
so rewarding to see the children
smile as they greeted Santa and
received their gifts. Such Joy!!!!
Thanks go to all who helped put
this big event together!
