VOLUME 40/5 MARCH 2016
Ladies of the household,
It doesn't seem possible that a
whole year has gone by. Without
the help of everyone it would
have been impossible to get things
done. Thanks everyone for the
help and support that you gave me
this year. A lot of you stepped
forward and gave me a hand when
I was having a hard time getting around and helped
carry things for me when I wasn't able to do it myself.
Princess Royal has been a big help anytime I needed
help all I had to do was call and she jumped in and did
a lot of leg work if I couldn't do it myself. Also princess Tirzah and Princes Badoura. Some of my ideas
didn't get done this year but hopefully Princess Pat
will have some other ideas and be able to get more
done this next year. A great big thanks to all the Past
Queens for your encouragement and help; when I
asked you to step in and pro -tem when I needed you.
I am looking forward to joining you soon.
The luncheon fashion show was great as always. PQ
Marcia thanks for another great job as always and the
hard work that goes with arranging it.
I have enjoyed myself this year but now is the time to
hand over the gavel to Princess Pat and let her have
the honors.
Again thank you for the support and help this year.
Queen Anita

new princesses into our order in January.

MEET OUR NEW PRINCESSES
Aquarius Temple initiated four new members on January 10th when Supreme Queen Sharon St John made
her official visit. Here is a brief introduction to these
four lovely ladies.
Princess Leslie L. DeLorenzo – Princess Leslie was
born in a small town about 30 miles NE of Nashville,
TN. She grew up and attended college in the Nashville
area. She moved to South Florida in the early 80’s to
complete her college education. She graduated from
Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor of Arts in
Languages in Linguistics. Princess Leslie speaks Spanish fluently.
Princess Leslie married her husband, George 9 years
ago. They currently live in Port St Lucie. Princess
Leslie has no children. She worked as a litigation paralegal specializing in family and personal injury law.
However, after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis she was forced to retire.
Princess Leslie heard about Shriners Hospitals for
Children® when she was a child. Her nephew has Cerebral Palsy and had other birth defects and was treated
at the Lexington Unit. He had 7 surgeries before he
turned 18. He just celebrated his 46 birthday and is
able to walk with the aid of a walker because of the
excellent treatment he received at Shriners Hospitals
for Children®.
Princess Leslie likes to research her family tree and
enjoys scrapbooking in her spare time. She is very
thrilled to be a Daughter of the Nile and although because of the M.S. she suffers from fatigue, she hopes
she is able to become active in the Daughters of the
Nile.
Princess Roberta Fox – Roberta was born and raised
New York City. She and her husband, Howard, have
been married 50 years. They have three children; 2
sons and one daughter and four grandchildren. The
family moved to South Florida 45 years ago, so Princess Roberta considers herself practically a native Floridian. They currently live in Lighthouse Point.
After her children were grown, Princess Roberta ran a
group travel agency and organized many motor coach
trips. Now that she has retired from her business, Princess Roberta enjoys aerobics, which allows her to indulge in her other two hobbies; eating and shopping.
Howard served as Hospital Chairman for Amara Temple for several years and is currently serving as Oriental Guide. Princess Roberta says she feels very honored to be a Daughter of the Nile and looks forward to
becoming active in our temple.
Princess Virginia (Ginny) Hoehmann – Princess
Ginny was born and lived in Newark New Jersey
where she met and married her husband, Ron. Ron was
a chemical engineer and worked for Shell Oil before
moving to South Florida in 1972. The lived in Pompano and Boca Raton before moving to Atlantis in 1989.
After moving to Florida, Princess Ginny did secretarial
work for various South Florida companies and is currently working part time for a car repair shop in
Boynton Beach. Princess Ginny did ceramics for
many years. Ron was also very artistic and her home is
filled with many lovely examples of their art work.
Princess Ginny is also an avid sports fan.
Ron died in May of 2015 after a long illness. They
were married 55 years and have two children and five
grandchildren. Princess Ginny adopted a rescue dog,
Katie, this summer. Katie is part golden retriever and
very playful.
Princess Ginny keeps busy with her job and church
activities. She was a guest at two of our Nefertiti meetings and is looking forward to getting involved in our
temple.
Princess Iris F. Zimmerman –Iris was born in Manhasset, New York and then grew up in Maryland before meeting her husband online in 1999 and moving
to Boston. Iris and her husband, Howard, were married in 2001 and moved to South Florida in
2002. They have two adopted sons, Carl who is 11
and Seth who is 9. Carl is in Middle School and Seth
has a mild form of autism and attends Palm Beach
School for Autism which caters to his special needs.
The family also has a Maltichon puppy, Torah, who is
being trained to become Seth's service dog. Princess
Iris recently lost her only sibling, who lived with Iris
and her family, her sister, to brain cancer in December
2013 and lost her best friend, her mom, unexpectedly
in December 2014. Princess Iris did her 1st 5K walk
last year in participating in the Brain Cancer Walk in
memory of her sister and hopes to make it an annual
walk for herself.
Princess Iris works full time as office manager for a
funeral home. She likes to read fiction; mostly mysteries. John Grisham is one of her favorite authors.
With her recent losses, Princess Iris is thrilled to be a
member of Daughters of the Nile and hopes to become
active in our temple.
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.
It might be the only sunshine she sees all day.
IN LOVING MEMORY
PAST QUEEN DOROTHY LOVELL
Dorothy Jenkins Histed Arbogast Lovell 93, was a
founder and Charter Member of Aquarius Temple.
She was our third Queen and was very active in the
organization for all the time she lived in the area. Dorothy died January 20, 2016 in Ormond Beach, Florida.
The Daughters of the Nile memorial service as well as
the OES memorial service were performed at her request
See Honor Roll for additional information.
PR BETTY DANGERFIELD
Betty Dangerfield 87, was originally initiated into Nahum Temple No 76 in Miami but recently
transferred her membership to
Aquarius. She died on January
22, 2016
She was an accomplished pianist and it was so nice to
listen to her playing. She liked the arts, and for the
past several years coordinated members of Zuliema
Club with tickets to the wonderful wind and percussion band concert at IRSC with Holiday music in December. The memorial service was quite unique as
part of the service was piano recital music recorded in
1950 at her Senior Recital in Miami.
Members of Aquarius performed the memorial service
requested by Betty.
PRINCESS RECORDERS
MESSAGE
Ladies of the Household,
It is that time of year again when dues
notices have gone out in February for
the 2016-2017 dues. I do have our new dues cards
available at this time, however there are still a few
members who have not remitted the current 2015-2016
dues. Please check your dues card. If it is not a white
card, then you will soon be in arrears. The current year
needs to be paid by March 31, 2016 in order not to be
suspended from our beautiful Order. Do you remember your initiation? Do you remember that feeling of
doing something to help make a difference in some
child’s life struggle with a medical infirmity? Have
you recently seen the infomercials for the Shriners
Hospitals and feel yourself swell with pride knowing
you have a part in them being able to help those physi-
cians and medical staff that care for those unfortunate
children? If you do, please look at your card again and
if it doesn’t show 2015-2016 on it, please remit your
dues. Don’t give up your chance to give that helping
hand, even if you can’t attend or be active, just know
that your dues help to keep us active and able to contribute to that great philanthropy! I thank each and
every one of you who will read this and respond. I
know that I am proud to be a Daughter of the Nile and
do my little part for our Children. Our dues are $20.00
plus the $8.00 per Capita that Supreme Temple has
levied on each member. Please make your $28 check
payable to Aquarius Temple No. 138 and mail c/o
5347 Pennock Point Road, Jupiter, FL 33458. If possible, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope
for return of your dues card.

PAST QUEEN DOROTHY LOVELL
July 6, 1923-January 20, 2016
Editors Note: Never before have we selected a member for the Honor Roll that has passed away, but I feel
that in this case, Past Queen Dorothy Lovell should be
so honored. She moved to Ormond Beach in 1993, so
only a few of the older members know and remember
her, but this will show you what a grand lady she was.
Dorothy Jean Daughterty was born July 6, 1923 in Jasonville, Indiana. She graduated high school where she
excelled in band (sousaphone), orchestra, track, and
basketball. She majored in Commerce and worked in
the school office, and was a member of the Sigma Alpha Sorority. In 1945 they moved to Jupiter Florida
with their daughter Barbara when her first husband got
out of the Navy. A year later she had her son Donald
Jenkins. That marriage ended in divorce and a year
and a half later she married Ernie Histed. They had
Kathleen. Ernie died when Kathy was 11.
There was little Dorothy Jean (always to her family)
could not do. From 1949-1955 she was appointed Police Chief of Jupiter, Fl. by the City Council. I was
told she was issued a 38 caliber revolver and a badge.
There was not a jail, officers or any other employees in
the department so no arrests were made. Her badge
was on display at the memorial service but we did not
get to see the 38 revolver.
She was very active in community affairs, also became
President of the Jupiter Woman’s Club, American Legion Auxiliary, and the Palm Beach County Federation
of Women’s Club.
She also served as town clerk, tax assessor and tax collector. She helped establish the town boundaries and
helped write a new charter for the Town of Jupiter.
She was instrumental in getting a new Town Hall and
convinced a developer to donate land for the American
Legion Hall; all while raising children and teaching
Sunday School. She was also a substitute teacher,
taught baton, and became PTA president. In 1955 she
opened her own florist shop and grew most of her own
flowers. From 1957 to 1982 she worked for Schooley
Cadillac in West Palm Beach as an accountant, office
manager and personal secretary.
Her life was full as an avid reader, musician, bridge
player, champion ballroom dancer, tapper, member of
Royal Palm Beach Chorus of Sweet Adeline’s. She
loved opera, crossword puzzles, Jeaprody and cooking.
She traveled throughout the US and abroad.
Her love life was far from what a young woman would
want or expect. She became Dorothy Jenkins, Histed,
Arbogast Lovell, and was engaged to a man who died
before they got married. She lost three husbands to
heart disease.
She was a 74 year member of Order of the Eastern Star
and was the second Worthy Matron of Star of Jupiter
Chapter.
Dorothy was a charter member and one of the founders
of Aquarius Temple No 138 and served as the third
Queen in 1978. Her sister PQ Lucille Turner from Teri
-Sheri No 60, Fort Wayne, Indiana came to Aquarius
Temple to be the Installing Officer for Dorothy Jean.
Lucille, age 98, was helped to the podium to speak at
the memorial service held for her sister, and related
some stories about Dorothy. Dorothy served as Pr Recorder for many years and vacated that position when
she moved to Ormond Beach in 1993 and Hunter’s
Ridge in 2001. She was active in the Hunter’s Ridge
Woman’s Club serving as president, a member of the
Book Club and active in her church.
I felt that it was a privilege to know and be a friend of
such a woman. Dorothy did not do any job any way
except to the very best of her ability. I talked on the
phone to her about 4 days before she died. She was prepared for her journey to her eternal home, and she told me
she wanted both the OES and the DON memorial ceremony
performed at her service. In talking with her daughter
Barbara, I related her request. What a wonderful lady
Barbara is, but what else could anyone expect having
Dorothy as her mother.
So, early February 13, 2016 this group motored to
Christ Presbyterian Church, Ormond Beach for an 11
am service. There was Worthy Matron and Worthy
Patron Linda and Malcolm Rhinehart, Queen Anita
Hoefs, PQ’s Charlyn Coleman, Doris Brown, Judy
Meng, and Marla Jury who carried out the two services. .
The service was planned by Dorothy. It began with the
OES and DON ceremonies, musical prelude of “How
Great Thou Art”, hymn “In the Garden” and a violin
solo “Thais”, a slide show, words from PQ Doris
Brown, PQ Lucille Turner (Dorothy’s sister) granddaughter Ariann Owen, and finished with daughter
Barbara West.
Barbara then introduced her Hawaiian Dance group
whom she joined to dance to “Flying with Angles”.
After a brief message, the hymn “Just a Closer Walk
With Thee” was sung, and following a prayer the
service was concluded.
As her daughter said, even though her mother did not
have a formal education beyond high school, she was
so smart and self educated. I always considered her a
“classy” lady.
Dorothy was survived by her daughters Barbara West,
Kathleen Owen and son Donald Jenkins, seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and two greatgreat grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews
and a family of friends and sisters from many organizations. As you lived your life to the fullest my
friend, may God move over now and let you fly with
the angels.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU
Ladies of the household:
A great big thank you to everyone who either donated
or placed a bid on a silent auction item at the fashion
show! I was extremely pleased with the way things
went. This was my first time serving as chairman and
boy was I scared that things would go wrong. What a
waste of energy that was! I could not have asked for a
better experience, I know that the reason for the success was because of each and every one of you.
Aquarius Temple has the best. Thank you to my helpers, Pr Linda Muller, Pr Charlene Moreland and
Shelly Elliott. These ladies had everything under control and stayed by my side every moment.
Well soon I will be able to relinquish the title of Junior Past Queen and will become another "Past Queen".
Thank you for allowing me to take this journey. It has
been a wonderful and a very rewarding adventure.
In Nile Love& Devotion
Linda Rhinehart, JPQ Silent Auction Chairman
It is a “few years” later now. I am still learning what
Nile is all about, but the time has flown so fast. Three
years ago I decided to continue my Nile journey and
ran for the position of Pr. Badoura for Aquarius Temple No 138. I wrote an article about my first trip ever
to Supreme Session. I had such a great time. Met
wonderful women and learned even more!
I am now coming to the end of the year as Princess
Royal. Where has this year gone? Aquarius Temple
held a dinner for the great guys and gal of the Road
Runners Unit. These marvelous people chauffeur the
Shrine patients to the Tampa Hospital. We had a huge
turnout to honor our drivers! Thank you to all who
participated. The Purse Auction was a good way for
some of us to find new homes for our unused items.
The Style Show and Silent Auction was again a grand
affair. We had a record number of attendees. A trip
to Montreal, Canada, to see the Dedication of the new
Shriners Hospital for Children was a highlight for me.
And the time flies by.
“Thank You” to all who have made this a memorable
year for me as your Pr. Royal.

Change Your Thinking
It will take just about a minute to read this and change
your thinking...
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour
each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window. The
other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children
sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in
arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of
the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the
man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would
close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man
could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's
eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with
descriptive words.
Days, weeks and months passed. One morning the
day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to
find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who
had died peacefully in his sleep. The nurse was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the
body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and
after making sure he was comfortable, she left him
alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He
strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside
the bed. It faced a blank wall!
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled
his deceased roommate to described such wonderful
things outside this window. The nurse responded that
the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”
Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making
others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief
is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things
you have that money can not buy.

the doing of your work is no miracle, you are the miracle.
Blessed are women whose hearts and souls are joined
by laughter and tears. These women are Nile sisters.

In 1981 I attended a conference in Cincinnati and
while there I visited the Shriners Hospital for Children
Burn Center. I was very active in the Hollywood
Shrine Club Shrinettes, and hoped to speak about it to
the members. I met with the social worker so that I
might have a list of items we might be able to supply
for the patients. I was also given a short tour of the
facility and was most interested in the concept of
“dirty” and “clean” operating rooms and the supply of
skin in a vat frozen for transplantation.
The social worker told me that the children wanted

Cook pasta until al dente, drain and set aside.
Prepare cheese sauce. Begin warming 1 cup milk over medium
heat. Whisk together the remaining 1/2 c. milk and the flour till no
lumps. When you see steam rising from the warming milk, whisk
in milk and flour mixture. Whisk gently until thickens to consistency of heavy cream, 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and begin adding handfuls of cheese into milk.
Add salt and mustard. Stir until cheese has melted and sauce is
creamy. Adjust to taste. Remove from heat.
Combine pasta and 1/2 cheese sauce in large serving bowl. Coat
pasta evenly. Add remaining sauce and any extra add-ins. Serve
immediately.

foil and bake 350 F for 30 minutes. Remove covering, sprinkle
with bread crumbs and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes
until top is golden and the interior is bubbly. Enjoy.
