He worked for Washington National Life Insurance for over 30 years retiring as District Manager. He worked for a period as a Bank Officer for Citizens Bank of Grand Prairie. He then became business manager for the L. A. Pires Foundation. He gave many hours to the Masonic Fraternity and was active in many areas. He was a 50 year member of Tannehill Masonic Lodge; served Sam P. Cochran as their Worshipful Master; and was a Charter Member of Claud L. Austin Masonic Lodge. He served the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas as District Deputy Grand Master in 1981 and 1982. He was an active member of the Dallas Scottish Rite where he was honored in 1979 as a ThirtyThird Degree Inspector General Honorary. He occupied many offices in the Scottish Rite. Other memberships include the Red Cross of Constantine, Allied Masonic Degrees, The Royal Order of Scotland, and all the York Rite Bodies and served as Business Manager of the Masonic Service Bureau of Dallas. Clyde was a life long active member of the Oak Cliff Presbyterian Church where he served as an Elder for many years. He was married to his wife Francis for over 62 years; he preceded her in death by less than one week. It was her desire to join Clyde as soon as possible, and she received her wish. It has been said many times that Clyde was a man who loved his Church, Wife and Masonry.

Oct05sr.qxp 10/15/2005 10:32 AM Page 4 Scottish Rite News for the Valley of Dallas Honors www.dallasscottishrite.org - [email protected] The Valley of Dallas has been notified they we will receive 22 Thirty-Thirds and Fifty-Eight Knights Commander of the Court of Honor on October 3rd at the biennium meeting at the Supreme Council in Washington, D.C.. This is the largest number of Honors that we have received in a number of years. This is in recognition of the great work that was performed by our Valley in 2003 and 2004 the years that determined the number for this upcoming meeting. Thanks for all the hard work. In the Southern Jurisdiction fewer than two percent have received the Honor of the Thirty-Third Degree. The KCCH is worn by fewer than three percent of the members. We are looking forward to receiving the names for these Honors for the Valley of Dallas.

dawn morning and there was a smell of death in the air; children were dying, women were crying, men were screaming for help – slowly the Marine chopper settled down for a landing amidst chaotic conditions – suddenly the chopper took fire from an unseen, unknown sniper – the pilot had to evacuate, leaving the helpless screaming below. Was this Afghanistan? Was it Iraq? No, it was New Orleans, Louisana, USA, reeling from the terrible devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The national media were pointing fingers of blame while the helpless stood on their roofs pleading for their lives. This is an unfamiliar experience or scene from the pages of Masonic history – yet, this is 2005, not 1805 and this is the United States of America, not foreign soil. Masons are assisting the victims as you read this article. Masons were some of the first to bring relief in the form of aid, food, clothes, and unselfish compassion. Most peo- ple know of the generosity exhibited by churches and lodges, but is this the only time that a tear of compassion should be shed for our Brethren, for our friends and for the strangers? NO. Masonry should be practiced proactively – not reactively! The love of God, our fellowman and Country is our heritage and that light should not be hidden under a bas- ket. Others should know about our craft and our mission before the hurricanes of life hit – before the tragedy – not afterwards. The lawlessness and callous disregard for our fellowman reflects a serious breach in the fabric of our great Country. President Kennedy admonished us to “ask not what our Country could do for us but what we could do for our Country.” President Bush brushed aside the blame game and directed a courageous rescue effort saving the lives of thousands. There is a lesson for us to learn: what would our forefathers have thought about the orchestration given the tragedy by the media? Masons need to read the tea leaves in today’s society and redouble our efforts to reach out to good men and seek to encourage them to become better men. It is later than we think. George Washington’s picture on the cover of “US News and World Report” is another wake up call. I urge you to attend your Stated Meetings and your Reunions in order to strengthen your dedication to the upholding of this great Country and to encourage others to do likewise. Fraternally; M. Douglas Adkins, Personal Representative of the SGIG for the State of Texas ood g s i r e Laught ul!! o s e h for t Patient: “Doctor, can I get a second opinion?” Doctor: “Of course you can. Come back tomorrow.” Patient: “Doctor, I’ve broken my arm in two places.” Doctor: “ Don’t go back to either one of them.” Doctor: “I’m afraid you are anemic.” Patient: “I want a second opinion.” Doctor: “You’re ugly too.” THE SECRETARY'S MINUTE Illustrious and Worthy Brethren, This is to remind you that on October 15, 22, and 29 we will be having our Fall Reunion. This is a most important event in the life of the Valley of Dallas, particularly as we have had such a great August Reunion. Please be sure that you have those petitions for initiation that you have sponsored into the office BY OCTOBER 10 so that they can be voted upon at the Stated Meeting as required by the Statutes of The Supreme Council. Those of you who have not had the opportunity to attend a three-day reunion or who have a candidate, please plan to attend. You will enjoy it, I promise. THANK YOU!!!! Also, Bro. Doc Whit, "The Fiddler", is looking for any of the Brethren who are interested in playing in a Bluegrass/Country group for Masonic events to please contact him at 214-3882756. We look forward to seeing you at the Reunion in October.
