This evening Elvin E. Helms No. 926 was pleased to have in attendance some visitors from Cox No. 464 and Mizpah No. 507 along with the Grand Master’s Traveling Gavel. As intended, we did not keep the Grand Master’s Gavel for very long. Brother Craig Lindon had claimed the gavel at James W. Alley No. 869 on May 11th and then presented the gavel to Elvin E. Helms No. 926 on May 12th on behalf of Pieratt No. 725. Brother Gary Rose claimed the gavel for Cox No. 464.  Pictured above, left to right: Buddy Wallace, Gary Rose, Ernie Stratton, Travis Bush, Jason Wallace, Ed Tanner, and Craig Lindon, Past Masters all.
