On Friday, August 26 the Brothers of Good Faith No. 95 met for the purpose of conferring the Fellow Craft Degree upon Brother Brian Carroll under the direction of Acting Master David Bird. The Letter G Lecture was given by Worshipful Brother Dan Kemble, District Deputy Grand Master, District 18, Grand Lodge of Kentucky. Worshipful Brother George Scott gave the Stair Lecture. Worshipful Brother Adam Gross gave the Fellow Craft Charge. The Bluegrass Ritualist points earned by Brother Gross gave him the required number of points to attain the Senior Ritualist award.
