It's already May and there so much already done and to get done. I have always been told "you can't do it alone" and "delegate". Now I understand what being Master entails. Thank you to all the Brothers that have stepped up to get things done because without your support I would never call his year a success. 
This Monthly newsletter has been very well received and I hear all the positive feedback from brothers of all ages.  Over 2/3 of our membership reads it.

We have a lot of activities plan over the next few weeks and I want everyone  to be aware of those activities:

A note from Brother Ed Lawson  in Yokohama Japan

My Brothers,

A fantastic, informative Master's Message!     It keeps me connected from the 7200 miles which separate us.  I was also cheered to find that I had a number of parallel interests with Brothers there.

I have had some Masonic contact here, but some family priorities made us schedule our flight dates so that, unfortunately, I could not attend either April or May meetings of FE1

 Another situation is that "Golden  Week" , a general holiday falls each early May, so FE1 changes their meeting date, to avoid conflicts with peoples vacations.

The WM of Far East One called a special get-together for two days before we return to CT.  I want to explain to them just what an impact FE1 has had on my life.  I am, I am told that I'm the oldest member of the Lodge(81 in June) and in Masonic life, as well.  In two weeks, it will be 59 years since I was Raised.  I have been blessed.

I regret that I cannot attend the ceremony for WB Dick Kirshner.  It would be an extreme honor to participate.  WB Dick was the first to appoint me, so many years ago, as Historian, and later, Chaplain.  I am eternally grateful to him, and to his family, for sharing him with us.  I will visit his final resting place when we return to CT.

Fraternally and gratefully,

Ed Lawson
