Vick, Thank you for replying to my message on the "introduction" board. In an earlier post I stated I was looking at Albert Pike Lodge, but I'm not "married" to that idea -- it was just a nice thought. I checked out Perfect Union #10 online and you gentlemen seem to be pretty active; that's what I'm really looking for: an active lodge. I think I'll drop someone at Perfect Union #10 a note through e-mail and ask for more information. Thank you!
