I got busyour because of the holidays and such.I wanted to share with you guys my son's election and instalation of Master Councilor of J.Mclaim Moulder order of Demolay in Kokomo,IN. For those of you who don't know what Demolay is.It is a youth group sponsored by the Masonic Lodge for boys from 12 to 21 yrs old.They promote making upstanding young men in the comunity.Once you join you are always a member.I am a Senior Demolay myself. My son (Matthew) has went through the chairs and made it to the east for his 6 month term.I am amazed at the changes in him as he has progressed to be the leader of his chapter.I look forward to see what he accomplishes with his brothers before returning to the ranks.the first pick is his Corp of Officers and Him in the purple Robe. second is him giving his obligation and me being a proud pop/installing marshal in the background.
Then here is a pic of me handing his gavel to him to lead his meetings and then a group shot of our chapter. That's my daughter Alexis who is our chapter sweetheart too!
I am!Although I'm pretty reserved about it and don't show it alot.I love to see how in his first couple weeks in office he has really took on the responsibility.
Congratulations jackel to both you and your son. That had to be a very proud moment. No on showing the emotions, I do think it is absolutely the best when you are with your children so long as it is positive. What can it mean? I grew up in a very unhappy environment and the only emotion I ever remember my father giving was, well, let's say it was not positive. I can remember crying more than once even when at someone else's place and seeing their fathers having a great time with their sons. Oh how I craved it but never got it. Needless to say, I raised my sons a bit different, thank God! btw, your daughter is very pretty. Proud papa!
Thanks! I guess I may have miss spoke.I sure let my kids know how well they do and am proud of them.I was choked up and couldnt hardly talk when it was my turn to talk on the floor.I even hard tears in my eyes.LOL I'm glad you were able to get through your tough time and made the changes in your kids life! I do have to say she is pretty and will make a guy very happy in the future. She does 3d archery,rides and shows horses,and does photography.Loves anything Mopar and our antique Engines and tractors.Oh and she is my master wood stacker
Now that is a class act all the way. No wonder you are proud and I do hope when the time comes she gets a good one and can make him happy.
