Greetings Brethren,
In news of the Orient; at the most recent August 2019 Supreme Council Biennial Session in Washington D.C. our Orient of Oregon Sovereign Grand Inspector General, Illustrious Brother Gary Kuney, 33°, received a distinctive honor and I would like to take a moment to share it with you.
During the course of the Session Ill. Bro. Gary was honored by the Sovereign Grand Commander of Costa Rica, Illustrious Brother Juan José Soto Cervantes, with the distinction of being acknowledged as an honorary member of the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree for the Republic of Costa Rica. Ill. Bro. Juan presented Ill. Bro. Gary with the above pictured medallion in recognition of this commendation. The Supreme Council of Costa Rica was originally chartered in 1871 and has been in accord for many years with our Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States.
Please join me in congratulating Illustrious Brother Gary for receiving this distinction from our Brethren in Costa Rica for his service to the Craft!
What a nice honor. Congratulations Illustrious Brother Kuney.
