January 2006

I apologise for the poor quality of some of the photos used in this page and I will replace them with a better quality photos when circumstance permits.

If you're like me you've clicked on this page and looked at the pictures first (why read all the boring stuff when pictures tell the story in half the time ?). Now that you've seen the pictures you're back here wondering what its all about, well read on, the story goes like this...

Wooden Mark Token

Whilst executing his duties in the oil related business in a far off land Bro. Davie Hutcheon met up with met up with Bro. Danny Guillott (Sherrard Byrd Lodge #353 / Poplarville / Mississippi) also working in the oil related business in a far off land.

During the course of their discussion about similarities and differences in Constitutions, etc. it transpired that Bro. Danny had never seen a Mark Token..! The ever resourceful Bro. Davie dipped into his pocket and presented Bro. Danny with a #518 Mark Token as a gift.

Time moved on as it always does, and at some point Bro. Danny presented Bro. Davie with the beautiful hand carved token pictured here.

The token was in turn presented to the Lodge by P.M. Bro. David Hutcheon... (BELOW RIGHT)
