If the former, then it may bring a new era to WV Freemasonry; if the latter, then WV Freemasonry, not Frank Haas, will stand convicted.Michael Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355439947660092660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-74794054307112931332010-11-26T13:41:30.571-05:002010-11-26T13:41:30.571-05:00Consider this.
