I know nothing of this incident until today, but I will say WB Tom is someone we all wish to emulate in life and fraternally. This is deeply saddening and I stand behind him without knowing the specifics. He is that good of a man and brother. Lastly, our fraternity is based on brotherly love and I can't help but think there was a much better way of handling whatever event occurred than removing our Most Worshipful Grand Master.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605824511263341156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-56180889040397226122012-08-13T23:18:08.185-04:002012-08-13T23:18:08.185-04:00I am fortunate in knowing a big percentage of the ...I am fortunate in knowing a big percentage of the Brothers involved in this. I have not talked with them, and therefore I have no basis to form an opinion of who is right and wrong or if anyone is. In the absence of information rumour takes over.

Among the major errors, the tribunal was composed of 5 not 4 PGMs. Of the "opionions expressed, I agree, it was a sad day for masonry.<br /><br />The facts are what they are, and certainly not close to the web postings I've been reading. The entire trial was recorded by a court recorder and transcripts will be available to those who want the truth, not the spin.<br /><br />Blake GardinerDiogenes Canis https://www.blogger.com/profile/00316874792452707667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-25216732836756539152012-08-10T23:48:36.028-04:002012-08-10T23:48:36.028-04:00I had the Honor and Privilege to serve as co-counc...I had the Honor and Privilege to serve as co-council to GM Duffy today in his Trial. When you are up against a retired Superior Court Judge from California. Who can convince everyone to leave out 5 main words of the code; even though they are written in the code, you can't win.<br /><br />I thank GM Duffy for this privilege and honor and respect the man greatly. He is and will always be a mentor to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519875667865524035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-48880224846453647172012-08-10T22:19:12.576-04:002012-08-10T22:19:12.576-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519875667865524035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-24066098526808584682012-08-10T20:21:11.985-04:002012-08-10T20:21:11.985-04:00This is is a very dark day for Montana Free Masons...This is is a very dark day for Montana Free Masons.

Only in the profane World are we to expect to find men who live to find fault with one another and relish in the fall of great men from grace. Where is the brotherly love in all of this? It is out of balance, a reflection of the fact that many do not understand the work of a Mason.Heal Freelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929008552223754109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-77262804767144308762012-08-10T17:29:57.109-04:002012-08-10T17:29:57.109-04:00The fact is they completely ignored the code on wh...The fact is they completely ignored the code on what the Grand Masters power are and removed a man that was protecting the interests. That is all I will say, but I am leaving Montana Masonry over this. Anyone in the jurisdiction of Florida willing to take on a brother?
