UPDATE APRIL 24, 2018: Patrick Craddock has been unavoidably forced to cancel his appearance at tonight's meeting. The lodge will reschedule with him, hopefully later in the year.
I will be filling in for him and will speak about Indiana's Bicentennial year, Dwight L. Smith and the Sesquicentennial in 1967-68, and my new book, Heritage Endures. Please join us.
Come join Lodge Vitruvian in Indianapolis for fellowship and scholarly discussion on the evening of Tuesday, April 24th. Our Keynote Speaker for the evening will be noted expert on Masonic aprons and regalia, author and historian, WBro. Patrick Craddock of Conlegium Ritus Austeri No. 779, Nashville, Tennessee. As of January, he is the new President of the Masonic Society.

He is a contributing author to Encyclopedia of Tennessee History, as well as a past-curator of exhibits at the Carter House Museum in Franklin, Tennessee.
Initiated, passed and raised in O.D. Smith Lodge, No. 33, Oxford, Mississippi, he is a life member Hiram Lodge No. 7, Franklin, Tennessee and an officer and charter member of Conlegium Ritus Austeri No. 779 in Nashville.
