ANNUAL REPORT OF THE RIGHT EMINENT

GRAND COMMANDER

RAYMOND SWANSON

GRAND COMMANDER'S ADDRESSSeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O.

State of the Order

TO: The Officers and Members of the Grand Commandery of

Knights Templar of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Welcome Sir Knights to the One Hundred and Seventieth Annual

Conclave of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of

Kentucky. We offer our heartfelt welcome and thanks to our

distinguished guests from within our Commonwealth and to those

traveling here from other States; your attendance is greatly

appreciated. Enjoy our session.

State of the Order

Myself or one of the Grand Officers, visited each Commandery

throughout the Commonwealth. We were impressed with their

professionalism, dedication to the ritual work and the Order.

Everywhere we visited, we were received with respect and a

willingness of each Commandery to perform to their best; however

there is still a tendency for some Sir Knights to use the ritual book.


[16]

It may be a sign of the times, but it seems more difficult to find

worthy candidates to join. The year began with 2,736 Knights

Templar. Through, Knighting (81), affiliations (25), rein-statements

(30); one hundred thirty-six were added to our number - for a total of

2,872. Unfortunately, this was countered by a loss of three hundred

sixteen: (71) demitted, (157) suspended, an adjustment of (5), and

(83) deceased.

As mentioned in the Inspector General's report. The Division

Commanders' did the training of their respective Commandery's. I am

not sure how that worked out. It reduces the time Sir Knight is away

on weekends and he still gets some benefit through practice.

There are two areas that need improvement:

1. Support for the Easter Pilgrimage; and

2. Support for the Holy Land Pilgrimage

In past years, the Grand Commandery only supported limited

attendance. The cost of the bus transportation which was previously

donated is no longer an option. The cost of the round trip to either

Washington, D.C. or Kansas City, MO became prohibitive. We want

as many as possible to benefit. No one likes to increase cost to

members additional but, it takes money to make some things happen.

If the Grand Commandery continues to ignore these special events,

members will miss out on valuable educational experiences. In an

effort for us fund the Easter Sunrise trip, and to make at least some

provisions for sending a minister to the Holy Land, please consider

the following proposals by a Sir Knight:

"To submit a Resolution asking for our Grand Commandery to

support the Easter Sunrise Service each year. And then, (if that

proposal passes) a proposal to add to our Constitution an amendment

to establish an assessment of $2.00 per each member on the rolls as

of June 30th of each year. This to be distributed with $1.50 going

towards the Easter Sunrise Service, and .50 going to the Holy Land

Pilgrimage fund.


[17]

The $1.50 per member should generate approximately $3,700.00

towards the trip. We could then charge $250.00 per person attending

at two, (2) to a room. With twenty, (20) going, this would generate

five thousand, ($5,000.00). The $3,700.00 plus the $5,000.00 would

equal $8,700.00.

We would need eleven, (11) rooms, counting the bus driver. That

should come to about $2,750.00 for the rooms, leaving $5,950.00 for

the bus. Right now the bus costs us about $5,500.00.

Of course, if we get more going, we would have more money to save

up for those years when the group might be less than the twenty. If

we can get this passed, we will have solved our funding problem for

this trip for several years. It also should make it possible for others to

attend. We would need to limit the number going on the bus to forty,

(40). But wouldn't that be a nice problem to have.

The fifty cent, (.50) would generate approximately $1,250.00 for the

Holy Land Pilgrimage. Only about one-fourth of what we would

need, but at least its' a start."

The Knights Templar need to expand their visibility both within the

Order and to the public. Earlier this year, Sir Knight Bill Riggs,

Eminent Captain General printed a run-down delineating how we

might accomplish this.

I owe each of you my heartfelt thanks and a debt of gratitude for your

dedication to the Order and support of the Grand Cornmandery of

Kentucky. You have filled In, where needed, at a moments notice.

Division Commanders instructed the Sir Knights to perform well. I

have seen marked improvement in ritual work; from Entered

Apprentice through the Order of the Temple and the ancillary

degrees. The leadership of the Divisional Commanders remains a key

ingredient of success.

And as you are aware, the Knights Templar local Commanderies

moved away from arranging the actual eye surgery. The Eye

Foundation, through the Grand Encampment is giving Grants to

worthy institutions. The Grand Commandery of the Commonwealth

of Kentucky through the Grand Encampment gave two grants this


[18]

year. One was to the University of Louisville and the other to the

University of Kentucky.

Sir Knights: Thank you for the privilege to serve you. It has been a

great honor to know you, to work with you and to be guided by you.

DEPUTY GRAND COMMANDER’S REPORTSeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O.

I am thankful for the opportunity of serving you this year. It has

given me the opportunity to visit several Commandery’s, Chapters

and Councils. I was also able to participant in several festivals. Our

Grand Commander gave me the privilege to represent him at several

events including the Annual Court of the Amaranth and annual

session of the DeMolays. I was also given the opportunity to present

two grants for the Knights Templar Eye Foundation(1) to Doctor

Jakub Famulski of the University of Kentucky and (2) to Doctor

Aparma Ramasubramanian of the University of Louisville, along

with making two scholarships presentation for our Educational

Foundation . The students were Nicholas Carrara and Kristyn Van

Der Meulen both of the University of Kentucky and they work in the

lab with Dr. Jakub Famulski.

.


[21]

I attended The East Central Regional Conference. I had the privilege

to visit the annual conclave of The Grand Commandery of Michigan

and West Virginia.

I was able to attend several Christmas and Easter Observances

including The Easter Pilgrimage to Washington D. C . . . The

highlight of my year was when Franklin Commandery # 44 gave me

the opportunity to speak at their Christmas Observance. I am looking

forward to visiting your Commandery this year.

Larry Carte

GRAND GENERALISSIMO’S REPORTSeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O.

To the Officers and Members of the Grand Commandery of Knights

Templar of Kentucky:

Sir Knights, thank you for electing me to serve as your Grand

Generalissimo during the past year. It is indeed an honor to serve in

the elected line of an organization with the history and lineage of the

Grand Commandery of Kentucky.

In my visits this year, I have been privileged to associate with the

finest group of men in the world, the Masons of the York Rite, and

especially those Christian men who have united in the asylums of the

Commandery under the banner of the Blessed Emanuel. Everywhere

I have traveled, I have been treated with the utmost courtesy and

respect; I have been welcomed into your asylums and accorded both

the courtesies of my office, and the welcome of a brother. The

friendships made and renewed I will cherish long after this journey

through the Grand Commandery line is over. I have been reminded,

time and again, of the character of the men who make up our

organization; the work you do in your local communities, your

dedication to supporting our philanthropies, your adherence to the

charge to “feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to bind up the

wounds of the afflicted.” I am proud to be one of you.


[22]

A number of Commanderies have honored me this year by allowing

me to participate in your ritual work; in conferring the Order of the

Red Cross and the Order of the Temple, the most beautiful and

moving ritual in masonry. I thank you for that. In every asylum, I

found good men, working hard to improve themselves in Masonry,

working hard to improve their ritual and tactics. Having witnessed

the work being done in Kentucky and that of a number of the

surrounding states, I can assure you that the Knights of Kentucky do

not take a back seat to anyone when they put their minds to it. Keep

up the good work!

Sir Knights, moving forward, let us maintain that dedication to our

mission. The Grand Commandery and the Grand Encampment can

establish all the programs in the world, but it is you who make the

difference. It is your work which makes this organization what it is.

We wield our swords in the defense of the innocent, the helpless, and

our faith. Let us remain His faithful soldiers unto death.

Randall Partin

Grand Generalissimo

GRAND RECORDER’S REPORTSeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O.

TO: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers and the

Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky.

It is the beginning of a new Templar year. It is time to

evaluate the success and failures of this past year. We need to meet

the challenge of improving our ritualistic work, community image

and change the trend of our decreasing membership to increasing

membership by fewer suspensions and more Knighting. The Grand

Recorder's office is eager to assist the grand officers and constituent

Commanderies in their efforts.

The success of the operation of the office is made possible

by the knowledge and dedication of our secretary Noel Stewart and

Assistant Grand Recorder George Arnold.


[23]

I wish to thank the Right Eminent Grand Commander and

the Sir Knights of Kentucky for the privilege of serving as Grand

Recorder.

REPORT OF GRAND INSPECTOR GENERALSeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O.

To: Right Eminent Grand Commander; Officers and Sir Knights ofthe Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Kentucky:

This past year, we decided in leau of having Templar Academies,I suggested that each Division Commander to hold his own school ofinstruction at his convenience. This seemed to work out very well,since most Commanderies hold practices before meetings. All butfive Commanderies turned in inspection reports. I will not name theseCommanderies, but will discuss this matter with the incoming GrandCommander. Unfortunely, I was forced to score these "0".

Of the twenty seven Commanderies reporting, twenty four had fullform openings. There were one conferral of the Order of Red Cross,three Order of Maltas, and seven Order of the Temple.

The scores ranged from 45 to 278, with the average inspectionbeing 146, down a few points from previous years. there were 7Commanderies scoring over 200. These were:

Ryan No. 17

Louisville DeMolay No. 12

Paintsville No. 48

Morehead No. 53

Jackson No. 47

Frankfort No. 4

Pikeville No. 45

Again, thanks and congratulations to all of the DivisionCommanders for doing an outstanding job, not only with their ownCommanderies, but also supporting all 32 Commanderies throughoutthe State.

Thanks to Right Eminent Grand Commander Raymond Swansonand his Officers for allowing me to do my job and lending theirsupport when needed. It was my upmost pleasure to serve The GrandCommandery of Kentucky.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE HOLY

LAND PILGRIMAGESeptember 19, 2016, A. O. 898

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir Knights

of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky:

Your Committee on the Holy Land Pilgrimage reports that as of this

date, no applications have been received for the pilgrimage in 2016.

The deadline is October 15, 2016. All necessary application forms

should be obtained from the Kentucky Holy Land Pilgrimage

Chairman.

Ordinarily, the Grand Commandery pays the full cost of the Pilgrim

Minister’s trip (domestic and international airfare, housing, meals,

etc., other than personal incidentals)—currently about $3800.00 to

$4000. Based on the most recent information available, it would

appear that there are sufficient monies to send a Pilgrim Minister to

Israel in a future year. We appreciate recent efforts to replenish our

Holy Land Pilgrimage Fund, particularly the donations that have been

received from Paducah Commandery No. 11, Louisville DeMolay

Commandery No. 12, and Morehead Commandery No. 53. The

current balance in the fund, as reported to this committee by the

Grand Recorder’s office, is $5346.82.

We encourage all of the Commanderies in Kentucky to donate

whatever they can to build up the fund in order that others may have

the same opportunity to travel to the Holy Land in the future. Some

have taken regular collections for this purpose or have held special

fund-raising projects directed to this goal. Donations should be sent

to the Grand Recorder and clearly marked “Holy Land Pilgrimage

Fund.”

We thank the Right Eminent Grand Commander for giving us the

opportunity to serve.

Courteously submitted,

J. D. Reeder, K.T.C.H., P.C. (53), Chairman

Carl A. Jones, P. C., (50)

REPORT OF THE LONG RANGE PLANNING

COMMITTEESeptember 19, 2016 A.D. 898 A.O

To: Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Commandery Officers, Past

Grand Commanders, Distinguished Guest and Sir Knights

After meeting with the In-coming Officers it has been decided that:

1. We have not been giving the Holy-land Pilgrimage the

attention we should be as Knights Templar. Therefore we will be

implementing a fund-raiser that hopefully will be held on an annual

basis to send at least one minister a year to the Holy land. Plans are

being made with the assistance of another Masonic Association to

raise these funds.

2. As many of you know we lost out sponsor for the Easter

Sunrise Bus Trip several years ago. This is open to all Knights and

their families and is encouraged by Grand Encampment that all states

attend one of the three held nationwide every Easter. We need to find

alternate means to finance this trip and make it affordable to all.

Both of these activities along with the Templar Eye foundation are

basic tenets of knighthood and should be given our full support.

George F. Brooks, PGC

REPORT OF THE NECROLOGY COMMITTEE

September 19, 2016 A.D., 2546 A.I.

To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Commandery

Officers, R.E. Past Grand Commanders, and Sir Knights.

Let us pause during this busy time of conducting the

business of this Grand Commandery, to honor the memory of those

faithful and dedicated Sir Knights who have passed away during this

last year. While wishing to honor their memory and to give a fitting

tribute to their services to this body over the years, we realize our

words, however respectful and well meaning, cannot truly convey our

concern and sense of loss. We will miss their smiles of greeting, their

firm handshakes and their love of this great fraternity. We also

acknowledge with sorrow and respect the loss to other Grand

Jurisdictions of faithful members and officers during this past year.


[51]

We must also remember the families and loved ones of

those we mourn today. We extend to them our heartfelt sympathy

and concern during this time of grief and profound sense of loss.

Thus during this time of remembrance, let us resolve in the

strength of our Christian faith, to keep the memory of these Sir

Knights fresh in our minds, and resolve to emulate their dedication to

the principles of the Knights Templars in our daily lives.

May we find solace in these words of the poet,

"Today the journey is ended,

I have worked out the mandates of fate. Naked, alone,

undefended

I knock at the uttermost gate.

Lo, the gate swings wide at my knocking, Across endless

reaches I see

Lost friends with laughter come flocking To give a glad

welcome to me.

Fare well! The maze has been threaded, This is the ending

of strife.

Say not that death should be dreaded; 'Tis but the beginning

of life."
