reetings From The Potentate...
This is the best fraternity to which any man can belong.
Many years ago I came to the realization that I would never grow beyond a certain point in life unless I
had a friend, another man, with whom I could comfortably shed a tear over a belief or an event or a
situation that touched me deeply—and I have been touched.
Last month I met a young man in Foley, Alabama, who has a deep conviction that he should become a Mason. I met him and
became his Virtual Mentor through beashrinernow.com—that’s a special program created by Shriners International to use
the internet to help men “be a Shriner now.” In some cases, you must first help them become a Mason. I arranged for him to
meet the Master of the Lodge nearest him. Will his life ever be the same again? I had a similar conviction and mine hasn’t been.
A new world will unfold before him.
I hope you were there when two of our Shriners Hospitals children shared our dinner at our last Stated Session. I was
moved.
To be a part of our Easter Egg Hunt on April 7th was very special—watching children enjoying being children under the
magnificent oaks of Hadji and to see them play on the grass that was mowed and trimmed by Nobles of Hadji. To realize that
parents and guardians of our Shriners Hospitals children meet each other at events like this and that, by that meeting, each
becomes a part of their own special support group—I hadn’t thought of that. To see Oriental Guide Ron Blake and his Lady
Becky take the lead in providing such a great day for so many people—young and old alike—and touching so many lives. The
music, the fishing ponds, the popcorn, the hotdogs and hamburgers, the drinks, the eggs, the prizes, the Easter Bunny
(someone told me that Lady Kathy Mashburn has the power and would get the Easter Bunny to come to Hadji—believe it, it
happened), to hear laughter and see smiling faces.
I think about the Shriners and their families that built Hadji—they (maybe you) labored and I now enjoy the fruits of their labors.
I think about so many of you that I have yet to meet, hoping that you will be active in your units and we will meet—hoping that
you will come to an Information Meeting, Stated Session, a dance, a special event, a ceremonial, a crawfish boil, our Christmas Party. I am more than I was because of those who come and less than I can be because some don’t.
Fun, fellowship, philanthropy, family and you—we have the best of the best.

UNITS and CLUBS
for both the younger and older children
to find.
DIRECTOR’S STAFF
By Deano Givens
Assistant Director Larry Kendrick is
finalizing plans for another gigantic
garage sale to benefit the Staff. If you
are interested in helping Larry, please
let him know. Now is the time to gather
all of your “stuff” that you would like to
donate to the sale.
Norma was thinking about donating me,
but I talked her out of it. Besides, I
don’t think Larry has any two cent
stickers to place on my shiny little
forehead; and too, he would have to put
a “caveat emptor” sign on me.
Directors Staff members were present
for the annual Hadji Shrine Easter Egg
Hunt for our Hospital children and for
the children and grandchildren of Hadji
Nobility. There was plenty of food and
pop corn for the young and young at
heart. I think it must have been one of
the largest turn outs in recent years.
There was a lively Easter Bunny (aka
Kathy Mashburn), who made a special
appearance and posed for photos with
the children. Thanks is extended to
the Divan Ladies who helped direct
traffic so that we could take pictures of
the children with Mrs. Bunny.
It was especially great to see the
turnout of Hadji Clowns. Several of their
newer members were Shriners that I
have known a long time but I did not
recognize them in their bright
costumes. In fact, all of their costumes
and make-up were awesome.
At least to me, it’s not a proper
gathering of Shriners and children
without our clowns! Thanks Nobles.
I wish I could say more about the Hadji
Golf Tournament, which will be held this
month and which has been sponsored
by the Directors Staff for the past 22
years. However, as this is written,
things are not going well. Among other
things, promised support has not been
forthcoming. There will be a final report
next month.
May birthdays include: Harold
Grosskopf (5/1), Lynne Hood (5/8),
Carlos Baxley (5/14), Bobby Minchew
(5/14), Joylin Nelson (5/21), Ron
McNesby (5/22), Tyler Mills (5/27), and
Larry Howell (5/28). Happy Birthday
to these major leaguers.
There was also a grand Easter egg hunt
on the lawn with plenty of colorful eggs

I have changed the heading of my articles to one from a Shriners
International bumper sticker. I saw this
bumper sticker and immediately felt it
said it all about what we do. Have one
on my jeep now and yours is available
at the recorders office.
The month of May has two events that
need all our support and participation.
First and foremost is the Directors Staff
Golf Tournament, our oldest and most
profitable event. All nobles should have
received a letter about the event in April,
but still time to sign a team up or sponsor a hole on the course. Contact any
Directors Staff noble for application information for the 12 May event.
The Dixie Shrine Association Convention is again at Panama City Beach
17-19 May. Past Potentate Mike
Mccombs is on the line and we need
to support him by good attendance
from HADJ nobles. If you can not make
the meetings, try and participate in the
parade on Saturday 19 May. Line up is
at 10AM with step off at 11 AM. The
Saber Jets, Misfits, Hayseeds, Clowns,
Kountry Kuz, Antique Car units, and
temple float trailer team, are planning
on parading Also understand the Untouchables unit will be cooking for
Exchange SOUP LABELS for SCHOOL BOOKS
to be used in Shrine Hospitals

Deposit them in the Soup Label container at the Mosque or you can mail them to the Mosque.
Once the good folks at Campbell’s receive the labels, they will send educational books to the Hospitals.

convention. Line up is at Edgewater
Shopping Center, and parade route is

in parade, contact the Temple Recorder
or Parade Marshall Noble Amon Burt
for permits and registration.
Please do not forget the Special Event
50-Gun-Give-A-Way; 25 August is coming up fast and we need your help selling
tickets. Remember, nobles when you
sell the five white tickets the green
ticket is yours (free) for the special ten
gun drawing, and units and clubs get a
rebate of $20 for every book sold. On
day of drawing will have door prizes one
of which is a full deer head mount, plus
other nice items.Tickets available at

Hadji
Misfits
By Morgan Hamm
Greetings Nobles,
It’s always good to start a SEZ article
with good news. Our good news is that
we are happy to report Misfit Amon Burt
is out of the hospital and recovering
from his surgery. Misfit David Vaughn
has surgery scheduled and is expected
to be home and recovered by the time
this article goes to press. We continue
to keep these two Nobles along with
Misfit David Keddy in our prayers.
We must thank Misfit’s Hospitality
Chairman Bob Burt for arranging the
March Misfits Unit dinner at David’s
Catfish House. What a great turnout,
good meal, and an evening of
socializing afterward.

all those Nobles and ladies who
organized and worked the Hadji
Shriner’s Easter Egg Hunt. Great job,
and wonderful turnout of children,
parents, and observing Nobles and
Ladies. I would be remiss if I do not
recognize the hard work that the Provost
Guard members put into preparing,
cooking, and serving hot dogs and
hamburgers to the hundreds of children
and adults present. The Director’s Staff
members provided popcorn for
everyone. This event brought out the
best showing of Hadji Clowns (7) in a
very long time. The kids loved them.
The Month of April will see the Misfits
members working the Paper Crusade
at Sam’s. We are proud to have won
the 2011 plaque award for the most
donations received and hope to do it
again. We are looking forward to the
Hadji Ceremonial and hope to see a
big Noble turnout.
The Misfits & Riders Country Western
Dance is scheduled for Saturday, May
12. The C & L Band provides good
music for this event which we host
every three months. We want to invite
all Nobles, their families and friends to
an evening of good music and
socializing at the Hadji Center.
The Misfits Unit members welcome all
interested Nobles. You can check us
out by attending one of our
meetings. We meet the third
Wednesday of each month, at
7:00PM, in our second floor Unit room
of the Hadji Shrine Center. If a Hadji
Noble would like to ride along and
experience a parade, just contact a
Misfits member. We are a parade unit,
but a parade vehicle is not a
requirement for membership.
Keep the Faith,

Provost Guard
By Michael Goldsby
Since the last Sez article, the Provost
Guard has been busy. We had
hospitality for a round table
meeting. During that same period of
time, it was our turn to serve dinner for
the stated session. We had three slabs
of meat that we could not cut into
steaks for our last fund raisers. Three
of our women slow cooked them. We
served them to the temple as cooked
roast & mashed potatoes alone with
corn. It turned out great. We made an
almost bad situation into a good
situation. I believe that everyone
enjoyed the dinner.
Our last event was the Easter Egg Hunt
for all our children. We was charged
with the cooking of the hamburgers and
hot dogs. I understand that this event
went extremely well. Colonel Chancy,
his lady Bobbie, Noble Edenfield, his
lady Lucy, Doug Hurst & his Lady friend,
Noble Pittman, Lady Rose, Noble Davis,
Noble Pippins, Lady Kate, and Lady
Vicky were present for this event. We
thank them for their support.
Lady Mary Wright is home from the
hospital and rehab. We are glad for her
recovery. Noble Bill Wright and Lady
Mary Wright has been a part of the
Provost Guard for years.
We are still looking for new members
in the Shrine and Provost Guard. Our
doors are always open to any Master
Mason in good standing. We need
some new blood and new ideas.
Don’t forget our “Steak Nite” at
Hadji. Where can you go for a great &
superb dinner for a cheap price. The
“Steak Nite” is on the third Friday of
every month.

Assisstant Rabban
Darrell Mashburn
If you did not attend the children’s
Easter Egg Hunt last month, you
missed out, perfect weather and lots
of happy kids. Great job Oriental Guide
Ron Blake and crew. The Bunny was,
as always a big hit, taking pictures with
all the kids and a few of us adults.
Thanks, lady Kathy.
The Hadji clown unit is alive and well
and out in force, there were seven
clowns entertaining the kids and having
just as much fun as any kid.
The Directors Staff Golf tournament is
the 12th of this month, this tournament
is a great chance for us “duffers” to
pretend we know what we are doing,
have a lot of fun and support the Temple
and the directors staff at the same time.
Buy a sign, get up a team, and lets
have some fun.
Congratulations Artie, thanks for
stepping up and filling in, as second
ceremonial master for the rest of this
year. Bert Pinager had to step down,
and will be missed by those of us on
the divan that have worked with him the
past several years.
We all need to get behind this years
special events and recruit sellers of the
tickets for the fifty gun give away. To
sell as many tickets as we need to we
must go outside the temple to anyone
we can, My friend at Alcazar told me
he had every body in Montgomery
selling tickets, they do a hundred grand
each year, for tickets and information
contact Chief Rabban Tony Stepleton
or the temple office. Every five tickets
sold gets the seller a green ticket free
for a special ten gun drawing. If a winner
does not care for the gun they win, it
sure would make a great Christmas or
birthday gift, “hint-hint”
Last thing, if you are willing to make a
phone call to a fellow noble that has
not paid his 2012 dues to let them know
we are thanking of him and encourage
him not to procrastinate, please
contact me and I will give you a couple

together, and our biggest cause of
decline in membership is non-payment
of dues.

Happy Duffers
By Bill Little
Greetings to the Potentate, Divan and
Nobles from the Golf unit or Happy
Duffers as we are sometimes called.
Well, we are finally going to get some
golf action in. The Directors Staff
tournament is May 12th at Marcus
Pointe and we are fielding a team. We
won’t win probably but I guarantee you
we will have the most fun. This is
always a great tournament and a lot of
fun for all. After the tournament we are
planning to go to the Riders and Misfits
dance and let whoever shot the worst
buy the drinks.
We are also going to field a team the
week before that on May 5th for
the Sons of Italy Golf tournament, also
at Marcus Pointe and always a fun time
with lots of good food from Carrabba’s.
Our own Pete Resedean is chairman
of that event. (I didn’t know he was
Italian). We are really looking forward
to these two tournaments.
Nobles, if any of you play golf and
would like to join a fun-loving unit, join
us in our beautiful meeting room on the
4th Wed. of each month. We always
have some good food and a short
business meeting, after which we have
putting contests and other
entertainment.
NOBLES THE CLOWNS ATRE BACK
IN ACTION!!!
March 31st we were at the opening of
the Cantonment Little League Opening
Day and had fun with the players, little
kids and parents.
After we left there we were invited to
the Beulah Elementary School for their
Carnival. Had a great time with the
children and the parents/teachers that
attended the event.
The Masonic Child ID Program was
there busy making CDs for the parents
to have in case (heaven forbid) that a
child gets lost. Because of the
Program, the parents would be able to
give the police a picture to shoe to the
public. Great Program.
Clowns that attended these two
functions were B.J. (Breezer) Odom,
Darrell (Biscuit) Mashburn, Bob (Okie)
Burt, John (Beans) Straub, and Robert
(Bones) Gean, PP.
The Easter Egg hunt April 7th was a
great time for all. Tony (Pecos Pink)
Stepleton was able to join us. Kids
everywhere and clowns running around
“stickering” every body that would stay
still for a minute. The event really went
over well. Okie and Beans thrilled the
kids with their balloon making skills.
We welcomed our newest and
youngest clown to the Easter Egg Hunt
– Joe (Gonzo) White.
Hit ‘em straight.
See page 15
for information
on our
Golf Tournament!
The Clown Unit is planning on going to
the DIXIE and SESA. Come join us
and be the clown that you wish you
sere when you were young. We meet
the third Monday, each month, 7:00
p.m. in the Clowns Room, Upstairs..
“Be a Clown, Be a clown, all the world
loves a Clown.”

“Celebrating Hadji”
Dispatch from the
Oriental Guide
By Ron Blake
Thanks to each and every Nobel and
Lady that helped with the 2012 Easter
Egg Hunt held this Saturday, April 7.
For those of you who were not able to
attend this event, we had a wonderful
time. We did not have any issues that
could not be resolved with a quick trip
to Office Depot for additional photo
paper. It was a gorgeous day for an
outdoor event. The grounds were
skillfully trimmed by James Johnson and
his crew of volunteers. The Daughters
of the Nile started hiding eggs around
8:00 a.m. and guests began swarming
the grounds shortly before 10:00 a.m.
Two weeks of stuffing 1,620 plastic eggs
resulted in the discovery of all eggs
within about 30 seconds. This year we
made a slight change to the egg hunt
as we did not have a golden egg but
instead placed a gold coin in a regular
colored egg for each age group. The
lucky child who found the egg with the
gold coin could then exchange the gold
coin for an Easter basket. This change
proved to be well received and the
distribution of baskets was a smooth
process. All of the Hospital Children
received a basket along with the child
who found the gold coin from each age
group (21 baskets total).
The hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips
provided by the Provost Guard were
delicious and just the right amount (400
servings). Soft drinks were provided by
the Past Masters and popcorn was
prepared and served by Directors Staff
members. The Widows Club once again
provided the fishing pool game for the
younger children and the go fish game
was manned by members of YOSHI.
Divan ladies supervised the egg hunt.
The music this year was provided by
Noble Bob Sapp and his Lady Jessie.
The Clowns were a big hit with the
children with their balloons and stickers.
The Easter Bunny (AKA Lady Kathy
Mashburn) arrived with Potentate Dan
Bodiford at 10:35 a.m. to the delight of
everyone. Deano and Lady Norma
patiently took photos of anyone who
wished to pose with the Easter Bunny.
At 12:15 p.m. the clean up crew from
YOSHI kicked in and by 1:00 p.m. the
2012 Easter Party was history.
Thanks to my co-chair Noble Chris Saul
and his Lady Kim, the Grounds Crew,
the Widows Club, the D.O.N., the
Directors Staff, the Provost Guard, the
Past Masters, YOSHI, Noble Bob Sapp
and his Lady Jessie, Noble B.J. Odom
and Susan in the front office and
especially my wife Becky who did most
of the “egg” work. Also, thanks to Lady
Debbie Sapp who assisted in the
purchase of Easter basket treats and
construction of all the beautiful baskets.
I will also be sending thank you letters
to Walmart on Highway 29 and Walmart
on Blue Angel Parkway for their
donations of $50 gift cards for this event.
ANTIQUE
CAR UNIT
By: Red Stewart
Hello Everyone from the Old Car Family:
We begin our article talking about the
Mustang Car show at the Fairgrounds.
Once again we were invited to collect
donations at the exit gate for the parking
lot. We shared this job with members
from the Ronald McDonald House. This
is the second year that we have worked
with these people from Ronald
McDonald House. They are enjoyable
to work with, plus most of them are
young ladies, who are a great deal
easier to look at than the older male
members of the Antique Car Unit. The
monies collected are divided between
the two organizations at the end of the
week-end. The job went off without any
difficulties and we did collect a goodly
amount for our children’s transportation
fund.
We had a good turnout from our unit
members. More help would have been
great, but for one reason or another
some of our members couldn’t make it.
To those who did turnout, thanks from
our leader, John Hartley. John was out
all three days, leading from example. A
good job was done by all.
MAY 2012
We want to thank member Bob McNeil
for making this opportunity available to
us. Bob has been active in the
Pensacola Mustang Club for many
years. It is through his efforts that we
were afforded the chance to work at the
Mustang Show. Also we, as members
of Hadji, need to thank any member of
the Mustang Club, we might know or
meet, for the donation they make to
Hadji, each year, from the money they
collect at their show. They have been
helping us for a great number of years
and a great amount of money.
Now from work to play. We joined the
Untouchables Unit at our March
meeting or a good old get together, We
joined together at the Temple cook
shank before our March meeting for
some good food and beverages. We
enjoyed some fried mullet (caught,
cleaned and cooked by our own John
Hartley). This was aided by the chicken
wings from the Untouchables and side
dishes from the ladies I didn’t hear
anything from anyone, but it was good,
judging from the full looking bellies of
most of us afterwards. A good time was
had by all who attended.
Now to a more serious side of things.
Unit member Curt Reynolds is still
recovering from heart surgery. He has
had a difficult time from the information
I have gotten. But, he is now on the
mend. He is supposed to join some of
his family in Texas for recuperation.
Once he is completely well we look for
him to return home to us at Hadji. Let’s
keep him in our prayers.
That is it from the Old Car Folks for this
month.
