REPORT OF THE GRAND COMMANDER
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.
Most Worshipful Grand Master, Right Eminent Grand Captain
General, Right Eminent Department Commander, Past Grand
Commanders, Officers of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky
and Sir Knights,
First let me say how much I appreciate the opportunity
afforded me to serve as the Grand Commander of Kentucky. It
has been a very rewarding and memorable experience.
I want to tell you that the state of Templar Masonry in
Kentucky is improving. I would like to say that it is good or
fine, but the reality is that although strides have been made and
improvements have taken place, there is still much to be done.
However, the enthusiasm of the Sir Knights is very
encouraging. Knightings are up and quality of the Order
conferrals is good AND getting better.
I attribute much of this success to the support of the
Grand Master, Gary C. Rose and the other Grand Lodge officers
and of course his immediate predecessor, MW Timothy D.
Sanders. Their willingness to allow presentations during the
District meetings have gone a long way in letting the Master
Masons of Kentucky understand that their journey did not end
when they were raised but was only a part of their York Rite
Journey. A very important part, but still only a part. So thank
you Most Worshipful Sir.
But the support of our Grand Lodge is only a part of
the story. You Sir Knights need to take a bow as well. Support
and allowances might spark an interest, but you are the ones
that make things happen in our local Commanderies. You are
the “boots on the ground” Knights that is needed for any
Commandery to improve. Your willingness to go the extra mile
for Templar Masonry is what accounted for the many Knighting
that have taken place. I can’t express to you enough my deep
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
16
appreciation for all you have done. Thank you seems so
inadequate but know that it is indeed sincere.
COMMANDERY VISITS
Sir Knights, several have mentioned that I failed to
visit their Commandery this year. For that I must apologize. My
health and the request to confer degree work in Lodges,
Chapters and to a lesser extend Councils caused me to re-
schedule several intended visits. My duties in performing
Masonic Funeral Rites to the dozen or so Lodges in my area
was another factor in my failure to make a visit to every
Commandery this year. But Sir Knights, that was never my
intent. Yes, I know that many of you judge the success or failure
of a grand presiding officer by the number of visits he makes.
But I think it is more important to go where I may be of the
most good. I wanted to make a difference, not just show up,
shake a few hands and say a few words, then hurry to the next
Body to do the same thing. I tried to attend those Bodies where
I thought I was needed as well as those special events where my
presence was of a benefit to Templar Masonry. Again, if you
are a member of one of the four, (4) Commanderies which I
failed to visit, and you felt slighted, I do apologize.
THANKS TO ALL
When one decides to pursue a grand line, you never
know whom your counterparts might be. Well let me tell you
that I really lucked out. I have been blessed to have served with
some truly fine gentlemen.
Our Most Worshipful Grand Master, Gary Rose has always
been supportive and accommodating to any of my requests. I
would like to thank him for making time to attend the Knighting
of Sir Knight Herman A. Schlageter of Louisville DeMolay
Commandery # 12. Herman’s failing health prevented him from
making the scheduled outdoor conferral and his Knighting took
place just 10 days prior to his death. But thanks to the Sir
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
17
Knights of Louisville DeMolay Commandery, he was a Knight
Templar at the time of his passing, having been Knighted by
our Most Worshipful Grand Master. Thank you, Most
Worshipful Sir.
I also want to recognize and thank our Most Excellent
Grand High Priest, Ron Ledford for his devotion to the craft. I
must admit that I had reservations as to what ME Companion
Ron would do as the Grand High Priest, but he showed himself
to be equal to the task. I ran into him on many occasions, and
he always represented Capitular Masonry in an exceptional
manner. Yes, he can be a little crazy at times, and always had a
wild story to tell. But when he was filling his role as the Grand
High Priest, he was all business. I was truly impressed with your
commitment to the craft. Thanks Ron.
And to the last of the elected presiding officers but
certainly not the least, Most Illustrious Grand Master Charles
Durham, or Charlie as I always referred to him, (and hope it was
acceptable). Never have I encountered another Mason as
dedicated and committed to doing the job expected of him as
our Most Illustrious Companion Charlie. He has been a true
gentleman at all times. His energy was unsurpassed. I feel
blessed to have had the opportunity to serve at the same time as
he. He made us all better by his leadership and love for
Freemasonry in general and Cryptic Masonry in particular. You
sir at a true asset to the craft of Kentucky. I will always cherish
these times when I was privileged to serve alongside of you.
Thank you, dear friend.
To my appointed officers, Inspector General and
Division Commanders and Personal Aides. To say that you
exceeded my expectations would seem to say that I didn’t
expect much from you, or that I had set the bar very low.
Nothing could be further from the truth. You represented the
Grand Commandery of Kentucky in the very best manner one
might imagine. I truly felt confident in your abilities and
dedication. Thank you.
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
18
To my fellow elected officers. Thank you for covering for me
on those occasions when we were not together. I never doubted
your commitment to the Sir Knights and to the Commanderies
of Kentucky. We can expect even better things from you as you
advance through the line. Thank you.
To our Grand Recorder, R.E. Past Grand Commander
Jim King and his office staff. Thanks for keeping me on track.
Your dedication to the Fraters of Kentucky is without equal. It
is difficult to truly appreciate your service until one has served
and relied upon you for all the little things. To say this year
would have been a much more difficult without your assistance
is an understatement. Thanks Jim.
STATE OF OUR COMMANDERIES
As I had indicated earlier, the state of the
Commanderies is improving. There are several stories that can
be told of Commanderies struggling against the odds and
making positive things happen. Yes, we lost one Commandery
to consolidation, when Whitesburg consolidated with Jenkins
Commandery. But this resulted in a stronger Body for all
concerned. And yes, we have four Commanderies that I must
recommend for probation due to not having a Knighting this
year, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. I can also talk to
you about Jefferson, Marion, Conrad Cates, Richmond and
Winchester as true success stories. I can tell you how the Sir
Knights of Paintsville has made significant strides in the past
four years to not only Knight several new Sir Knights each year
but has progressed in becoming capable of doing a great deal of
their own work. How Ashland has overcome some local
struggles to again be counted as a heathy and growing
Commandery. These along with several others that I haven’t
mentioned are the reasons I am confident that better things are
ahead of us. Thank you, Sir Knights, and keep working for
Templar Masonry.

SISTER JURISDICTIONS AND APPENDENT BODIES
One of the pure pleasures of a presiding officer is the
opportunity to visit and represent you at our sister Masonic
Bodies. I have the distinct pleasure of attending the Grand Court
of the Order of Amaranth in April, the Grand Assembly
Rainbow for Girls in June, the Annual Conclave of the Order of
DeMolay in July and it is my plan to attend the Grand Session
of the Order of Eastern Star in September. I also am pleased to
say that I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Commandery
of Ohio last October, the Grand Commandery of North Carolina
in March, the Grand Commandery of Indiana in April and the
Grand Commandery of Michigan in August. At each of these
sessions, I was received and accorded the most profound
respect and honor. I do appreciate their efforts in recognizing
your Grand Commander on your behalf. And although I have
already thanked them, but if you get the opportunity, please
thank them again, because they truly deserve it.
MAJOR EVENTS
I also want to touch on some of the major events that
took place this year. The Easter Trip to Washington D.C. was
again most enjoyable. Sir Knight Bill Ryan and Sir Knight
Michael Yount once again provided a wonderful trip for us to
enjoy. Their Saturday excursion to Gettysburg will always be
etched in my mind as a highlight of my term as your Grand
Commander. Sir Knights, if you haven’t made the Easter Trip,
it needs to be on your “bucket list”. And more often than just
once.
The East Central Department Meeting in Fort Wayne
was a great time to hear and experience the things that our
Grand Encampment is doing and planning for your future. I
have always enjoyed my time at these events and feel you will
as well. Remember that this meeting is open to all Sir Knights,
not just your elected officers. The leadership program that is
provided is worth several hundred dollars and is offered to you
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
20
at no cost. You really need to go. Thanks to our Department
Commander Right Eminent Gerald Pugh for an outstanding
session.
The first ever, at least in Kentucky, of the Outdoor
Conferral of the Orders was a huge success. Sixteen new Sir
Knights were Knighted with the help of Sir Knights from
several Commanderies. And although modifications had to be
made just a few days prior to the event, and the work involved
was at times exhausting, I feel it was well worth the time and
effort. A special thanks to Sir Knight Kevin Miles for providing
his property, high on a knob in central Kentucky, for a
wonderful setting. Kevin worked extremely hard in preparing
the site, and things turned out perfect. And thanks go out to Sir
Knight John Johnson, Sir Knight Randolph Starks and our own
Department Commander Sir Knight Gerald Pugh for your
contribution. The success of this evening was due, in large part,
to the willingness of these Sir Knights to step up. Thank you so
very much.
The Flag Ceremony held for “Charlie” Company 2nd
Battalion 138th Field Artillery Christmas Breakfast. Sir
Knights, we were joined by our Most Worshipful Grand Master
who presented the flag through the Lines at the beginning of
this ceremony. It was very impressive. Thanks to all who took
the time to be with us that morning.
HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE FUND RAISER
I am especially pleased that Jefferson Commandery,
under the leadership of Sir Knight Gregory A. Raque has
produced a Challenge Coin to sell to raise funds to send a
minister to on the Holy Land Pilgrimage. This is in addition to
the funds generated by the Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee
and the fifty cents, (.50) which is paid as a portion of your
assessments. Through the efforts of Sir Knight Raque, who not
only designed the coin, but raised the funds to purchase 300 of
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
21
these coins, we will be able to contribute $3,000.00 to this
wonderful cause. Thanks Greg.
GENERAL ORDERS AND DISPENSATIONS
The General Orders that I issued, along with the
Dispensations granted are listed for your information and for
review by the Jurisprudence Committee. I assure you that each
was taken only after careful consideration of all the facts
relating to the matter at hand. I trust I acted in the best interests
of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky.
APPOINTMENTS OF REPRESENTATIVES
The recommendations for appointments to Grand
Commanderies for their Representatives near the Grand
Commandery of Kentucky are listed, as well as those
appointments that I approved for representatives to the Grand
Commandery of Kentucky living near their respective Grand
Commanderies. I am confident that these Sir Knights who have
been recommended will serve with honor and distinction.
PROBATIONS
Sadly, I must recommend that Lexington
Commandery # 1, and Shelby Commandery # 2, be placed on
probation for not having at least one Knighting this Templar
year. Newport Commandery # 13 and Covington Commandery
# 7 also did not have a Knighting during the 2018-2019 Templar
year, however both have rectified this by Knighting a new Sir
Knight in August. I would strongly encourage them arrange to
have these Knighting during the time period of the Templar
year. I encourage our elected officers to continue to assist these
Commanderies so that they can be removed from this probation.
VISITORS
I am especially pleased to be able to extend to our
visitors a most genuine Kentucky welcome. It is my hope that
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
22
your visit here will be enjoyable and allow us to return the great
hospitality that I have received while visiting your respective
Grand Commanderies. It is my pleasure to recommend that
each of our visiting Grand Commanders, who have not already
received Honorary membership in the Grand Commandery of
Kentucky to receive this Honor and Distinction today. Thank
you for taking the time to be with us.
NECROLOGY
The Grand Commandery of Kentucky was saddened
to have suffered the loss of ___ Sir Knights during this Templar
year. While all will be missed, I want to point out the great loss
we suffered with the death of Most Eminent Past Grand Master
of the Grand Encampment and Right Eminent Past Grand
Commander of Kentucky Donald Hinslea Smith in April 2019.
He, along with Past Grand High Priests Norman Harper and
Gene Atkins and Most Illustrious Past Grand Master, John D.
Jacobs were eulogized last evening during our Devotion
Service by our Grand Prelate, and will again be mentioned in
our Necrology Report. While we rejoice that all of these Fraters
have been welcomed and received in the immediate presence of
our Blessed Redeemer, we struggle with our personal loss as
they will no longer be among us.
AWARDS
This Templar year the awards that we provide for
those who are most deserving was handled a little differently.
While I researched the awards we present, I discovered that our
Grand Constitution does not expressly spells out how these
awards will be handled. Yes, I’m aware that the Constitution of
the Grand Encampment spells out the requirements of the
Knight Templar Cross of Honor, but several of our Past Grand
Commanders believed that this award was their selection to be
given to whom they alone wanted to receive it. This isn’t correct
as this is awarded by the Grand Master of the Grand
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
23
Encampment for service over and above that which is expected
of a Sir Knight. This should the most deserving of the many Sir
Knights of our jurisdiction who warrant recognition.
Legislation has been presented to clarify this and to address the
awarding of the Conrad Cates Award. I also wanted my Awards
Committee to review all of these recommendations and select
the one most deserving, which they then would forward to me
for my approval. This they have done, and the Conrad Cates
Award will be presented later today, and the Knight Templar
Cross of Honor will be announced at our Grand Banquet. Both
of these recipients are truly deserving, and I was pleased to add
my approval to the Committees’ recommendations. I have also
included a new award in this legislation to allow the Grand
Commander to make personal awards to a limited number of
those Sir Knights who he feels are deserving of recognition. I
hope it receives your support. And if it does, these Sir Knights
will be recognized later this morning.
KNIGHT TEMPLAR MAGAZINE
The Knight Templar Magazine Supplement has for
many years been edited by Sir Knight J.B. Hitt, II.
Unfortunately, due to health issues, Sir Knight Hitt decided in
November that it was in the best interest of you, the Sir Knights
of Kentucky, to step down. I want to thank him for his tireless
efforts over the many years he served in this position. And while
I was starting to panic over who to replace him with, Sir Knight
J.B. expertly recognized the ability of Sir Knight Randall
Partin, Past Grand Commander of Kentucky to assume this
position. Sir Knight Randall graciously accepted the challenge
and has proved that Sir Knight J.B. once again served the
Fraters of Kentucky well. J. B. while we will miss your
editorials, Randall’s efforts these past several months has
proven your replacement will carry on in the excellent tradition
you helped establish. Thanks to each of you.
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend that the Permanent Fund
Committee take a more active role in the management of our
investments. Although the Permanent Fund has done well,
prudent diversification of our assets is essential to providing
good returns, while managing our risks. We must remember
that these our YOUR funds Sir Knights, and our Permanent
Fund Committee are only the stewards acting on your behalf.
I would further recommend that we continue to
promote the Easter Sunrise Trip to our nation’s capital. This has
become an important part of our heritage and we must continue
encourage participation.
I would also recommend that we encourage Commanderies to
nominate deserving Sir Knights for the awards we are
available. In doing so, we will prevent any future
misunderstanding of who can be nominated and who it is that
actually makes the decision on each award.
And lastly I would recommend that we continue to
work with the Grand Chapter, Grand Council and our Grand
Lodge to promote unity among the Bodies of a combined York
Rite.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, allow me to thank the Sir Knights of
Marion Commandery and those of Jefferson Commandery for
their support during these past four years. You will never truly
know how much I appreciate your support and words of
encouragement as I have attempted to serve the Sir Knights of
Kentucky.
Thanks to the Sir Knights who arranged the combined
reception for Most Excellent Companion Ron Ledford, Most
Illustrious Companion Charles Durham and me. Sir Knight
Tom Brown, you really outdid yourself. Thank you!
And lastly to my wife Willetta. You have supported me as I’ve
traveled these past years. And done so mostly without
complaint. You have stayed up late waiting for me to return
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
25
home, accompanied me on my several out of state visits, and
worked extremely hard in preparing for the hospitality room
and our visiting guests. You have been both my harshest critic
and most ardent supporter. I can’t tell you enough how much
this support has meant. I love you and hope to be able to make
up to you for the many things you have given up on my behalf.
Courteously,
J. William Riggs, KCT
Grand Commander

The Grand Recorders office continues to run
efficiently due to the efforts of Noel Sloan. And I personally
wish to thank her for her work and dedication.

I am happy to report that due to the efforts of grand
Cmdr. Riggs and the Sir Knights of Kentucky we have been
able to reduce our losses and have had 112 Knighting’s this
year. The statistical portion of this report will better explain the
membership statistics. The Sir Knights of Kentucky are to be
congratulated for their efforts this year in getting petitions for
membership and for the conferrals across the state creating new
Sir Knights.
Without the assistance of the recorders across the
Commonwealth of Kentucky it would be impossible to operate
the office and we wish to thank them for their hard work and
dedication throughout this year.
Noel and myself are honored to have been able to serve the
grand commandery for another year and wish to thank the craft
for allowing us to do so.
Membership
This year we have again seen a loss (-180) in
membership our hope is as always that we will have an increase

GRAND TREASURER’S REPORT
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.
To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers and Sir
Knights of the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar of
Kentucky:
This is the Checking Account information for the General Fund
of the Grand Commandery:
Balance on hand, July 1, 2018 $45,911.67
Receipts July 1, 2018—June 30, 2019 $77,367.61
Expenses July 1, 2018 June 30, 2019 $77,812.39
Uncleared items $1,146.78
Balance on hand, June 30, 2019 $44,320.11
The Grand Recorder, Jim King, and his Secretary, Noel King,
continue to do an excellent job in monitoring expenses. In
addition, the Grand Officers have lived within the proposed
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
37
budget for the entire year. We have now achieved a long-time
goal of Grand Recorders and Grand Treasurers and can pay
current expenses from current income.
Part of our improved position is the reduction in expense we’ve
enjoyed for the Grand Sessions. Opening the joint account for
expenses which are common to Chapter, Council, and
Commandery seven years ago has enabled us to have a more
accurate distribution of these expenses, as opposed to the
former way in which we used a percentage for each body.
We paid $1230.50 for the Holy Land Pilgrimage. In addition,

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O
To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Eminent Grand
Officers, Right Eminent Past Grand Commanders and members
of the Constituent Commanderies of the Grand Commandery
Knights Templar of Kentucky.
This year we held one school of instruction for
Division Commanders and anyone who wanted to attend. It was
well attended and from several comments, well received.
We received inspection reports from all
Commanderies. Out of the 30 Commanderies inspected, all 30
participated in a full form opening although 3 did not hold
inspection and 7 did not pass-in-review.
The scores ranged from 483 to 119. A little down from the
previous year. The top 10 Commanderies were:
Ryan #17 Morehead #53
Williamsburg #50 Paintsville #48
Louisville-DeMolay #12 Franklin #44
Jackson #47 Pikeville #45
Covington #7 Marion #24
I offer my sincere thanks to the Division Commanders
who performed their duties well. Several were in this position
for the first time and a couple accepted the position at the last
minute.
I think that we should remember that the Inspection is
a tool for instruction and a gauge of where we are and where we
can improve. Although there is a trophy for the highest score,
let us not get so wrapped up in achieving score, but use the
inspection to help us grow in the tactics and ritual of our Order.

Right Eminent Grand Commander I thank you for the
opportunity to serve as your Inspector General. I am grateful for
the experience.

REPORT OF THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION
COMMITTEE
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.
To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Eminent Grand
Officers, Right Eminent Past Grand Commanders and members
of the Constituent Commanderies of the Grand Commandery
Knights Templar of Kentucky.
Your Committee of the Education Foundation
received only one request for a scholarship this year. The
application was received from Jonah T. Wilbanks. He is a
student of Biblical Counseling at Boyce College at Southern
Seminary.
After careful review of his application and college transcript,
the Committee voted to approve a scholarship in the amount of
$2000.00. A check for that amount has been mailed to the
school’s director of student administration. A copy of Mr.
Wilbanks application and college transcript are on file in the
Grand Recorder’s office.
The Committee has also voted to recommend that our
funds be invested with the Grand Encampment program.
Currently we have to invest the funds, pay for an audit of those
funds each year and the return is not always the greatest. The
Grand Encampment keeps a separate accounting of our funds
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
53
but invests them with all of the other participating Grand
Commanderies providing a higher return on our investment.
The members of this committee thank the Grand
Commander for allowing us to serve the Grand Commandery
in this capacity.

REPORT OF THE WORK COMMITTEE
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.
To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir
Knights of The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of
Kentucky:
I am pleased to report that the state of Ritual Work
within the jurisdiction of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky
is good. One-day festivals were held in almost every region of
the state at some point during the year, and many of our
commanderies conferred the work in-house. In all, one hundred
twelve new knights were dubbed in the fiscal year ending June
30, with twenty-four of our commanderies gaining new
members. Congratulations especially to those commanderies
who knighted new members in double digits - Paintsville with
nineteen; Jenkins with thirteen and Williamsburg with eleven.
We would also commend those of our commanderies who hold
an annual scheduled festival: Paintsville Glasgow, DeMolay,
and Paducah. We have a number of others who confer the work
as candidates are available. I am also pleased to report that more
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
54
commanderies are beginning to confer their own work, at least
in part. As I have traveled this year, it has been good to see
numerous knights stepping into and performing parts that were
previously filled spur-of-the-moment. It is also good to see
some once struggling commanderies revitalized and becoming
active again.
I have not seen inspection results for the year so I
cannot factually report on the state of our tactical work. From
my observations during the year, I believe the work continues
to improve.
Sir knights, our work, both ritual and tactics, is a large part of
the glue which holds us together. It is meaningful and beautiful,
and worth doing well. Doing work well attracts new members
and keeps the old ones. Make the commitment this year to do
good work, ‘that they may see your good works, and glorify our
Father.’

REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O
To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir
Knights of The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of
Kentucky:
I would first like to thank the members of this
committee for their untiring efforts on behalf of the Masonic
fraternity. They collectively and individually have devoted
untold hours and traveled untold miles in pursuit of this
objective. To our Most Worshipful Grand Master, Sir Knight
Gary C. Rose in particular, for his untiring promotion of the
fraternity, including the appendant bodies, and his
encouragement of the appendant bodies to make presentations
at the District Meetings of the Blue Lodge, we owe a resounding
‘Thank You’. We commend our Grand Commander for his
efforts in ‘thinking outside the box’ with the outdoor conferral
of the Orders, and for his participation in a number of other
conferrals across the state.
In looking at our membership numbers over the past
year, we have again suffered a loss. As of the end of the Fiscal
Year, June 30, we had a net loss of 85 members, making our
total membership 2,225. The following is a brief evaluation.
The Positive One, this is one of the smallest losses to
occur in a number of years; two, our knightings have again
exceeded our deaths – (112 knighted and 71 deaths); and three,
this is the first time since 2010 that the number knighted has
exceeded the number of suspensions.
We would commend Paintsville No. 48 for knighting
nineteen (19) new members during this past fiscal year,
Williamsburg No. 50 for knighting eleven (11) of their own and
as many more, plus for surrounding commanderies, and Jenkins
No. 54 for knighting thirteen (13). In all, twenty-four (24)
commanderies took in new members during the past fiscal year
and are all to be commended for their efforts.
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
62
In addition, we would commend three commanderies,
Franklin No. 44, Somerset No. 31, and Williamsburg No. 50
whose membership has actually increased over what it was 5
years ago. Cynthiana No. 16, Ryan No. 17, Richmond No. 19,
Marion No. 24, Glasgow No. 36, and Mayfield No. 49 show a
membership loss of 10 or less during the same time span.
Paintsville No. 48 has been, by far the most active commandery
during that 5-year time period, knighting sixty-seven (67).
The Negative One, Suspensions and Demits continue
to plague us. During the fiscal year just ended, we knighted 112,
suspended 105 and demitted 83. Over the five-year period
previously referenced, we suspended 567, demitted 354, and
lost 339 to death. During that same period, we knighted 441. In
the parlance of the church, they’re going out the back door
faster than we can get them in the front. We are keeping ahead
of the losses due to death, but we’re not keeping up with the
ones walking away.
Two, knightings have stagnated. Not since 2010 have
we exceeded 200 in a year, and the average number of new
knights per year, over the last seven years has been less than
100. Thirteen commanderies report fewer than 10 knightings
total over the past 5 years; eight of those report 5 or fewer.
Conclusions and Recommendations For a number of
years, the emphasis has been on increasing our membership,
primarily by increasing the number of new members. Even a
brief perusal of the data shows that our major problem lies in
our suspensions and demits. The number we lose to death is
beyond our control, and statewide, we knight, on average,
roughly 25 more than we lose to death. On the other hand, over
the last seven years, on average, our total losses are just about
double our total gains.
A certain part of the problem, particularly in Eastern
Kentucky, has been economic. Much of the economy has been
based on mining in that region, and the loss of jobs in the mining
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
63
industry in recent years has dramatically affected the entire
region, and our membership. Six of the top ten commanderies
by number of suspensions are from east of I-75. Other factors
also come into play, of course, and it should be noted that seven
of the top ten commanderies by number of knightings are from
the same region. It should also be noted that a number appear
on both lists. Kudos to the guys who are working so hard to
keep things going.
We can turn around the decline in membership. We
must, of course, continue our efforts to recruit new members,
but to succeed, we must gain control of our suspensions and
demits. How? I propose the following as a start:
• Clearly define our purpose, a reason why
someone should want to be, and remain, a Knight Templar.
Promote that purpose. Every incoming Grand Commander has
a program, a plan for ‘his year’. Those plans are important, but
should, year in and year out, promote and support our core
purpose. Let our members, our candidates, see that we have a
clearly defined, valued reason for existence that they can be a
part of.
• Do impressive ritual. Every commandery
needs to be able to confer the Orders, and to confer them well.
Half-hearted, poorly read and stumbled through ritual and
tactics gives candidates and members the impression that we
don’t really care about the organization and that we are just
going through the motions. There are a number of knights who
are willing to travel and confer the Orders, and I have been
privileged to observe some very good ones, but every
commandery should have a goal of doing their own. (And it is
more important that the work be done, even poorly, than to
make candidates wait.) We have commanderies working
toward this goal, and their commanderies are turning around.
• Do impressive philanthropy. We have some
of the best philanthropies around. Support them. Promote them.
Look for opportunities to be an active part of the local
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky
64
community. Working together on community projects gives
visibility to the organization and builds camaraderie within the
organization.
• Continue to train our Division Commanders.
These men can become the core of a new day in Kentucky; well
trained, knowledgeable knights who share their training with
the commanderies in their jurisdictions.
Sir knights, we can turn around our decline in
membership. It will take a group effort to make it happen. This
committee can’t do it, nor can any single Grand Commander. It
will take the organization as a whole, it will take individual
commanderies turning themselves around. As a Grand
Commandery, we must better provide the tools and the
programs to provide a basis for long term, stable growth. I trust
that these thoughts may provide some impetus for positive
changes in that direction.

General Order No. 1
To: The Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand and Constituent
Commanderies of Knights Templar of Kentucky:
To all Sir Knights I would like to welcome you to
Grand Sessions this year. I want to take this opportunity to
thank all o the people that have help me the past three years. I
could not have done this alone.
The Past Grand Commanders have put programs in place
that have helped the Commandery across The Commonwealth
grow. I plan on continuing with their efforts and do what I can
to help improve on them. I will continue to work closely with
Grand Lodge and hope to introduce the York Rite to as many
Symbolic Lodge Members as possible.
During inspections, Commanderies are required to open
in full form. I know this is hard sometimes, but at least try and
do your best. You will have new Sir Knights during these
inspections help them so that in years to com they can help the
ones to that succeed them. In order to strengthen this Grand
Commandery we must look to our future and new members are
that future. Showing them, we have an interest in the York Rite
is the only way we can get new strong member. Mentoring these
new Sir Knights will pave the way to a solid path for the
Commandery.
2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

In closing thank you for the honor to serve as Grand
Commander this year, I will do my best to make this a
productive year. If there is anything, I can do to be of assistance
to you or any Commandery please let me know. May God
guide, guard and protect you in your travels. Let us all keep
Jesus in our hearts.
