It Began at Grand Lodge in october, 2005
M.W. William Wadkins, M.W. P.Donald Carey and Bro. Carl Cox,
representing the Delaware Colonials, announced the formation of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient
Free & Accepted Masons in Delaware.

AND IT CONTINUED at THE Grand Lodge OF MARYLAND
in NOVEMBER, 2005
M.W. Ronald Belanger, Grand Master of Masons in Maryland, noticed a person in Grand Lodge who was wearing a hat!.
That person turned out to be none other than Jesse Green, second Grand Master in Delaware, who was there to inform the Grand Lodge of Maryland that the
$124 owed by Hope Lodge #4 in Laurel, Delaware had been paid.
As the debt was finally cleared, “Bro. Green” asked the Grand Lodge of Maryland for recognition.
M.W. Belanger then presented a plaque to M.W. Ronald W. Conaway, formally extending the recognition of the Grand Lodge of Maryland to the Grand Lodge
of Delaware for the first time.
