Dr. Deary Vaughn 33°

Sovereign Grand Commander

My Brothers, I know and recognize you are my strength; you are my confidants; you are my support. Together we will forge ahead into this new millennium working in harmony to achieve our aims and our goals. We will endeavor to educate ourselves concerning the "Rite" I will lead and I will do this with the presence of almighty God forever in my sight and in my spirit. I need you to pray for me ask Got to grant me a portion of righteousness of heart ask God to grant unto this servant a measure of strength in character , and a talent of wisdom like unto Solomon that I may do only those things pleasing to Him. I hold no special monopoly on ideas, and so, I need your help if we are to add to the accomplishments and achievements of my predecessor. With divine guidance and our labors, we can and will accomplish much. As we embark upon a new era, we must never ever forget the contributions and the dedicated lives of our leaders who were before me. "And when all the working tools of life shall have fallen from my grasp," I pray that history will find me worthy to proudly stand in line with our honored and revered I. H. Clayborn, S. J. Bennett, Edgar Bridges and those before them.

Thank you and may the God of  Love continue to shower each of you and your loved ones with manifold blessings. "God and My Right"
