I've got to say that I'm very pleased to see more and more
Masters, and even Grand Masters replacing the Top Hat with a western style hat.
There is no question but that the Top Hat makes our
fraternity seem totally out of date and completely out of touch with the modern
world. Besides, it is a false tradition
anyway, having itself come into existence long after our lodges were publicly
operating.
The western hat, in the United States is a distinct and
recognizable part of our culture and I think that it sends a much more
appropriate message regarding our fraternity and its relevance to modern life.
Maybe someday soon we'll be lucky enough to see all those
old Toppers relegated to artifact display cases in our lodges.
In our own lodge, Centralia 63, WB Lou has done more to
break the old false tradition than anyone.
Thanks WB Lou!
