‘Skeletons in the Lodge Hall’

If you think I know where Freemasonry’s skeletons are buried, wait until you hear from Heather! The perfect choice for the Sankey Lecture, Heather Calloway is the Executive Director of Indiana University’s Center for Fraternal Collections and Research.

She’s got a million stories. Attend the lecture in person or online. Don’t cost nothin’.

Wow! This is going to be great. Heather not only knows huge amounts about American fraternalism, but also she participates in and respects these groups. I had the privilege of working with her for some 10 years and was most impressed with her knowledge and work ethic. The only regret I have with her was when she was working on her doctorate. I tried to convince her to sign up for statistics -- you never know when you might need to do a chi square goodness of fit test, but she couldn't be convinced. --Brent
