Charles J. Correll and Freeman F. Gosden were both Freemasons and Shriners, and consciously patterned the administrative structure of the Mystic Knights of the Sea after that of Freemasonry: Great Supreme Kingfish = Grand Master, Kingfish = Worshipful Master, Whale = Senior Warden, Mackerel = Junior Warden, Shad = Secretary/Treasurer, Jellyfish = Deacon, Swordfish = Tyler. <BR/>[IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/yitzd/mystic_knights_of_the_sea_pic.jpg[/IMG]yitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411834008384018418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-33495386406811674122008-11-07T01:11:00.000+02:002008-11-07T01:11:00.000+02:00Is it just me, or aren't there any other pictures ...Is it just me, or aren't there any other pictures of Peres?

The protocol in relation to such things is taken very seriously here in the UK, old-fashioned nation that we are.<BR/><BR/>By the way, whilst the Queen is the 'fount of honour' the names of the recipients are submitted by various organs of the government, and the Queen rarely, if ever, refuses the submissions. So, it's a political process (in relation to honours given to well-known people).<BR/><BR/>RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-774418432614531292008-11-06T16:33:00.000+02:002008-11-06T16:33:00.000+02:00It wouldn't be Sir Peres, but rather Sir Shimon.It wouldn't be Sir Peres, but rather Sir Shimon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
