Sovereign Grand Master Interview

December 07, 2023 • Toby Hanson, Ainslie Heilich, Mike Duminiak • Season 4 • Episode 9

Our Sovereign Grand Master, John Cupp, is a very busy man. We were very fortunate when he made some time at the West Virginia Grand Sessions to sit down and talk with co-host Mike Duminiak about his time as Sovereign Grand Master and some of his experiences in Odd Fellowship. He was joined partway through the interview by his wife Emilie who also shared some experiences and observations. Both are very intelligent and articulate leaders in our Order and we feel very fortunate that they made the time to speak with Mike. The Shoutout goes to the newly-revived Reno Encampment #5 of Reno, Nevada. In the Odd Podge Toby recounts his trip to Lake Tahoe for an Odd Fellows Thanksgiving, Mike previews the upcoming 175th Anniversary Dinner of Kanawha Lodge #25, and Ainslie shares the success of his lodge's open house and potato bar.
