Season six brought some exciting developments to the Three Links Odd Cast. The biggest one was Meredith Moore joining as co-host and Director of Institutional Research. We expressed our gratitude for Past Co-host Mike Duminiak and his years of hard work on the show. We also reviewed and discussed our various episodes from throughout the season. Some of those highlights included the on-location episode recorded in Yreka, California for the Cave Degree, an interview with Past Co-host Duminiak about his book "Oddtistic," a look at the fraternal cemetery business with Brother Jon Hart of the Odd Fellow Memorial Gardens in Livermore, California, another tattoo episode (of course!), the Christmas episode, Meredith's two survey episodes about burnout and the future of the Rebekahs, the new lodge in San Antonio (for which Toby made a special musical recording), and the episodes about new and revitalized lodges in Tennessee, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. We closed out with a great conversation with Sovereign Grand Master Tom Calabrese who provided us with some great wisdom and insight. All in all, it was a pretty good season. The Shoutout went to another revived Encampment, Pueblo #1 of Colorado. In the Odd Podge, Toby is looking forward to his Washington Grand Sessions with old friend Kelly Hughes returning as Sovereign Grand Warden, Meredith gave credit to a number of lodges doing great things, and Ainslie spilled the beans on the upcoming Three Links Emporium and Tattoo Extravaganza at Sovereign Grand Lodge.
